  • Making sure everyone benefits

    It is mostly financially and emotionally benefits from what they do. I guess this comes in terms of vulnerable people as we do not like taking advantage of people.

    There are rules in the government that we should follow like tax offsets or even investments. I think financial stress is the biggest cause for mental health and starting from vulnerable people is a good way to start. With so many tools online in how it  helps us or other people, we continue to have newer tools to make the world a better place with fewer conflicts everyday. Sure there will be new issues in our community or society everyday but my focus is more of a minimising financial stress  which makes our mental health decline. This decline is due to the food we eat or the lifestyle we have because of financial issues.

    But we should all work together for a better tomorrow, which I am trying to do my part. The better mental health, the better the innovation we get and also a safer society. We should strive for a decentralised society where money is still involved.

  • Trying to live a stress free lifestyle

    What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

    This is a concern to financial, emotionally or spiritually. When I have financial issues it is mostly in how I can maximise my profit or money but sometimes my emotions get the best in me because if it is too expensive then the other party may not buy. For financial concerns I put my money where it can grow instead of leaving it stagnant so I maximise my finances while maintaining my lifestyle. My lifestyle is pretty much minimal but when it comes to something that has the chance to go up in value I will probably buy, that is if I do not need the money.

    Emotionally and spiritually I tend to reflect on my actions and how I could make it better. This comes in terms of socialising in making the other party themselves feel better. When they feel better I internally feel good, with a spike of stimulation I get knowing I helped one person without having their resources taken away.

    But what is better is living positive spiritually, is having a calm state of mind which is luxury in my case.

  • Going outside your comfort zone

    I feel like whenever I put myself in dangerous situations, the smaller things in life do not phase me. Maybe whether it is a money situation or places where it is unstable. I’m not sure…

    I think it tends to be your personality, if you have an unthreatening self like a giving  soul which is based on the body language you give off then you will be spared. But I guess you could be taken advantage of, so what I think is mostly base your intentions internally instead of externally where people can read your intentions. It is hard but it can be learnt. As well as that you must have a principal you go by so you will minimise the external factors that happen around you so to save yourself some stress and time.

    This could include following the rules or doing something that is morally right.

    But going outside your comfort zone like taking a cold shower or just experiencing the good and bad makes you a more rounded person in society and you have more stories/knowledge to tell to pass on the message, even if one person is inspired.

  • Using our time

    We spend of of our time trying to make money. What if… We use our time to make money and be of a service to someone to make them feel good. Somehow when you are in an industry when someone gives you a tip for a good service. Maybe we gave them good service emotionally.

    Our minds are important in order to feel good about ourselves at the moment. Whether we action ourselves or maybe it is our energy, our presence that gives off the vibe.

    Talking to people just like caring… Is not expensive or.. it is you cannot buy with it because it is intangible. But there are a lot of coaches and online gurus that probably forged themselves into making a person emotionally well and financially by giving them pointers we cannot express in words.

    But anyways a lot of things in our society involve giving and receiving even in relationships.

  • Personalities of people with mental health

    I mean everybody is different. I do think people who get labelled with doctors diagnosis like bipolar or depression for example do not like being labelled as such because it ruins the perspective of themselves.

    Even when I was labelled as having psychosis I thought I was a crazy person because of the words embedded on me.

    I think the medical practice should treat everyone as people with feelings without giving them the labels. It is a bit complicated but what I have found is treating everyone as if they were your friends. I know you have to be professional at times but vulnerability is important so people will let their guard down free to express their feelings without any problems.

    In this society we are caught up with everyone just trying to look after themselves without the vulnerability, it just makes us even more depressed as if we are robots without complex feelings.

  • Don’t think about money too much

    We all need money in society to look after ourselves to buy food or to fund our hobbies. But when we think about money this or money that, our mental state tends to get affected. Maybe this is due to the overworking of our minds…

    But of course it is easy to say money doesn’t buy happiness but in some way it does because you have firepower to do something you want.

    Even if you do not earn a lot of money like the national wage, there is always something to make your money work for you. One thing I do is I allocate some money into a stable investment which will grow overtime. I use an app called Raiz.

    So when you are off working and needing some money, there are always opportunities to experiment and gain some knowledge in order to make the money work for you thus more wealth for you guys.

    When it comes to a support role you have to be passionate about the job or else it will eat you up if you are constantly thinking about the wage you get instead of living in the moment to support the other party which is handed to you for the role.

  • Overworking/productivity…

    Sometimes it is good to overwork because that means you get more money. But there is a downside to it. We all need rest since it helps us recharge for next time we finish the task again.

    We shouldn’t be doing the same task over and over again because thats what will get us left behind in society. If we do the same task over and over again we stop learning new things and our brains will not function properly in learning new things.

    We should always be adapting, learning and experimenting because that is how we advance as a new species. Now that we have the internet and artificial intelligence, we have more productivity in growing our brand or making money more efficiently, if we go on our own instead of working for a paycheck. The sky is the limit when you grow your brand or business, it could snowball into other small businesses doing a similar thing to you to make it better and take your income away (If that is your thing to make the community a better place).

    But at times like this we should try and not overwork ourselves to absorb as much information as possible and do it in small increments to avoid a mental health history.

  • Do what you love

    When I feel like I have a hang of things, I tend to get bored of it. But when I find meaning in them, I tend to be a bit motivated.

    My blogs are about spreading mental health and social awareness out there online even offline in due time to send them here. We people are meant to have a community where we can chit chat or talk about our problems.

    What I love about this is, I am free to talk about anything that is self improvement related or just talking about my thoughts.

    If we do something we love them our body and mind will not be impacted thus, us not growing up so fast into the old age. We must keep our bodies moving so we still have our bodies fresh to look and feel youthful. I said in my previous blogs that we should always be doing something or else we fall into a deep depression or anxiety. Even if we get help from the public about those, it can only do so much because it starts with yourself.

    So what I think is that we should be giving and supporting our favourite communities in order to have a peace of mind. This giving should be mostly about what I can also get out of it as well in the near future as getting something in return.

    Presently everybody needs to pay their bills so presently we should be giving in our earlier years so we can have a better future not for ourselves, but everyone around the seller or community around us.

  • Touching nature…

    I feel like when I am touching something that is natural it makes me feel good for some reason.

    Natural includes: Water, plants, and dirt.

    When I do a job or service that includes those above, my mental state reveres back to normal or a feeling that I accomplished something. It probably goes back to our early ages of always being around with nature, instead of being surrounded by carpet or plain walls. It is something that makes my mental state feel good at the moment.

    I think if we touch something that is tangible but is living, we tend to feel good. This goes with dogs and cats, our minds always need that natural stimulation. If I am in a more suburban area like in the city, the vibe is totally different.

    What I think for our mental health is to play with grass a bit more. It does sound rude but… If we play with grass or greens a bit more then our mental state will be geared towards a positive state.

  • Socialising…

    Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

    What I have found after being discharged from the mental hospital, I found more clarity in life. In the public system, it can get chaotic at times. After the first admission I started feeling worse than before I came in for some reason. Maybe it could be the environment I was locked in the first time.

    But nonetheless, interacting with people whether it is presence or talking, I like to feel the personality of each one because it usually makes me think afterwards about myself as well. Sometimes people say things about you directly you never knew you had and it makes you wonder what it meant.

    When I was a child I used to play with random people or with my family members.

    But now… I find joy in collecting things just for the aesthetics, but it is a plus when it goes up in value. It is just a personal collection I like to play or buy with so my room has that positive feeling when I have that item. It sure does feel like I am hoarding but… I am not so sure.

    But when it comes to interacting with people, I mostly have a giving mentality which is emotional for some reason.
