There are ups and downs in life. Possible this time we are at our lowest point in life. Sometimes results are not coming. Due to frustration, we start to think about quitting or giving up. If you are facing this situation, this video is for you.

1-This is a phase.

Tough times come in life. These are part of life. They will never last forever.

There is a quote: “Tough times never last, but tough people do”. Life is a cycle of highs and lows. Remember. These times will never last forever. These phases of life also passed. There is a storm in life now; when the storm passes, a new day will come. Hold on.

2-You are stronger than you think.

Most of the time, stress comes from inside, not outside circumstances. Because in the past, we performed well. But now is a tough time or a bad situation. It does not mean you cannot perform well again.

You are still the same; you are still strong. This tough time also teaches you.

Remember many similar situations occurred previously, and you survived them well then.

You have inner strength.

Believe you can still reach your potential, and you will solve this problem.

Remember that you are more capable than you think. You are stronger than you believe.

3-Small steps count.

There is a saying that when fog is everywhere and you cannot see anything,  you can still see one step. And when you take that step, one more step is again visible. And these small steps lead you to better

Progress isn’t always a leap forward. Sometimes it’s tiny, almost imperceptible steps. Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal. Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.

4-Remember Your ‘Why’.

Think back to the reasons why you started. Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

The successful people are those who stay more persistent than others. They also have lows and highs in their lives. And, perhaps most importantly, they understand why they do what they do.

This is why you should keep them going. This is why I did not let them down.

5-Failure is a stepping stone.

When the toughest failure comes to mind, always remember that every failure is another opportunity to learn. But it does not mean you should stop. First effort, so you cannot fail. Failure is not an option, but if you meet failure, it is another stepping stone.

6-Practice self-care.

First of all, you have to take care of yourself. Practice self-care.

Eat healthy food.

Do exercise.

Take proper 6-hour sleep.

Enjoy the company of loved ones.

Do meditation.

Spend time in activities that you love.

In this modern era about every third person is suffering from anxiety and stress. And anxiety is the root cause of overthinking. We tend to ruminate about many things in our life. Some are negative thoughts and some are just worrisome thoughts. We can even redirect our thoughts to become useful for us. I will tell you some ways to reduce the habit of overthinking. Let’s start!

Become aware of your thoughts 

Start by becoming aware of your thoughts. What is going on inside our heads? What are these thoughts all about? It is important to realise what are the things that are triggering overthinking in your mind. Is the workspace triggering it? Or is it the social space provoking it? try to predict the situation so that you can manage it. Self-improvement starts with self-acceptance. it is easier to identify your flaws but accepting them is a big hell of a task. A doctor can not prescribe medicine until he diagnoses the disease likewise the flaws cannot be overcome until they are accepted. Don’t let your thoughts become restricted to your mind only. Let them out and write them in a journaling book. Keeping a journal book is an effective way to let things out. Whenever you write those random things out on paper you become more aware of your limitations. 

Daily activities

As the proverb goes, an empty mind is a devil’s house. We tend to overthink more when we have nothing to occupy the space of our brain. Whenever we have something on our mind to keep us going we are less likely to ruminate. It is highly suggested to keep ourselves busy with daily tasks. Like when going out for a walk keep yourself focused on the surroundings instead of thinking in your bubble. The key is you have to control the mind and don’t let the mind control you. While walking in the park, become observant and try to notice everything around you instead of becoming a prisoner to thoughts. Engage your mind so that it won’t be able to overthink. It is highly recommended to try novel things more often. We want our minds to be attentive. Trying out new things will force them to participate in the activities. For example, you can learn to drive a car, and you can also engage yourself in some ted talks or social gatherings, etc.

Scheduled worry 

It is the best way to handle your brain. We can just tell our brain that we remember the worry and we know we have to handle it. Just delay the worry by writing it down in a journal and say I will worry about it at 2 pm or I will do it at night. In this way, your brain will become relaxed and will stop nagging you all the time for the particular task. Your brain likes boundaries and it is advised to keep it engaged.

Meditation 

The ultimate way to control your mind is to meditate. Meditation is the only way by which you can tame your thoughts. Mediation has many benefits and it is one of them. Since meditation helps you achieve a relaxed, calmer, and serene mind, that is why it assists you in controlling your crazy chimp mind as well.

Concrete thoughts 

Concrete things are all about the things that are practically achievable. Write down those things only that you think are practically achievable. For instance, complaining about why I can’t be happy like my friends. Instead of these gloomy thoughts try reminiscing about what I can do today to make myself happy. Look for more concrete things.

how to deal with Mental Health Stress I Mental Health I Mental illness I Consultant Mindset

Hey, guys hope you are doing great. Welcome back to our Consultant Mindset.  Just as we get diseases like flu, cough, and fever, we can also have some mental illnesses. These cognitive issues are those that are never taken into account. We do not consider them a disease. In fact, the literal meaning of disease tells us the feeling of being in an uncomfortable situation. If you are feeling bizarre, anxious, or agitated then you should pay attention to such feelings as well. We only pay attention to infectious diseases. Psychological issues are something that should be treated as well. Many suicide cases are happening these days due to mental health issues. I will state some reasons why people encounter mental health issues and their solutions in this video. Let us get straight into this video without wasting much time. Before that do not forget to like, share and subscribe to our Youtube channel. Let us jump right into it.

Causes of mental health issues 

  • Childhood trauma or abuse

According to science, there is some genetic basis for mental problems as well. For example, the mental disorder schizophrenia is most likely to be passed on to the next generation because it has a genetic basis. Other psychological disorders like autism, bipolar disorders and depression run in the family as well. Diseases with a genetic basis can never be cured 100% but they can be managed with proper treatments and prevention. Mental health issues can arise from various traumas and incidents in life. Consider a kid facing traumatic incidents in childhood like parental abuse or bullying in school. These traumas will continue to grow with him/her till he/she gets old enough to overcome them.  Even if they overcome such traumas a piece of them becomes part of their brain and can never be unremembered.

Bereavement 

It is something that can arise from losing loved ones in your life. It is the deprivation of your beloved and precious people. People who tend to lose their loved ones unexpectedly or unexpectedly in their lives can have major impacts on their mental states. Just as consider an example in 2016 a native school in Pakistan became under terrorist attack. And many youngsters were martyred in that incident. That incident left long-lasting damage to their parents’ brains. Their children left for education but they never came back. This will become a trauma for other parents as well eventually. Traumas lead to depression, agitation, and anxiety.

Homelessness or unemployment 

Poverty is something that can turn your life upside down. Homelessness can cause you to worry more about your lifestyle issues. Hazrat Ali (A.S) “if poverty were a man; I would’ve slain him”. Homelessness and unemployment are related to each other. Unemployment results in poverty and stressed-out conditions. Consider if you are living on rent and suddenly you get fired from employment. Now you have no source of income. How are you going to overcome this problem? Employment is not something that would be given to you in no time. You have to strive for it. Constant worries about these situations lead to psychological issues. And our psychology is related to our physical health as well.

Solutions to mental issues

As I mentioned earlier, mental disorders that have a genetic basis and run in families cannot be treated. But their symptoms can be managed by proper steps.

  • Look after your physical health 

Our brain and body are connected. Our body works in coordination. There are proper signaling pathways in the body that are being done by the glands and hormone production. Such as whenever you are happy the happy hormone called oxytocin is produced. Whenever you are stressed out, stress hormone adrenaline is produced. It concludes how well our body is coordinated in its actions. It is essential to take care of your physical health so that you remain mentally healthy. Getting enough sleep prevents you from mood swings. Eating healthy food instead of junk helps the release of happy chemicals in the body. 

  • Nourish your social life

Try to stay connected with your peers and family. It will help you engage your thoughts. It helps in feeling confident about yourself. Boosting morale and self-esteem is also a major step in lifting your anxious thoughts. Connection with peers helps you in a way that you feel protected by their support. You do not feel lonely and stressed out. You always think that they got their back so there is nothing to worry about.

  • Medications and therapies

According to doctors many medications and therapies are available that can help you in overcoming mental disorders. Therapies like CBT(cognitive behavioural therapy) help you in dealing with behavioural problems. Antidepressant pills and many stress-reducing pills are recommended by psychiatrists to control mental health issues.

 In the end, I must say we should not overlook mental disorders by considering them just mood swings. Mental issues are a hot topic these days leading to suicidal thoughts and mental lacerations. We should consult therapists and psychiatrists for their treatment. Early signs should be taken into consideration and should get treated properly. That’s all for today’s video.
