We often throw substantial amount of investments to insurance policy & networking for easy money – these doesn’t Include other costs in which I don’t want to mention anymore.  I agree with the first one, as this  is non-negotiable for me. I know not everyone have the luxury of getting covered but I’m speaking to perhaps, Millennial’s who assumes getting both would immune them to Mental Health Problems. Life is easy back then (just my thought) the only challenges back in the days (when) people’s priorities are only narrowed to shelter, food & education.

But how about our Mental Health?

• Do we engage more on malicious talk? Our environment is already stressful. I believe, keeping a good company will make a difference. I have only a handful of close friends, although I socialize well and have many friendly acquaintances. PLUS, I keep my distance to gossipers. Surround yourself with people who give you opportunities to grow.
• What do you do on your Idle times? Do you still dwell on the things you can’t control? Or still envious of the things our neighbours or friends has? Sometimes we spent so much time on other’s business that we habitually neglect to improve ourselves. This is mostly known as Crab Mentality to Filipinos.
• Media – It can be exaggerating and way too pretentious. Follow the Select and Omit Mantra. Don’t want to elaborate on this, but normally I hide those people who flood my feeds. LOL
• Family as priority. You can’t pick them but you are lucky to have them. I believe knowing your kin more are less prone to anxiety, agitation & depression.
• The Act of Mindfulness. It is opening attention to PRESENT. A simple layman’s term is you carefully look at your thinking (literally) without judgement. Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.
• Minimalist, I usually do a spring clean regardless if it’s some clothes, home decor or can be anything that I don’t usually need anymore. Sharing can double the happiness (wink)

I’m not a life coach, neither all my points can be agreed by many. It’s just that I’ve learned how to bounce back stronger. I’m more rational and understands self-awareness now compared to a naive me, 10 years back.
