  • Mental health/illness cannot be cured

    I have been thinking… Maybe it is when people with mental illness cannot be cured themselves but it is part of their personality.

    Not everyone is bothered to complete a specific task. We can only encourage them to do a task. Maybe that is why there are support workers, to help them with what they are lacking.

    When they don’t shower or clean themselves, we can only encourage them. When they are on medications it does make it worse because they have side effects.

    Mostly all we can do is try to support them and slowly they will do their own self care. We also need to use our own input in a softer way as everyone is sensitive how we talk to them in a tone matter.

    Careful how we say things

  • Different environment, different emotions

    When I go to different places, it is a vibe I get. Sometimes it is more relaxing and sometimes it is not. Maybe when we are in congested areas we feel it is more stressful, while the opposite is more relaxed and chill.

    If we hang around a more stressful area, we tend to get more stressed or we somehow get this migraine in our head. While we see greens when we go to the environment our mind stays peaceful.

    I think our human mind finds nature like trees or grass peaceful and relaxing for us. If we are in the city where there is a lack of trees our minds tend to race.

    Even with how the environment is portrayed our emotions react to the environment around us.

    I think we humans are naturally adaptive whether it goes positively or negatively.

    The world that we live in that is natural is always best

  • Personality traits in mental health

    I think in mental health, or if you are out into the mental health system the people that act the way they are that are not in societal standards we get labelled as having something wrong.

    What if it is part of our personality? And how we are shaped by our environment. Sure the community needs to be safe but putting on people on medications does not help as a lot of people complain about them.

    I think when we ask for help then being put on these medications, it just makes us worse as an individual creating a non-safer community in our society and not innovating ourselves. We should learn to think for ourselves before taking these artificial stimuli.

    If professionals have taken these drugs we would listen to them but they are just learning from the books mostly without having actual experiences about them.

    We all have personalities that define ourselves and it cannot be solved with chemicals.

    But who knows? These drugs could be karma related drugs.

    We are Complex Beings

  • Adapting

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    While I had an almost comfortable living, I tried to make myself uncomfortable by taking cold showers and learning as much as I can in my early 20s because your 20s are still young. Cold showers have health benefits. The main thing about cold showers is learning to be comfortable by being uncomfortable is what trains you as well.

    There are about 40 more years to live freely at this stage, could increase as innovation makes place depending on how fast it takes place.

    So that is why I am buying and collecting anything copper as it is a technology innovation tool. The better mental health we have the more technical advances we make. Right now in this day and age, we are relying on technology year by year.

    I think what is best for mental health is using technology as a way to further your well being and also for convenience.

    I think what sacrifices you make most of the time is how you learn and adapt to the situation because everyone is different.

    Looking for ways to be outside of the box

  • Better mental health better the innovation

    I think if we are both emotionally and physically healthy, we tend to think with more purpose with the way society is moving. So what I think is… Right now we are living in an age with the internet combined with no internet. But I would say we are moving with technology.

    When we have better mental health our minds have more space to think of other ideas to improve their well being with the use of technology. In other words “making us feel better”.

    Technology does have an effect on our mental health but when we are exposed to high dopamine sources we tend to feel depressed or we get anxious.

    We should start to use technology as a tool to educate or give our knowledge in whatever platform we are on or using it to gather your research of your interest instead of mindless scrolling.

  • Supporting simple businesses

    What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

    For some reason I like to wear generic clothes that look like I have no personality, just random full colours of clothing.

    I like to think, I am supporting small family run clothing businesses or I do shop at the flea markets for second hand clothes. It makes me feel good that I am supporting another person just trying to sell their used clothes.

    I don’t shop a lot but I shop for things I actually need. Who knows… Maybe I will buy clothes from the flea markets and just donate my clothes to the clothing charity box.

    I will wear them a couple of times then just probably just put it aside and donate it.

    Clothing is a human need of our society as it keeps us warm and at least some fashion taste on the outside.

    If the clothes ain’t broken, then it could be used again or resold.

    Generic clothing is my favourite

  • Fear makes us physically sick

    I have been sick my whole life. Not the emotionally sick but the physically sick. I don’t feel like there are any symptoms, it is a bit complicated.

    I think if you have a lot of fear and anxiety and you are trying to suppress it, you blow your nose pretty often. It does look like you have something wrong to the other person but to yourself… There is nothing wrong.

    I feel like when you hold back your fears and anxiety you tend to show some symptoms of sickness but you are not sick at the same time…

    But I guess if you have a healthy mind you get a healthy body…

    Balance… So your whole body functions

  • Finding Peace…

    When I do something I love, I tend to find peace in what I do. Why? Because I am passionate about it.

    When you are passionate about doing something it gives you a sense of euphoria you cannot describe. It is like you are walking with purpose. This may include just writing blogs or making money solving a problem in the community or maybe just having fun in general.

    We all have a role to play in society. Don’t think that you are useless just because someone said so…

    If you have work that you are passionate about, you shouldn’t be useless but useful because you are inspiring someone else to be better than the day before. Of course we need a job to pay our bills so we can support ourselves.

    But if you want a different route then try to solve a problem then eventually you will make money from what you are passionate about.

  • Learning from each other

    Are you a leader or a follower?

    Knowledge is power but you have to think about how sometimes knowledge can be priceless whether it is from random encounters.

    Everyone has the right to be a leader or follower, it is what makes us have a purpose in life. But I like to be in between a leader and follower because it opens my mind to a variety of perspectives. Noted how I said there is one world in a person. There is a lot to learn about from someone because it is how it shaped them.

    No matter if you are successful or not, it is always helpful to lend a helping hand to someone emotionally as it could offer them a new perspective or knowledge in life.

    In between two worlds

  • Giving… Without expecting something in return

    Somehow… I give unconsciously, emotionally. When I give my meaning and advice I do not expect something in return but somehow… I get care from people.

    Maybe it is because I try to improve myself emotionally everyday even the little things. There is no path to improve it but probably by my actions that feel genuine. Who knows?? Maybe I am delusional… But somehow it is like a gut feeling.

    It is hard to pinpoint but what is best is to do your best to serve others, even without expecting anything in return.

    We all know life is unpredictable sometimes. So we can give whether it is physical goods or emotionally, always stay true to yourself.

    Giving without giving…
