Letting go
by Heera72
Last post
 15 hours ago
...See more We need to learn how to let go and detach ourselves from someone. Detaching emotionally from someone can be a challenging yet transformative process, essential for reclaiming our peace and personal well-being. Whether it's due to a toxic relationship, unrequited feelings, or the end of a meaningful bond, learning how to let go allows us to focus on healing, growth, and rediscovering our sense of self. By understanding the importance of boundaries, self-care, and acceptance, we can move forward with strength and resilience, which can help us let go. Sometimes, we should let go and detach ourselves from people and things that are not good for our mental health. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/how-to-emotionally-detach-from-someone/

...See more  In this generation, where everything is about social media and has become public, the younger generation especially has shaped their thoughts of body image based on societal influences. Such societal influences are primarily unrealistic and have influenced people to have standard looks rather than emphasizing on accepting themselves for how they are, has led to some people suffering from eating disorders.  It is important to love ourselves for who we are, even with our flaws, and accept our bodies without needing to look like everyone or have the standards of beauty portrayed. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/thinspo-and-its-effect-on-mental-health/

Overcoming Laziness
by Heera72
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Sometimes, our perfectionism might lead us to become lazy and procrastinate. Overcoming laziness or procrastination can be challenging, but we can control our time and energy with the right strategies. The first step is to understand its root cause and reflect on why we procrastinate—it can be because of fear of failure, perfectionism, lack of clarity, or feeling overwhelmed. Setting clear goals by breaking them down into smaller steps, setting deadlines, using time management techniques, creating a productive environment by eliminating distractions or using tools, starting small and celebrating small wins, staying accountable, developing habits over time, addressing negative thoughts, and seeking help when needed can help us overcome laziness and procrastination. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/effective-tips-on-how-to-overcome-laziness/

 Saturday
...See more @MusicCandy Hi! I decided it was easier to just start a new thread. I can't figure out the old one. I am headed to my mom's tomorrow until Sunday night. Today is the fifth anniversary of dad's death. I couldn't get up there today, so it's the first time I won't be with her on the actual day. I won't be on here this weekend, so I'm writing this on Wednesday. Yesterday I made my first trip to the mountains in a long time. I hiked to Mary's Rock. It was not crowded and was great weather. It was kind of funny hiking in a t-shirt with snow on the ground! Today we are celebrating my DIL's birthday. The actual day is Saturday but I'll be at mom's. I am going to make the Korean dessert that I made for New Year's, since their dog ate all the leftovers and she didn't get to try much of it. Then I have some cleaning to do, and some errands to run, and then pick her up 45 min away because my son is here at work near our house. I'm going early enough to drop by my other son's house first to meet his new dog. He and his fiancee are adopting a 2 year old. I need to do laundry to prepare for my trip, and need to write detailed instructions for my pet sitters. I have an old note to work from, but I have a new lady coming one day and I need to make it extra-detailed for her. She is a pet sitting company, so it will cost me, but I need another person in my rotation of feeders. So it's a busy day today! I am grateful for my spring break this week that allows me to do all these things. I spent the weekend doing very little because I knew the rest of the week would be very busy! I don't like getting home the evening before I have to go back to work, since I won't get laundry, shopping, or cooking done, but it couldn't be helped! I hope the new thread works out, and that I tagged you correctly so you will see it! I hope your week has gone well, and here's to five more years of messages to come!

The habit of Journaling
by Heera72
Last post
 Friday
...See more Journaling has become the most practiced habit nowadays. Anyone can wonder why journaling has been brought up while speaking of mental health, but the act of journaling is more significant than it seems. It clarifies our thoughts, improves the quality of our creative writing, and unburdens us from the things that weigh our minds. Journaling can provide us with peace of mind and help us have better mental health. Many practices, along with journaling, have been proven to give better clarity and stop overthinking. Journaling doesn't require much effort other than our time, a notebook to write in, and our intent to do so. Journaling doesn't have to be complicated; it can be simple- writing our thoughts, whatever is in our mind. Though it might not work for everyone ( it has worked for me), it can be beneficial and is a great practice to incorporate into our lives. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/self-love-journal-prompts/

Comparison
by Heera72
Last post
 Wednesday
...See more While comparing ourselves to others is a natural human tendency, we should not compare ourselves to others as it can harm our mental health. One of the biggest problems we have today is always trying to look at the lives of others and thinking that we are not enough or that we are not doing enough. This thing of comparing ourselves with others can be very toxic to our mental health. It is essential to love and accept ourselves for how we are. And it is important to know that everyone's life is different, and we can't try to live the lives of others by trying to be like them. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should try comparing ourselves to our past selves, which can help us improve and enhance our personal growth.  https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/effective-tips-on-how-to-stop-comparing-yourself-to-others/
