World Mental Health Day : Cleanse Your Mind
WMHD Event: Cleanse Your Mind
Hello everyone! Hope you are doing great.
It’s a beautiful day outside today, isn’t it? :)
Today is Day 2 of our World Mental Health Day Event. (Check out this post for details on World Mental Health Day Event). Taking care of our mental health is extremely important, so to improve the mental health we need to overcome the obstacles on the way by getting rid of negativity.
Imagine going in for a bath, you wash away all the impurities with water and soap. Now consider taking your mind/brain for a bath, over here, you wash away all the negative thoughts and emotions (impurities) by writing them down instead of washing them away with water and soap.
Icebreaker: What are some thoughts, emotions, or feelings that you would like to get rid of in order to cleanse your mind?
Please tag 3 others to join in on our Icebreaker post! And, after participation, fill out this form to earn your badge and check out this Masterpost to participate in other fun October Events.

I'd say,I'd like to cleanse away my overthinking and procrastinating and the guilty feel of not doing anything productive. Also ,to cleanse away the worry about the pandemic. 🌻

I would like to get rid of procrastination and relating too much with others feelings and treating as if its my own feelings and letting them affect me .

Hello @Destiny00
I completely agree. Having boundaries is very important. :)
Hello @Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you! <3
I completely agree with every single one of your thoughts I'd like to get rid of as well. I hope both of us would be able to worry less :)
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thanks for the tag! 
I hope you will be able to achieve that sun! 
Icebreaker: What are some thoughts, emotions, or feelings that you would like to get rid of in order to cleanse your mind?
I would like to get rid of stress and worries about a situation! Working on letting go (not moving on) and learning to trust the process.
@VerseArt
I would like to be rid of any thoughts of several world leaders that I think are bad for the world. One in particular.
Just their names alone are bad for my mental health.
So I avoid any news with them in it.
And that essentially keeps my mind cleansed of them.
Out of sight, out of mind. Trigger avoided.
That just gave me an idea!!!
I can make a bookmarklet to edit-out an unwanted name from a web page.
So before I read the news on a web page, I can click the bookmarklet and ##### out their name!
Here is the javascript I adapted from here.
If you know what a bookmarklet is, you'll know how to use it.
It changes the word Frump into #####
To motify it to change another word into #####, just edit the text Frump below.
javascript:var count=0; function htmlreplace(a,b,element){ if(!element)element=document.body; var nodes=element.childNodes; for(var n=0;n<nodes.length;n++){ if(nodes[n].type&&nodes[n].type.toLowerCase()=='textarea'){ var r=new RegExp(a,'gim'); if(nodes[n].value.match(r)){ count++; } nodes[n].value=nodes[n].value.replace(r,b) } else if(nodes[n].nodeValue && nodes[n].nodeValue.length > 0){ var r=new RegExp(a,'gim'); if(nodes[n].nodeValue.match(r)){ count++; } nodes[n].nodeValue=nodes[n].nodeValue.replace(r,b) } else{ htmlreplace(a,b,nodes[n]) } } } htmlreplace("Frump","#####"); alert('replaced '+count+' words.');
Hello @7motivation
Thank you for the amazing knowledge. It's really a good way to avoid triggers. :)
Also, I do not know Java. (I know a little python). :p
@VerseArt
You're welcome.
And just so others know,
JavaScript and Java are 2 different things,
although over time they have become more similar.
But still they are very different and not the same as explained here
https://javascript-obfuscator.org/blog/java-vs-javascript-whats-the-difference/
https://www.seguetech.com/java-vs-javascript-difference/
Just remember
Java is to Javascript
as Ham is to Hamster.
A Ham is not a Hamster.
And Java is not Javascript.
They're completely different things.
Got it @7motivation
Thanks for the clarification. :)

@VerseArt
The series is an awesome one, Verse. Well done.
Question. What are some thoughts, emotions, or feelings that you would like to get rid of in order to cleanse your mind?
Answer. I would like to get rid of procrastination and be more active. I have thought of a 'thirty day- thirty activities' plan to avoid this, but well, I am procrastinating on the plan itself.
Hello @Textingpals
Thank you! Procrastination is all over this post. Everyone can relate, especially me as I even procrastinated posting this. :p
@Textingpals
Of course! And there's no need to worry: even if procrastination is really hard, you are an amazing, hardworking person.
@blissart
Thanks for tagging me..
I would like to get rid of the feeling of me being not enough..

Hello @lovelyMirage5650
I know it's tough, I deal with the same. I believe both of us can get better. Wish you the best best! <3
Hi @VerseArt !
Thank you and hope you can overcome this feeling too..
All the best!!
Hello @blissart
Thank you!! I completely agree. We all need to get rid of Procrastination. I think everyone has written that here.
@blissart @Destiny00 @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @incognitoknight0101 @vroomvrooom @VerseArt
For all above who wanted to be rid of procrastination,
try my ZOMBIE HABIT as explained here
Zombie Habit uses 4 F-Modes, fast, fun, focus, flow
1) activate fast into Zombie mode within 5 seconds
2) have fun by really playing a Zombie,
3) focus like a Zombie on one tiny thing to do
4) flow like a Zombie "moment by moment" (get into a flow state)
Click the link above to see how it works and why.
It's my fun way to beat procrastination.
If you know of a more fun way, please let me know!
Hey @7motivation
It's a great post. Thank you for taking the time out in writing it. I hope each one of us will be able to implement it. :)
@7motivation
Thank you so much! Its really great :)
@blissart @Destiny00 @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @incognitoknight0101 @vroomvrooom @VerseArt
Zombie Habit is most fun when
you play it up,
and add gestures and sounds effects, like this
@7motivation
Woahhhh that was scary fun! haha
@incognitoknight0101
Thanks. I had so much fun watching that guy do the ZOMBIE sound effects, especially at the end
Now I make sound effects too whenever I use the ZOMBIE HABIT.
Plus I add some gestures like he does. ARRRRrrrrrrrrr!

Hello @hopebeyondpain
As your username says, hope you accomplish that. Little by little, I know you will. 🙂
@VerseArt
Thank you for tagging me @hopebeyondpain I hope you can cleanse your mind from that soon 💗
I liked this post and the idea of cleaning my mind sounds great. However, I was triggered when I read the word 'bath'. I would like to get rid of that.
I would also like to get rid of bad memories, fears, guilt, shame, anger, hatred and so many bad words I call myself every day.
@VerseArt
@Daf8 The cat god Daf has summoned me, her loyal cat-servant yet again. I look forward to fulfilling whatever the cat god demands!
Oof, this month sure has been…something, and if I’m taking the time to cleanse my thoughts we’re going to need a lot of soap, water, and time.
I need to be more understanding of myself in that life is not a competition to be won, and that even if I’m not doing great right now, I will be okay someday. The ideal life that I want for myself requires me to have mental peace, and it would be wrong of me to blame myself for not achieving my goals when I do not have that peace of mind. This includes being kinder to myself about the things I cannot control, such as my ADHD and anxiety which have both been going crazy recently.
Anyways, that’s my mental health goal, now I wanna hear from these awesome people: @RoryK @Clara139175 @HannahChu777 And I hope all of you reading this have a great day :)
@drearienne
hehe ty for the tag. for me it's to stop comparing and degrading myself when the level of my actions don't match others.
Hello @HannahChu777
I do feel the same many times and I always tell myself that, 'everyone is trying their best and everyone's best is different.' :)
So, you know that you are trying your best. <3
@VerseArt
Yesss my competition is my past self tbh
Hello @drearienne
I am so glad you got summoned and answered. Thank you! <3
This month might have been difficult but I hope the next when will be better :)
@drearienne
Of course! I summon an awesome, cute frog. I congratulate you for your attitude, and I assure you that I'm here for you.
Thanks for the tag, @drearienne
I would like to cleanse my mind of a lot of things, but I think I would like to cleanse my mind of trauma the most.

Hello @RoryK
I hope you'll be able to do that. :)
@VerseArt
What are some thoughts, emotions, or feelings that you would like to get rid of in order to cleanse your mind?: I would like to get of thoughts, feelings and emotions that are negative and harmful to my mental health.
Hey @azuladragon34
That's the motive. :)
