  • 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.

  • Words can manifest

    Whether you say anything negative or positive about yourself and to the world. The words you use towards yourself can actually happen to yourself.

    So if you say that I am a failure to yourself, then the universe will think that you are a failure. It will happen if you constantly think about yourself unless you don’t.

    Even if you think things will not get better, do some actions that will help you achieve your goals, and there are some free services that will help you achieve your goals, not only you… But the goals you are surrounding yourself in.

    The universe has a thing for everyone that uses their words that put themselves down.

  • Finding connections in books

    List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

    When I was done in the dumps, when my mind was not in the right place years ago through overworking.

    I took some books in the mental hospital to pass some time. One of the books I read was Think Rich Grow Rich.

    The book talks about how we should think emotionally or do an action into how we should live a healthier life through our lifestyle. It also taught me I need to solve a problem in return which would be satisfying to the soul as well.

    One problem to be solved after many admissions is our mental health system in Australia and maybe across the world needs more work because mental health is at its infantry. Well unconsciously… I am sure it happened a while ago but we are just talking about it now.

    I also read Life’s greatest question by Tom Rath and Rich Dad Poor Dad which also helped me financially and emotionally.

    I do think any books you read have an impact on your mental health whether positively or negatively depending on what you absorb.

  • 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.

  • Talking with purpose…

    Somehow when you talk about something directly, just directly with different people, you tend to have less stress. It is hard to describe but this is what I have been practicing.

    It is more about being true to yourself instead of talking about nonsense. If I do talk about a lot of jibber jabber, my mind tends to get a bit messed up like messy in the mind which is not good for mental clarity.

    So I have been practicing talking with purpose as in what matters in the community or society instead of small talk. I tend to find small talk a bit boring and find what problems we can solve in the community more interesting as it keeps me thinking which also makes me mentally sharper as I think how to make the community a better place.

  • 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.

  • Invest in something you are passionate about…

    Time is finite in this society. We should be using our time to service people or to make our society a better place.

    This includes cleaning up our community or giving our knowledge for our time. However I like to give out knowledge for free because what we say has no price tag on it because I believe knowledge is free. But whenever I give someone or I give someone my time, then compensation is required. I tend to use the money given towards me to create a better society whether I am buying personal goods or supporting another project for my own sake to make even more money.

    Right now since 1970, money is inflated ever since because money is taken off the gold standard thereby money is printed, so basically it is infinite.

    I mostly use money to fund projects that the world is going to or fund my hobbies for nostalgic purposes. But I believe we should recycle whatever we can with the resources available in the community to create a better mental health environment.
