Our Mental Health

Is It Good For Our Mental Health?

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
The past, the future, today

“Happiness comes

when we stop complaining about the troubles we have

and offer thanks for all the troubles we don’t have”

We want to do things

that Strengthens our Mental Health

and being Grateful

for all the Good in our Lives

will Help us to do this.

When we find ourselves

becoming depressed

because we’re complaining about our troubles or problems,

we need to ‘shift’ our Minds

into that Positive gear

and Focus

on the Happy things

that “are” in our Lives Today.

We need to make

that conscious effort

to Think Grateful Thoughts

and to “see” the Joy

that is in our Lives Now.

There is Good in every ‘situation’,

we just have to find it.

When we do this,

our problems seem very small

and, sometimes,

not even worth thinking about.

We want Peace and Joy in our Lives,

and by being truly Appreciative

of the Positive ‘situations’

and the Nice people

that we have in our Lives Today,

we are ‘building up’

that Positive Treasure

which is filling our Minds

and which is

so Good for our Mental Health.

Treasure Life and our Loved ones Today.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
