Healthy Mind Health is important to any illness and the following are good long live things to be aware of.
1. Believe in yourself.
You have to believe in yourself ultimately. Always Think big and Dream big. Focus on your strengths and work on developing your shortfalls. Don’t compare yourself to others and don’t let circumstances dictate what you are capable of achieving. "Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.” ~ Cynthia Kersey
2. Work hard.
Do what you can do. Don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself. Take responsibility for where you are. Stop feeling like you’re owed. In life, there are no handouts. If you want something, you owe it to yourself to go out and get it. Nothing worth having comes easy. “Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.” ~Marva Collins
3. Be Positive.
Turn negatives into positives and make it a growing experiencing. Don’t dwell on others opinions of you or take things personally. Don’t blame and harbour toxic emotions. It will only hold you back. Let it add fuel to the fire. Envision the future and maintain your focus. “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom. I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.” ~Nelson Mandela
4. Never give up.
Be confident. Ask for what you want. Purpose in your heart that you will keep fighting for your dreams. How many times will you try before you decide to give up? This is your dream and you have to protect it. I try every door until I have exhausted all options and yet I don’t give up. Once there is a will, there is always way and I am determined to find it! "You've only got three choices in life: Give up, give in, or give it all you've got. ~Unknown.
5. Be Patient.
For everything there is a time and season. The waiting period can be the most difficult but it's important to not let doubt and fear creep in. ”No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. “You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant” ~Warren Buffett
6. Have a strong support network.
You can’t do it alone. There are days when it becomes too much for you. You may need a little help to get back up. “Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you.” ~Edmund Lee
7. Have faith that things will work out.
Some things are out of your control. I trust that God will take me through those difficult moments and this gives me peace even when things don't go my way. “Faith is like the radar that sees through the fog” ~Corrie Ten Boom.
