4 ways to improve your mental health:
1. You’ve overcome problems before!
Remember that this is not the first time you’re facing a problem. You’ve faced problems before, & you’ve overcome them. Learn from your experience. You’ll get over this as well.
2. Hold on to the positive.
If we’re given 10 compliments & 1 insult, we tend to hold on to the 1 insult. We need to reorient ourselves & accept that when there are 10 positives that come our way, it is inevitable that there might be 1 negative as well.
3. Active Compassion.
There’s a great joy in giving. If you get involved in action-oriented expression of compassion, you’ll feel much better. Get involved in service projects in your community.
4. Live in the present moment.
Our mind keeps oscillating between the past & the future, and then we crib about the past or feel anxious about the future. Joy & happiness can be found in the present moment.
