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?

@Starmedia that's great I am glad happy that someone understands how I feel and what I wrote that makes me smile and that's the best response ever
@dhabib
I am so sorry I don't know how I missed your response but thanks for expressing yourself!
@Starmedia Thank you and thanks for understanding that and respecting it I am also in. A hard situation with my dad and it hurts to be dealing with what I have to deal with it hurts in many ways your not listened to and it's mean by dad doesn't care what I have to say
I still have a lot to tell you
I have a lot to say
@dhabib
Sounds like you're going through a very difficult time dear, especially with your dad. It can be very hurtful to feel that we are not being listened to and cared for. *hugs* I really hope things get better for you.
Please remember you deserve to be treated well, and respected. You can always reach out to me or any listener for support. We are all here for you, okay? Stay strong.
@Starmedia thank you I need you yes and yes it hurts yes it's hard and thank you for your understanding yes I been stressed and anxious for several months yes I have a lot to say and a lot to tell you
Emotions I would like to get rid of it's sadness stress anger and feeling hurt and being in pain and being scared and showing signs of panic I need guidance I need advice and help I need someone who listens and respects me and understands me I'm sensitive of course it hurts it's heavy on me and it's uncomfortable
I would like to cleanse myself from tension and anxiety and fear and stress that bothers me a lot it's a long term problem at least for me it's not fun at all to be carrying it and it's uncomfortable to be uncomfortable unpleasant things reliving a trauma incident I don't like others making me feel uncomfortable and I would like to get rid of my nightmares and scars and things that are hurtful to my soul and life
I cleanse myself with essential oils it's lavender and water giving myself a warm hug and squeezing every muscle in my body from head to toe and wait until I'm completely relaxed just breathe
Imagining a staircase is going 20 steps and I do get relaxed and soothered it's very helpful going down slowly I deserve to melt anything it's tension and pain reguardless how I'm feeling and also imaging myself as a glowing angel and I am soaking myself in water improves my mood it's necessary and I will reuse use it it's in my tool box
@VerseArt
The thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow. The feelings of queasiness. The negative emotions of judgment towards self and others.
Let it all be washed away ... 😇
Hello @DonaldDraper
That's a great one. The past should be washed away :)
What are some thoughts, emotions, or feelings that you would like to get rid of in order to cleanse your mind?
I'm not good enough, procrastination, I can't do it
Hello @Dinoprincess12
Hope you get rid of all the above mentioned :)

Till a few years back this list was really long but since then I have learned to accept myself the way I am and develop more positive thinking.
Still, I would like to stop considering myself as very lazy or procrastinator, overthinking things that my friends and parents say sometimes,
Hello @BookChunky
It's so great that you have come to accepted yourself and doing better :)

Hello @pamharley003
