Wake Up and Breath

Wake Up.. and Breath!
    First thing is first, relax, breath, and embrace the day! I was struggling with deciding what my first topic would be on, and I decided that simply getting up and beginning your day can be the hardest struggle sometimes.
     In saying that, I want to begin with mental health, something that many people tend to stray from focusing on.    
     Life is ever changing sometimes bringing opportunity, but sometimes can hit us with unpredictable lows. Having a strong mental state, preparing yourself emotionally, and starting your day off right can allow you to embrace the good days and cope with the bad.

    Why is mental health so important ?

• Easier to handle stress and other problems
• Developing a strong mental state not only allows you to build emotionally and mentally, Decreases the likelihood of having mental breakdowns.
• Changes your perspectives on situations in life
• A positive mindset creates a positive outlook! Negativity is mental and a choice! Choose to be positive !
• Physical health and mental heath correlate with one another 
• Failing to take care of your mental state is only making you vulnerable for negative situations in life
• Negativity does exist in the world, but the way in which you handle the negativity and things life throws at you all is based on your mindset. OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN a positive and strong mindset.
• Negativity can and will block your blessings and opportunities!
• The more negative your perspective is, the more succeptible you are to miss out on great opportunities in life.
• Many individuals become so wrapped up in a negative mindset, fail to take out positive aspects in life, and get caught up in believing continual lies to themselves that they can’t get through a situation or things wont get better.You can’t get through a low situation in life without high hopes and positivity. 
• Implementing positivity, self encouragement, and self motivation is vital to any individual. If not from others, you have to gain it from yourself and has to be internal. 
• Without it you are susceptible to become complacent in negativity and become stagnant in a situation of negativity. 

    Ideas to Take Hold Of

• Each day is a learning lesson. 
• Having a bad day is not always bad. You learn from all aspects in life.
• It is ok to make a mistake and go through a sequence of bad events, it happens. Develop from it and focus on the positive things you gained and learned from them.
• How would you know a good day if you never experienced a bad one ?
• Without the long and stressful days life would be boring right ? It’s like a weekend without a week.
• Bad days can only bring the good ones in.
• Focus on merely getting through the day.
• Don’t force things into your life, allow them to come. If something doesn’t go the way you expect, it’s life and it’s ok. Things happen for a reason.
• Don’t focus on the “Why”, focus on the “What”
• Dont try and break down life, and events that occur. Life is filled with unexpected twists and turns that we may never solve. Don’t stress them.
• Focus on “what” you can do to bring out the better in the situation, and figure out how to get through it. 
• Enjoy 
• Enjoy the little things, find happiness in simple things both tangible and intangible. Instead of thinking about what you don’t have be thankful and find happiness in the opportunities you do have.
