Care for your MENTAL HEALTH

Living a happy, healthy life requires maintaining your mental health. But sadly, millions of people suffer from mental illnesses that make them feel helpless, alone, and without hope. To deal with their mental illnesses and numb this suffering, many turn to drugs and alcohol.

Here I will discuss some points regarding coping up with some mental problems :

1) Select an appropriate location and time for this meditation. Sit down in a chair to start, or try leaning against a wall. Relax your entire body. Don't wear tight outfits. After that, start taking deep breaths while closing your eyes. Inhale for at least 6 seconds before slowly exhaling. Concentrate on one thought in particular. Keep breathing normally. Your whole body will gradually become more at ease. You should do this without paying attention to everything that comes to mind, no matter what. Always keep in mind that "thinking does not mean doing."

2) Start writing diary. It is a beneficial technique for mental wellness. Make a schedule, write down your plans, and note the day's occurrences.

3) Listen to music
4) Prioritise your passions, hobbies. Whatever you choose to do, keep going but don’t stop.

5) Involve yourself in some physical exercises, yogas, pranayamas etc.

6) Speak more. Talk to people every day. Take a look around you. Discover the people and news in your environment.

7) To boost your confidence, stand in front of a mirror, stare in the mirror, and repeatedly say, "I can do, I will do." Practice this daily.

8) Never try to win by force, if you know that you are wrong.

9) Don't give up all the joys of your life thinking about "what people will say, what people will think".

10) Try to avoid negative people. 
11) Never be sad about the success of others. Never get jealous. Be happy with the happiness of others. Remember that your time will also come.

12) Express yourself to someone you trust or someone who would really understand you. Never wrap yourself up.

13) Never take any decision when you are angry. If you feel hopeless or you couldn't find any way out, don't know what to do, discuss it with someone and share everything related to it.

14) Don't expect from anybody.
15) Don't depend upon orhers rather be self dependent.

16) Be content with what you have. Never compare.

17) For overcoming fears :
         • be calm
         • don't rush in that situation
         • focus on your target
         • never let anything or anyone to divert yourself
         • go ahead with courage
         • never look back
         • Don't go back in fear, do more of what you are afraid to do. You have to deal with fear only then you will be able to overcome it.

18) Sometimes silence is better than nonsense.

19) Don't believe in luck, always believe yourself.

20) Always keep a smile on your face. You may also keep a photo of a smiling person with you and see it in the middle.

21) Be positive. Think positive. Talk positive.

22) Take enough sleep daily.
23) You are like yourself, you don't have to be like anyone else.

24) Don't let your emotions affect your performance. Remember no one pays for tears in this world.

25) Never underestimate yourself or think yourself as a loser.

26) "Listen with one ear and let out with the other ear".

27) Don't let your thoughts to control you.

28) Don't stay idle........rather try to engage yourself to some task. This may be any kind of task which will give you joy and keep you busy. You can try some brain games(puzzles, cognitive, intelligence, detectives cases, maths, memory, attention, concentration etc.).

29) In case of any conversation, first listen to the person then answer. Don't rush in between.

30) Delete "Ego" from your mind to maintain any kind of healthy relationship.

31) Always encourage and motivate yourself.

32) Try to be in the real world rather than virtual world.

So, I hope you will go through these and follow the same. Always remember that you are not alone
