MENTAL WELLNESS MANAGEMENT:
These are generalized tips and not meant as a corrective treatment or recommendations of any and all types of Mental Illness.
Meditate
Meditation does not mean emptying your mind of thoughts but rather allowing yourself to come to a space wherein the thoughts do not cause your brain to activate. There are many different forms of Meditative practices out there. Choose one that works for you. If you are new to Meditation, start by focusing on your breath everyday, begin with 1 min increments.
Acknowledge your feelings
Know that its Perfectly OKAY to be YOU. There are always techniques that you can adapt to help manage your Anxiety and Triggers however Adaptation to your feelings will not happen without acknowledgement. It all begins with Self-Awareness.
Stop comparing yourself to Others
Adapt the Mantra, “ There is No Other ME! “ There can be many like you but there is no other YOU on this planet at least and that is a scientific fact! Recognize that and honor it everyday.
Learn the Art of Connection without Attachment
As social beings we all crave connection but not allowing the connections to affect our emotions is under our control. Connect away but stir away from Attachments.
