While sinking down; when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul; Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down.
While millions join the theme, to God and to the Lamb I will sign; to God and to the Lamb, who is the great I AM, Know what guys, I will sing, I will sing, To God and to the Lamb, Know what, I will sing, I’m almost sure I will sing.
I will sing. When from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on. Then, while sing and joyful be, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’m free.

One in four people will experience mental illness in their lifetime.
We will all have experienced the flux of emotions that accompany the loss of a friend or loved one, or the anxiety that accompanies the loss of a job or business. Those suffering through mental illness are more often than not alienated from the outside world and some may even be rejected by family members. These behaviors often result in rejection by the people around them due to fear or frustration. Doesn’t it sound familiar? Plenty of individuals experience these symptoms on a daily basis and sometimes with more severity, accompanied by behaviors which others do not understand. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Those suffering symptoms of mental illness may try hiding their problem due to stigma surrounding their condition. Therefore this often exacerbates their mental health problem but, most of us know that there is with other powerful tools, that brings us to the pic of creative recovery.
Use of artistic ols to lessen the intensity of symptoms of mental illness is an important factor for recovery.
Art places a person in the moment and connects them to a productive activity which lessens the feeling of hopelessness.
Anyone can create something colorful and meaningful to ease the mind through constructive distraction. I am sure that the participant experiences visual power over unhealthy thoughts, No longer at the mercy of a mind that can’t control itself due to chemical imbalance, trauma or substance abuse. With that said, this activity works most effectively when in a group setting among others recovering from mental illness. That’s interesting right? This feeling of empowerment is an important part of personal recovery. Accordingly the sense of accomplishment achieved by creating or participating in any kind of art including performance art raises selfesteem and increases one’s motivation to pursue recovery further.
Basically the feeling of comradery and support diminishes the feeling of loneliness and increases selfawareness through interaction with peers. Hope is an essential ingredient for recovery from mental illness. More so to take action ward ‘selfexpression’, the goal isn’t to create great works of art. Self portraits change from day to day as a person’s mood and emotions change. That’s a fact, it’s the simple feeling of accomplishment and shifting focus from the harsh perspective of thoughts and feelings experienced by those with mental illness, to the power of simple action creating something new and different rather while shutting out feelings of loneliness.
Loads of people consider that they must have special talent or experience with art to participate in such endeavors. So that’s not at all true. You can see an example of this recovery ol in action at.
