6 best mental health advice I was ever given

Someone — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:22:57 +0000

If it still bothers you after 24 hours, speak up within 48 hours. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for taking care of. A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life. The critical judge in your head does not tell the truth, and it does not have your best interest at heart. Your brain[...]

Hillbilly Wisdom

Someone — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 16:10:07 +0000

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled. The best sermons are lived, not preached. If[...]

Learn to open up and lean on people.

Someone — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 12:00:21 +0000

Many of us are scared of being vulnerable and authentic — of being seen for who we really are, weaknesses and all. It’s okay to be seen without all the pretences; without all your social masks. By opening up and being your true self, and asking for help when you need it, you automatically give[...]

Fun is underrated

Someone — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:00:59 +0000

How much of your day is fun? Really fun? Life is short. You should enjoy it. Don’t make things serious that don’t have to be. Create more fun in your life. Don’t worry about what other people think of your fun. Just enjoy it.

Focus on what you can control

Someone — Sat, 05 May 2018 00:38:59 +0000

You’ll be happier if you focus on efforts and attention only on the things you can control. Each of us has a large number of things about which we’re concerned: our health, our family, our friends, our jobs; world affairs, the plight of the poor, the threat of terrorism, the current political climate. Within that[...]

Action cures fear

Someone — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 00:38:59 +0000

Action cures fear. Thought creates fear; action cures it. What we’re actually afraid of is the unknown. We like certainty, and choosing to do something with an uncertain outcome makes us nervous. Taking the first step can be scary, but each additional step becomes easier and easier. When you act, you remove the mystery. Action[...]

Don’t let fear guide your decision-making process

Someone — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 00:38:59 +0000

Don’t let fear guide your decision-making process. A friend once told me this , and it echoes something my accountant once told me. He says that too many people make money moves based solely on the tax repercussions. “That’s dumb,” he told me. “You should do what you want because you want to, not because[...]

You can’t prevent every possible thing from going wrong

Someone — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

You can’t prevent every possible thing from going wrong. Don’t even try. Instead, learn to deal effectively with minor problems. You’ll build self-confidence, which will lead to an increased willingness to take calculated risks. (Similarly, you can’t make everyone like you. It’s foolish to try.)

Be present in the moment

Someone — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

Be present in the moment. Accept life for what it is, without labels or judgment. Yield to events; don’t block them. Go with the flow. Nothing exists outside the present moment: Don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. Improve the quality of the here and now. When you do something, do that[...]
