What Are You Feeding Your Mind With?
Hi guys!
Happy Easter everyone. May it bring renewal in our lives, and hope for us all.
Last week we talked about the importance of holistic health – an approach and mentality to health that caters for all forms of health, including mental health.
In today’s episode of #MentalMondays, I want us to take that up again, by asking ourselves the question :- how am I taking care of my mental wellbeing? One important aspect here is the traffic in our brains. See, the saying ‘garbage in, garbage out’ sadly puts it across vey well. So today let’s address what we allow inside ourselves, and what comes out of that, and the consequences of the things we allow into our minds.
Just as the body reacts to a poor diet, so too does the mind react to a poor feed. Oftentimes the depression, feeling of sadness, anger, anxiety, that we often go through, are a result of what we probably feed our minds. Feed yourself with negativity, drama, pessimism, bad news, worry, and that is exactly what you’ll show forth. This is the mind telling you that it’s malnourished, and unless we tend to that, we’ll constantly have to deal and cope and shoulder and go through. All the time. Don’t you find that tiring?
Think, on the other hand, of what would happen if we smiled, embraced peace, calmness, hope, positivity, serenity… Imagine the tremendous amount of good that will do to you! The only way we can create and attract ‘good vibes’ is if we think them into being. Learn to create your own positive aura; that will be your strength through all the dark days.
So, think good, think peace, think positive – and nourish and feed yourself well mentally. Read good books, the kind that lighten, not increase, the load within you. Listen to music, partake in good conversations, uplifting talks, humour. Laugh a lot, and ask me if that won’t be Nature’s free remedies (more of those next Monday).
Feed your mind with good things, my friends, because #mentalhealthmatters❤️🧠
