I'm excited to join this community, I have wanted to before now but school stress and all that as been a big issue for me.
This week's prompt in the community caught my attention and I will love to share my brief experience on how I managed to stay positive during my trying times. It is very painful when you need something and not having it, it is most painful when that thing you need is a necessity and not just wants. I wasn't born with a silver spoon and so I have to struggle my life to provide for myself the things that I need. Growing up and catering for some of my needs at an early stage of life made me stronger and braver. I have learnt to be independent because I will believe nobody will help me like I will.
The few tips that kept me going was never to expect too much from people, you will always get disappointed. I learnt to manage the little that I have and as only a few times when a need arise, I am not anti-social but I don't want my lifestyle to be too public. I know when to ask and when not to so as to save myself from disgrace and disappointments.
I have also set priorities for myself, not everything and everyone can get access to my heart just like that, you have to earn that because I know what my peace of mind really means for me. If it is not a necessity then I am off, I can't kill myself when I have only one life to live. It's not everything that I must get because it is easier to get yourself into depression from this, I weigh things up and go for what I really need at the moment and if I still can get it, I change priorities as soon as I can.
These are the few ways I take care of my mental health because I noticed it isn't difficult to fall into depression in our current world I am an advocate of peace and tranquility,so I will continue to tell people in the need to prioritize their peace of mind more than anything and more than anyone. What is the essence of life when you are living in regrets and pain all the time, the easiest way is to let things slide and move on to the next chapter of life. Life has many unfold opportunities go get yourself one!
I came across some wise words somewhere and I will love to leave you all with that, "When you want to at all costs live above your means, you will eventually be fall into big troubles". This is the more reason why our societies are having plenty criminal cases and plenty depressed people. To what end?
These are the few major ways I avert depression, it can work for you too my reader, just make sure to stay positive at all times and prioritize your peace of mind above anything and anyone..
