Good Mental Health and Improving Our Mental Health

You need to care for yourself and deal with yourself. You shouldn't hate yourself, you should love yourself. You should pay attention to your body's health.

Good Mental Health and Improving Our Mental Health

you should eat healthily, sleep well, exercise, and enjoy life

You should feel valued for being yourself. You don't need to demonstrate your reality, you as of now exist.

You should judge yourself rationally. You shouldn't set impossible goals for yourself, such as 'I have to be great at everything I do', and you shouldn't punish yourself for not meeting them.

What is meant by good mental health?

Good mental health is more about what you do than what you have. To be mentally and spiritually healthy, you must value and accept yourself.

If you don't care and accept yourself, you are always afraid that others will reject you. You stay away from people so they don't realize how unacceptable you are, so you're always in fear and alone. If you value yourself, you don't think people will reject you. You are not afraid of other people. You become an open person and build healthy relationships with other people. If you value and accept yourself, you become a relaxed person and can enjoy life without guilt. When you are faced with a crisis, you understand it and you can handle it no matter how difficult the situation. The decisions we make depend on how we see ourselves.

People who value themselves and accept themselves can cope with life.

For what reason do certain individuals get discouraged while others don't?

We lose our mental health when we don't care about ourselves and don't value ourselves. This often stems from our childhood, thinking we are bad and unlovable (why did our parents treat us the way they treated us if we weren't bad). This makes it harder for us to overcome the challenges and disasters we face.

We all grow up with different thoughts about what we are in life, how our life is and what it will be, and what the world is like. These thoughts depend on our experiences in life, and because any two people's experiences are different, people perceive things differently. Our thoughts cannot be an indicator of what is happening around us, they can only be an indicator of what we think is happening around us or theories. If we grow up thinking the world is the place we assume it is, when we grow up to discover that the world is different than we thought, we will be disappointed and realize that we have made a big mistake in judgment.

When faced with an unexpected disaster, we realize the mistake we made about what we thought our life was and what it was. Maybe we thought, like many Americans, that our lives were safe when a terrorist attack happened. Maybe we thought we were going to spend the rest of our lives with one special person, and that person left us or passed away. Maybe we always thought that if we were good people nothing bad would happen to us, and something bad happened to us.

Every time we make an evaluation mistake, we begin to doubt everything we do, all the decisions we make. Then we start to be unsure of ourselves. We feel that we cannot bear it, that we are torn to pieces, that we will perish. If we accept ourselves and value ourselves, we know that even though we are afraid of what happened, it will pass and we can handle the problem and get over it. If we do not value ourselves and think positively, we will feel like a person close to ruin. We feel like a drop of water in the ocean that we are insignificant and that we will perish.

At times when we feel we are going to be ruined, we need a defense that will give us strength and hold us together. The worse we feel about ourselves, the more helpless our defenses will be.

These defenses

physically harming or starving ourselves

blaming ourselves for the disaster that has happened and thus becoming depressed

finding the cause of our fears around us and being afraid to step outside of it

go out and create jobs for ourselves

making everything safer by over-cleaning or checking

Being closed to our inner world and not perceiving the outside world as other people. We do not consciously choose these defense mechanisms. Unconsciously, we choose a defense mechanism that suits how we see ourselves and the world. For example, if you tend to blame yourself for everything that goes wrong, you will blame yourself for the disaster that has befallen you.

Will I inevitably lose my sanity?

Losing mental health is not a necessity. However, if we do not care about and value ourselves, we are assured that our mental health will be affected when we face life's challenges. If we are at peace with ourselves and feel positive about ourselves, we will not be depressed by the losses we have faced, we will only be sad. And when someone treats us badly, we just get angry instead of feeling guilty for being angry. In the face of any threat, instead of thinking that the event is beyond us, we are simply afraid because we know that we can protect ourselves and take care of ourselves.

Things that affect our mental health are neither loss, nor lack of money, nor illness, nor the way people treat us badly. What affects our mental health is how we interpret this loss, our lack of money, our illness, or the way people treat us badly.

Many people's defense mechanisms are to interpret events in a way that will least affect them. If we see ourselves as bad and unacceptable, and we live in a just world where good is rewarded and bad is punished, when we encounter a disaster, we interpret it as a punishment for our weaknesses. If we see ourselves as insignificant and worthless, we say to ourselves, 'I don't deserve to be happy in the face of the possibility of being happy. If we are afraid of others, we think we have no right to defend ourselves when they treat us badly. If we don't find ourselves worthy of love whenever we need the people around us, we bury our anger inside ourselves.
