The quality of one’s mental health can be facilitated by the little things we do. We often want to see the big actions to believe we are moving or progressing in life, but the process which is usually dressed up in small, mundane, and consistent steps is important. When you learn to be consistent, certain actions start to feel more natural and become less of a burden, this applies to any new skill that one learns. This skill is vital for one to improve their thinking, processing, and reasoning in life. Learn to empower yourself with healthy thoughts, self-parenting, and positive affirmations. A study conducted by a psychologist at Queen’s University in Canada suggested that on average, a human being has 6 200 thoughts per day. How many of those thoughts are good and positive? It is important to acknowledge our thoughts and to become more self-aware. All sorts of thoughts will continue to come, but we must learn to filter and release the negative ones.
If we can sharpen our cognitive skills, we will surely win some battles pertaining to mental health.
A friend of mine, Zandi suggested I prepare a quiz to help people assess themselves mentally. I thought it was a brilliant idea. To those of us who are still having challenges with our mental wellness, this blog post is especially for you. If you believe you are mentally healthy, please do take note of this as well, you may gain some wisdom that will help you become an even better version of yourself. Being mentally healthy provides us with skills to cope with life’s situations and difficulties. It does not mean we are equipped with potions that make our problems disappear, but it certainly empowers us with the necessary tools to tackle challenges and even thrive despite any negative encounters.
