There are so many things that can cause havoc to your mental health.
Your upbringing, your job, money, business stress, relationship problems, family issues, your weight or how you view yourself in the mirror (I could go on).
With every single one of these, you have a choice to do something about it and/or change the meaning you associate with it.
Some things will be in your control, and some things will not.
There is no judgement on anyone as I write this – as I have chose to suffer mentally with every single one of these at some point in my life.
One of the strongest forces in the human personality is the need to remain consistent with how we define ourselves.
If you struggle with mental health then my heart goes out to those struggle mentally on a daily basis.
But if you tell yourself on a daily basis you struggle mentally, this label you attach to yourself will become a primary force of your character and identity.
The comfortable thing is to keep telling yourself you can’t see a way out, like I did for so many years after failing as a footballer, and after countless others heart aches… it did not serve me in anyway way.
There are so many things you can do to help yourself.
1. Focus your on energy on things that serve you
2. Be around those with traits you love
3. Speak nicer words to yourself
4. Move your body more
5. Simply take more action
All of these will Instantly improve your emotional state.
Whether you do or you don’t, life is going to continue either way.
Acknowledge pain, but don’t choose to blame…or stay there.
The mind is everything.
Use it as your greatest teacher and be willing to contemplate a stronger you.ou need to create the minimum amount of resistance as possible to enable success.
