Hello Ladies in the hive. May we remain strong in facing the world.
This time I want to write about the importance of maintaining mental health. However, in this article I want to focus more on discussing maintaining mental health for women aged 19 years. This is based on the fact that I myself am 19 years old. So the source of this article is from my own experience from the age of 18 to now 19 years old.
In my opinion, mental attention and support are no less important than moral and financial support. Women aged 19 years are in the period of searching for their identity and finding the right ideology to be used as a life principle.
As a woman who likes to read philosophy books, at the age of 19 I began to feel uncertain as if I was being torn between idealism and the reality of life around me.
Maybe because of this, my mother often advised me who likes to read philosophy books, "Don't study philosophy too much, I'm worried because in the past many of my college friends who like to read philosophy books felt they were the smartest but ended up committing suicide. The important thing in life is that you have a good heart and can be useful to others" My mother's advice to me
At the age of 19, I received more pressure from the community. This pressure almost made me mentally down. But because of my mother's guidance, thank God I was able to get through various challenges of life in the community with the influence of advances in time and technology.
So how do I maintain my mental health? ....
Here are the ways I do to maintain my mental health.
1. Be Yourself
I think every human being is unique. Having their own strengths and weaknesses. Having their own talents. Accepting shortcomings by understanding that humans are actually imperfect creatures and utilizing strengths to develop our lives.
Being yourself where so many people imitate other people's lifestyles is indeed not easy. Moreover, nowadays technological developments are very rapid.
My mother once said, "Be yourself. And live life with a good heart. Don't do what God doesn't want you to do, which is to make everyone happy with you. Because no matter how good your behavior is, there will still be people who hate you."
Being yourself without being influenced by other people's opinions and expectations means that we live on the basis of our values and principles of life.
2. Be Indifferent
Being indifferent doesn't mean that we don't care about other people's lives. But we care about ourselves. We also take this attitude when other people are unhappy and say bad things about us.
As long as our intentions are good and in a good way for a good purpose, I always don't care when someone sneers and says things that are not in accordance with reality.
With just these 2 methods, I can maintain my mental health. Hopefully it is useful and if you have other ways, let's share them for the mental health of women around the world.
