How i keep my mental health in check
Mental health is one thing we need to take very seriously, it is only a sound mind that can be productive and hence we need to do away with things and avoid people that disturb our mental health....
Things that men worry about that cause mental issues are lack of money, bad relationships with loved ones/wives/ family members, and drugs. There are more but I am picking on these three and how I cope and not let them affect me negatively....
Money is significant to us, life is hell without it... Earning it is not as easy as spending it..
When I am about to take any big decision that requires money, I always put what if in my mind..
What if I lost my job today
What if crypto ceases to exist
What if this, what if that
This has helped me a lot, it makes me not lavish the money I earn knowing millions and billions can finish if not managed properly, it also put me on my toes not to rely on one source of income knowing I can lose it any time and most importantly it makes me pursue real estate business knowing that if everything crumbles today, what I have invested there will sustain me till my old age....
When there are no worries about what to eat, or what to wear, in short when there is money to do what you want and when you want it, you have blocked one path depression can use to enter your life because that is what makes most men look depressed nowadays...
It is not easy dealing with humans, this is why I love my space... But it is not possible not to interact with others, your neighbors, friends, colleagues at work, business partners, families, and strangers too, you can't really escape all of them except you lock yourself inside till eternity...
I just make sure to keep my feelings in check, I do not involve my heart when interacting with others because disappointment comes when you expect too much from others...
I don't overdo things that will make me regret, nor will I go the extra mile for people that won't cross a gutter for me, it is what they give they shall get...
My best way to keep myself sane is to ignore or avoid people that try to disturb my peace of mind and it has been working well for me...
The rate at which youth are now addicted to drugs is alarming, amidst the bad news we hear on a daily basis about a youth losing his life to drugs and some having damaged organs, most still did not relent in taking this harmful substance...
All for what? for the few hours it makes them feel great, is that worth losing their life over? Some say it gives them confidence, really? gives confidence and takes something bigger in return, your health!
This is one big factor that affects mental health and I made sure to stay far away from it, I don't smoke! and never will I... If I am sad, I will rather eat turkey than smoke cigarettes or Colorado...
I drink occasionally, like twice a month and sometimes not at all, this way i make sure not to get addicted to drugs and my sanity remains intact...
If you don't smoke, masturbate and drink ... do not start it now... you are among the few lucky ones....

Very nice publication @burlarj certainly when I don't want to think about the need to solve so many socioeconomic problems, meditation is my favorite shield, to be relaxed, I do it every morning and it has given me very good results. Logically, as we avoid so many problems, we must face them, meditation being my best shield. I make my mind blank, without thinking about problems, I pray a lot, I apply my favorite pose, the half lotus or Ardha Padmasana, to help meditate. Thank you for sharing meditation, as a magical formula for the tranquility of our body and mind. Yoga is my great weapon. Successes from Venezuela.
Thinking too much about a problem does not get it solved, it only make us lose our mind, good you found your peace in meditating
Meditation is an excellent process, to strengthen ourselves physically and mentally, it even helps us solve problems, because the solution is not to avoid them, it is to find a way to solve them. When we meditate we are filled with energy and courage to face them. Your publication is very important to so many people, who suffocate by not finding a way to solve so many discomforts that afflict them. Greetings from Venezuela, I reiterate, I looked for a solution for it daily for half an hour, meditate, gently exercise the body beforehand and then do some yoga postures. successes
This was a really nice post...
You really took out the prevalent issues and tackled it.
Well, I for one, don't even have strength for my needs talk more of raising a pin for someone who will disrupt my peace of mind 🤣
Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!
People really need to get their shits together and stop taking drugs.
Now I'm hearing on Colos on Colos everywhere... Small time, it's madness
Well, I for one, don't even have the strength for my needs talk more of raising a pin for someone who will disrupt my peace of mindLol, no point in being around people that make us lose our minds, they are slow poison and if we don't get rid of them fast, they might really kill us slowly.....
A student died of colorado last week, may his soul rest in peace, this news still won't make his friends stop taking it, they are already addicted
So sad... Addiction is really bad
Nice post.
These ways are totally helpful.
Stay away for stress, manage a peaceful relationship, and stay away from addictions.
Smoking can be addicted and it causes harm. I’ll agree with you on turkey. Please eat them well peppered.
lol, join me let us eat this turkey together😁
This is worth a thousand @burlarj . You made all points clear and truly lack of solid means of generating money can cause depression and also peace of mind is Paramount, and should not be joked with, I value my peace of mind like a jewel. Thanks for sharing.
yea, we are in a world that money rules and peace of mind crown the effort.. both are needed
Well said. Do have a pleasant evening.
Yeah! drugs should be a no go as it will only worsen if someone already has problems.
hopefully those addicted to it find a way out of it and those who has not started taking it not be influenced into it..
Kind of hard to withdraw when one started using it because they became dependent on it.
These things you listed are very important to human and at thesame time they have huge impact to the mental health because we always think about them
yea, and to stop thinking about them, we need to solve them
Challenges are ever set to push us to the wall to see what comes out of us. As humans we will never be able to totally avoid mental challenges yet we can develop strategies to manage and cope with them
Of a truth no matter how far we run, we will definitely get hurt, we will loose money, we may be forced problems to going into all kinds of stuffs but we can devised our ways to dodge some of these things... I love your strategies a lot, once we are able to put a what if when spending our resources we will be able to spend wisely and not that alone, our mind will also be prepared for losses a long the line as such we won't be taken unawares
People can be avoided on the other hand, though heart break is something all of us must face at one point or the other from people around us but we can still stay away from the unnecessary ones.. we sometimes invite heart breaks for ourselves by forcing ourselves on people we know are not supposed to be part of our lives..
I think that last line is the best for me.. if we are able to escape smoking , drinking and the rest for long, starting it now is going to be a great loss.. it's means we only wasted our time all this while. Whatever good thing we started, we should endeavor to take it to the end.
We all have to take this thing seriously when our mind is not working properly and problems are going on inside our mind then we will never succeed in doing any work first we need to fix our mind. I have to end the problems that are going on
