Mental health is just as important for total health and well-being as physical and spiritual health is. It is part of the tripod that holds healthy humans up. Ignoring mental health issues can be just as devastating as ignoring appendicitis issues. Today we are well past the stigma of mental health labels.
Remember that help is always available. Always seek a mental health counselor if you feel you need someone to talk things over and work things out.
Still, there are self-help things that can help to calm and relax the mind. Do you feel immobilized by indecision?
Take a moment to think about and write down the issue. Next, write down all the positive possibilities, without restrictions, reasons, or excuses. Brainstorming allows us to think outside the box. A new perspective can bring in fresh ideas. There are always new ideas to be had.
Scent is a strong mental helper. Essential oils can invigorate or calm down, like lavender or citrus. Lighting scented candles can also help.
It is said that music soothes the savage breast. Are you upset? Switch on calming or upbeat music immediately changes the vibrational frequency in the room. For point of information, there are two variations of this phrase, music calms the savage beast and music tames the savage beast. This idiom is actually a misquote of a line from the play The Mourning Bride from the year 1697. The British poet William Congreve wrote this originally as music hath charms to sooth a savagebreast.
Does any of this change the situation you might be struggling with? No. But in the process of doing something different, other that repeating negative stories or life situations with a friend, you are changing the vibrational frequency from low to higher. When you do this, more possibilities arrive to the mind that otherwise first thought. New suggestions can arise when not suppressed by the ego, which sometimes wants to keep the status quo.
Do the next best thing you can do. Go for a walk. Stop the confusion. Make a decision for good health. Smile at others and watch them smile back. Do something out of the ordinary. It is possible to feel better.
Have a beautiful day!
Namaste
