It was World Mental Health Day on Saturday - I thought I'd share 90 ways to improve your emotional health.
- Relax.
- Trust the moment - stop projecting forward what may happen focus on what is happening.
- Reserve judgement - if something is happening - you may not know if this is good or bad yet - you may not know for a while.
- It's ok to be wrong.
- It's ok to fail.
- Bury the hatchet.
- Let go of yesterday.
- Let go of what just happened.
- Forgive - people do bad things because they are afraid / insecure / ignorant - we all do bad things from time to time.
- Be tolerant - if they get your meal wrong, be tolerant, it's ok.
- Take time out for yourself.
- Rest.
- Stop giving yourself a hard time.
- Stop comparing.
- You're good enough as you are.
- Be careful about the expectations you hold of others - disappointment is always preceded by an unmet expectation.
- Listen more, talk less.
- Live and let live.
- One day at a time.
- Let bygones by bygones.
- Let go wanting to ‘get even’.
- Practice discernment rather than judgmentalism.
- Stop needing to be morally superior.
- Stop seeking everyone's approval and validation.
- Stop trying to control everyone.
- Let people be as they are.
- Be modest with opinions.
- Stop needing to be right.
- Stop needing to be perfect.
- Be gracious and considerate.
- It is okay to be wrong or undecided.
- It isn’t necessary to have an opinion on everything.
- Laugh or find something to laugh at.
- Be grateful for your personal assets.
- Let others win.
- The innocent child is present in everyone.
- Be responsible - for choices, behaviours, feelings, and life circumstances.
- Seek to understand others rather than change them.
- Focus on being of service.
- It’s okay to have faults.
- It's ok not to be ok.
- Avoid struggle for the moral high ground.
- Concede to ‘what is’ versus ‘what ought to be’.
- Notice what you are clinging to (things, people, relationships, jobs, safety).
- Stop pretending to be someone you think everyone else wants you to be.
- Stop telling other people what they should think/do.
- Stop being superior.
- If you feel inferior - get some support.
- Talk to someone who can accept you as you are.
- Differentiate wants from needs (we actually need very little!).
- Walk / run / excercise.
- Be responsible with your eating habits.
- Stop trying to save the world.
- Stop trying to save other people.
- Let people fail where needed.
- Listen to your children - stop what you are doing and listen to them.
- Be kind to yourself.
- Forgive yourself.
- Mind your own business.
- Talk it over with a friend.
- Stop lying.
- Read the big book of AA.
- Accept ‘worst-case scenario’.
- Things could be worse.
- Money does not = happiness.
- Drink less tea and coffee.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Can't sleep? Let go of what you cannot control.
- You cannot control life, the world, other people - surrender control - stop trying - accept it.
- Quit when you are ahead.
- Stop trying to win at others expense.
- Give.
- Be careful what you watch / listen to.
- Find something bigger than yourself to believe in.
- Ask for help.
- Read "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse" by Charlie Macksey.
- Be careful what you wish for - ie stop living in the future, accept today first.
- If you can't be happy with what you have will you be happy with what you want?
- You are good enough.
- You can't give what you don't have - you come first.
- It's ok for others to disagree with you.
- It's ok for others to have a different opinion.
- Others get to have different values than you.
- Others get to make their own choices, however much we may dislike it or it inconveniences us.
- We are not entitled to anything.
- Other people will do things we don't like - we will do things others don't like.
- Not everyone will like us and that's ok.
- We won't like everyone and that's ok.
- If someone is rude to you - it isn't about you.
- Surrender, completely, to this very moment, accept it, without reservation.
