Things I do to keep my mental health strong: I realize that my personality is intense, and I tend to have more negative thoughts than positive ones. I often criticize myself over unimportant matters and care too much about what others think, basing my self-worth on external validation!
What I have learned, and what I continue to learn, is that nobody really cares. Validating yourself is the first step in the right direction.
Understanding that negative thoughts will always be present, but choosing how you react to them is the key to overcoming them. I like to imagine negative thoughts as passing clouds, observing them, reflecting on why I feel that way, and then letting them float away.
In addition, engaging in activities that make you feel better, promote health, and provide grounding can greatly contribute to mental stability.
My personal tools include waking up, making my bed, and going to the gym to move my body. This routine grounds me and reminds me that I am in control of my own life. I choose to wake up and move my body. I also avoid using phrases like 'I have to' because they make me feel like I have no choice in the matter.
Anyways, I hope you find peace in this chaotic world and discover things that bring you happiness.
This week's podcast will focus on leveling your mind and exploring ways to thrive better.
