Calming Your Mind Will Do You Good, Vol. 473, October 25, 1018
The National Institutes of Health have determined that 51% of the population of the United States will experience some sort of mental illness. Because of the stigma of mental illness, many will never seek the help they need to treat it. WIth many of these illnesses, the lack of attention can cause decompensation, taking away a person’s ability to live life normally.
The most important thing that you can do for yourself is to educate yourself about the mental illness you are experiencing. Get appropriate treatment to stop the escalation into deeper illness. The symptoms can be stopped, getting you back to living your life.
Most of all, beware of isolating yourself because that could put you into a situation where the symptoms can become worse.
Describe the feelings that you feel, instead of saying you are depressed, or anxious. as an example. These words that you use repeatedly go straight into your subconscious mind. Know that the feelings will pass. Concentrate on activities that can calm your mind. Here are a few ideas to help you calm your mind:
- Deep belly breathing, inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 4 counts, releasing for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts. If you do this a few times the oxygenation of the brain will naturally calm you down.
- Self-hypnosis or meditation will both allow you to calm yourself down in very short order.
- Listen to some calming yet happy music.
- Watch a comedy.
- Call a friend that has a calming energy.
- Read a book that is engaging to you.
- Take a warm bath.
- Take a walk.
9. Stay away from any and all substances – legal and illegal, especially depressives such as alcohol.
It is also very important to eat a good nutritious diet that includes the amino acids (which make up protein) that help develop healthy neurotransmitters.
Generally, if one is able to acknowledge the thoughts, know they are temporary and engage the mind in a more productive, and or fun activity, the negative thoughts can disappear.
If the symptoms continue without your being able to get them under control using these methods, it is time to get professional help, because many mental illnesses get worse without treatment.
