If you make it a habit to brush your teeth twice a day, you can avoid seeing the dentist constantly. It is a pity that many people do not give the attention and consideration they give to their teeth for improving mental health. If mental health improves, the whole day will be happy. You can move forward with energy. By acquiring better mental health each day, life itself becomes more enjoyable.
Stress hormones are a major factor in mental health impairment. So the first thing to do is to reduce the level of the stress hormone, cortisol. Conscious effort is required for this. Elevated cortisol levels can also lead to various physical ailments. To avoid this, 15 minutes should be found at the beginning of the day.
Doing things regularly can lead to boredom. Wake up every morning and do morning rituals. Going to the office. Working regularly in the office. Coming back home. Eating and sleeping… It’s a mechanical life. Sometimes you may even lose enthusiasm for the work you do. And yet it somehow carries on because it is a way of life.
Many people are overwhelmed by the boredom of what they are going to do when they wake up. Such negative thoughts burden the mind and make it restless.
Thus those who are stuck in the routine, find new activities at the start of the day. For instance, consciously examine the inner self. What is in my mind right now, what thoughts are driving me… etc. Pay attention to inner well-being. Make time for things like listening to music in the morning, taking a deep breath while drinking coffee in bed and relaxing, walking, gardening, reading, etc.
Don’t repeat these same things every day. Doing so can sometimes lead to boredom as well. If you listen to music one day, meditate on another. Talk to yourself. Dedicate the rest of the day to a morning walk, exercise, or gardening. Start each day fresh. Do something fresh. One can even renew love and friendship by calling a long-lost friend. It may be going back to happy memories. It is also important to examine what you feel when doing such actions. Are you able to achieve inner peace…? Is your mind a little freed…?
Beyond all this, you look in the mirror and say to yourself: Today is going to be a good day. This day will be good… This day I will be happy. Bring positive thoughts to mind. Resolve not to get upset over the little things. No one else can give you inner peace, you have to create it for yourself. A person who does not have mental health cannot take on challenges or succeed in life. It is the mind that gets tired first, then the body. The exhaustion of the body is a continuation of the breakdown of the mind. We have to keep our minds healthy.
Welcome the day with the understanding that the key to my happiness is in my hands and I am the one who decides whether I will be happy or not on this day. Consciously make time for mental health each day.
