Mental balance is not easy. Your mind controls thinking, influencing (sometimes destructively) what you say or feel. You have to insure yourself by conducting a constant internal dialogue with your mind. And it makes you only hear what you want to hear, which is sometimes useful for concentration, but does not always guarantee that bad things will not come back again. The mind controls many things, and although it appears to be immaterial, it is quite real. And it affects every judgment - it will be what your thoughts are. Finding mental balance is as difficult and dangerous as trying to find a needle in a haystack. You do not know which edge to approach, and how to protect yourself from a prick in the arm. Threats resemble the thorns of a beautiful rose, as beautiful as it is dangerous.
Steps
Step 1. Find yourself
This is difficult to do when different opportunities to relax and calm the mind are tempted from all sides. Work is stressful, and it can strain you mentally to find ways to accomplish tasks and goals for the coming weeks or even years. Usually time is the most annoying thing, although there are also many little things to remember that cannot be forgotten. Sometimes you want to escape from this, that is, life is perceived as a disaster.
Step 2. Take some time to rest
Usually the best solution is to take a week off or at least a day off to unwind with a variety of spa treatments with gourmet delicacies on hand. Do your best to relax your mind, listen to your favorite music, or visit your family. The output should be used in order to balance the operating voltage with something good. For a better future, find an opportunity to spend one day in the world without worrying about the next work assignment ahead. To relieve tension, you should clear your mind of the slightest thoughts about work. The only thing to strive for is a sense of peace.
Step 3. Get an overall assessment of your state of mind
tranquility and feelings. Serenity is the calmness of the ocean, the combination of the sun and the moon to create everything, thanks to which we see clouds and limitless gradations of colors that are used to color the world we see. The mental world is the sensory rhythm inside the heart while listening to music; it is a complex combination that can change us (in this case, favorite music can cause relaxation). In this state, after a while we find ourselves alone, thinking how we got here, and what could change our life so dramatically. At any age, we keep in ourselves a small part of the child who lives in the heart. But over the years and experience, we are increasingly losing the former childish gullibility. Stress is the pressure of the environment in which we grow up, and mental stress is the impact on our feelings. To regain peace, you need to prepare. Have a cup of coffee, relax and let your mind go into the realm of fantasy. Remember, what we feel and what we doubt is fluid, but that is a topic for another discussion.
Step 4. Try not to stress money and time
We worry about time and worry about a thousand little things, letting idealism run wild. That which lays a mark on the mind is in the heart, and the mind is just a slight weakness necessary to work. Do you find it difficult to find time between work? Much depends on the company and position (number of hours worked, pay, conditions, etc.), and we are used to the fact that time is money. The constant need to pay rent, buy food, and provide for basic necessities is stressful for many. The desire to impress others also adds to the anxiety. Try to take it lightly. Don't worry, problems may still find you, but you are able to overcome them. You can survive at school, at work, and in life in general.
Step 5. Relieve stress
Do what you love. In a stressful state, you are constantly worried about work and tomorrow, and your blood pressure rises, which cannot but affect your physical health, as well as your mental and emotional state. Also, in addition to work, you need to worry about social life. Consoling emotions with the help of friends will not affect mental stress. Moreover, it can further worsen the situation. Try to find a hobby that you have a real passion for. Remember to take small steps. Hobbies help, but this is not an instant transformation after the Apocalypse.
Step 6. Plans
tear and discard. This day or week is completely yours. Do not hurry. It's a hackneyed phrase, but patience is the cure for stress. Lack of mental calmness is chagrin and even destruction. And this state is not only caused by stress. Anxiety of thoughts arises not only due to external circumstances, internal imbalance and doubts also add fuel to the fire. If you start planning something, you can create even more stress by jinxing yourself. Therefore, now it is better to discard all plans and take care of only yourself. You just need to love yourself more. It seems selfish, but this is where you need to start. It is necessary to accept that the world around is not perfect, and even love is not perfect. Perfection is only an image behind which reality is hidden. Perfection is a myth, and the state of each person is already perfection in itself. We just don't see it behind a lot of masks. The place of our life is a world filled with the struggle of hatred and love, life and death, beginning and end. In old age and in youth, one must see countless shades of gray between black and white. War and Peace. What is war if there is no peace? Our mind is in a state of constant war of thoughts and emotions that enter our heart and evoke feelings. The mental world is what we accept in our life. It may not always be good to accept certain things, but any choice will have consequences that we may not even be aware of.
Advice
- Everyone calms down in their own way, but it is very effective to lie down and relax. You can take a nap or listen to soft music to calm your thoughts.
- If you are concerned about school, doing assignments or homework is your responsibility. Teachers usually (but not always) expect you to be mature. They want to see progress, they want to make sure you did everything in your power, and not lazy because the task seemed boring. In any case, you can ask for help after class. Perhaps the teacher can provide good advice or hints for completing tomorrow's homework.
- Don't worry, no one is pushing you. The human mind contains many pleasant surprises that are interesting to discover.
- Live in the present, allow yourself to feel free.
Warnings
- Be careful when walking on thin ice. Remember to take responsibility for your choices and do not forget about your work.
- Each person is different, and you should not act like someone else. Be yourself, whoever you are. Don't pay too much attention to what other people are saying, but if it's work-related, make your actions as professional as possible.
- Be bold and don't let your feelings drive your thinking.
