Inhale. Exhale.
I like to come out truthful. See, I'm not one of those people who go and on about mental health and the issues around it. I understand that it's a thing. That mental health illnesses are a thing that a lot of persons are battling with. I'm just the kind of person who never let's herself get caught in all of that web. I just ensure that as I take care of my body, in same fashion do I take care of everything that completes me.
One's mental health is very vital and crucial. A good number of people think that mental health has to do with madness(at least, i have heard something in that line) but they got it wrong!
Mental health is simply the condition of being sound mentally and emotionally, characterized by the absence of mental illness and by feelings of positivity.
It is very important that we know how to handle ouur mental health. Everyone needs to have this in their personal development.
How do you react to failures? How do hanlde problems? How do you pursue your goals and dreams? How do you see possibility in the midst of all odds?
Our mental health centres on what we think. it's a mind game and we need to be in control of what we think and things that comes into our minds.
For the most part, I believe that I have been on top of things with mine. I've grown to that point where without consciously trying, I have it in check. I don't let things bother me. I hate the level of anxiety that I can get to. That's why I always strive to maintain internal peace. I do this with the knowledge that if I let my mental health be shaken, then every other area of my wellbeing will follow suit. I had a pretty tough year last year, one that drained me of peace and I can tell you categorically that from my studies to my physical wellbeing, to sleep and to everything else, they all felt that heat and they suffered. I can't say how I managed to get through that but...time, maybe.
And, nature.
I love nature. I love to sit under a tree and do nothing. As I write this, even, I am sitting under one. I like the calm amd clarity it somehow provides.
This is one way that I keep me sane. By enjoying moments with nature. Or by taking walks. Short or long walks. In those moments, that i feel overwhelmed or like i could burst anytime soon, i pick myself up and just move. It always makes me feel like the my troubles go away and my mind gets the declutter it needs. In that moment, the bad energy is expelled and I can think things straight.
Its also important to me that I don't stay in places or be around people who dampen my mood. I know well, very well, how debilitating things can get from letting in just a tiny bit of moodiness or negative thoughts and energy. It just goes downhill and gets worse. And I could never let me get to that point. I guard my mental health very jealously. You should too.
Thanks for gracing this post.
