Help Support Know Your Why
Hey everyone. First off, thank you for your support so far these past two and a half years.
Although Know Your Why is not registered as a non-profit yet, it does not sell any product, bring in an income, receive any type of compensation, or turn a profit in any way. The people who help make Know Your Why possible and keep it running do so without payment and on their own time.
However, to keep know Your Why alive and running, there are recurring costs involved—web hosting, domain name, and security amongst other miscellaneous costs. Know Your Why also has a vision of growth including podcasts, publications, advertising for visibility, and direct contributions to mental health and addiction programs/charities.
We humbly ask that if you enjoy Know Your Why, want to see us grow, and want to help us continue to spread a positive message of health, recovery, and wellness that you consider contributing. Your support will immediately help us defer costs and keep the site and movement alive. Any amount will help and be appreciated.
If you can’t support us financially or are unsure but would like to learn more, visit us on our various platforms. Any like, comment, or share is greatly appreciated and equally important as any financial support.
Thank you in advance. To help support Know Your Why Recovery please visit our GoFundMe.

Guest Blog-10 Important Concepts
Below we have another guest blog. This one comes from our friend Mikey Crichton from Creative Isolation Lofts and was originally posted in a mutual Facebook group. It was written around New Year’s 2020 and he reflects on 10 important concepts he learned in the past decade. Though a year old now the information is still highly reflective and relevant.
We hate recycling content here at KnowYourWhy. However, this article, which was previously written last year and then shared at the launch of our site 6 months ago, is timely and useful.
This article was written by the creator of Know Your Why Recovery and was featured by our friends at Social and Relevant. The original publication link is https://socialandrelevant.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/guest-writer-chris-dorian/ The focus of this article is creating change in the new year but is relevant at any time change is needed.

Gratitude
A term you see used frequently this time of year is “gratitude.” Gratitude is important to those in recovery for various reasons. However, people on a recovery journey are not the only ones who can derive benefits from understanding and practicing gratitude. Learning to practice gratitude yields positive outcomes for our mental health and helps us find a deeper connection with our spiritual wellbeing.
