Make your life your friend

Working on making the present moment your friend is a practice embraced by many who seek mindfulness and inner peace. By accepting and embracing the present moment, individuals often find greater contentment, reduced stress, and increased resilience. On the other hand, resisting the present moment can lead to frustration, anxiety, and a sense of disconnect from reality. While resistance might provide temporary relief or distraction, it usually doesn't offer a sustainable solution. Ultimately, learning to befriend the present moment can be a powerful tool for personal growth and well-being. How many people work on making the present moment their friend? On the other hand, how many people resist the present moment? If so, does it work?

Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?

Change is uncomfortable

It's so easy to hold yourself back from becoming your greatest self because what is required to do so is uncomfortable. Please don't become complacent with your transcendence. I know stepping out of your comfort zone is scary and we do so much to avoid it, but it's such a great gift to give to yourself. How do you push yourself to do this?

The power of working on yourself

One of the best things I ever did was to start investing in myself. Practicing good physical and mental health is so rewarding and the more you do, the more you can do. Best of all, you can do it for free. There are loads of things you can do at home to better yourself and you can learn a lot about yourself in the process. Do you see yourself in either of the two categories mentioned in the picture? What does this tell you about yourself?

The power of mindfulness

Here's an illustration I really like about how mindfulness externalizes thoughts so that you can watch them from a place of peace instead of fixating, fighting, and resisting them, which causes so much pain. Can anyone relate to this or practice it?

Forgiveness

One of the biggest obstacles I see with people and their mental health is saying "It's not that easy." I know it's not that easy. If it were easy, you would already be doing it. Having good mental health requires you do what is hard. One of those hard things is forgiveness. Many people will never apologize to you, and many will not even know they have trespassed against you. None of us are perfect. None of us are innocent. Please forgive each other otherwise the pain will just keep on spreading.

How do you speak

Please remember that having good mental health is not just about how you treat yourself, but also how you treat others. If you think wicked things of others, you will say wicked things about them, and fill your head with wicked thoughts, and feel wicked as well. However, if you do the opposite and bless others with every breath you have, you will also bless yourself and feel that peace. Can anyone relate to this?

Be the best you

I understand the need to find a partner in life. I understand the need to build, chase, and conquer as way to find this partner. But how many are trying to better themselves so that they may love themselves? Would you rather love yourself, or have someone else love you? Your answer to this question might indicate why there is so much suffering going on in your head. What do you think?

Letting go

For me, mental health is not about building walls, making myself stronger, or defending myself. It is about letting go of things I think I need to hold on to and my projections about how my little opinion thinks the world should be. In this letting go I find peace. In surrender, not strength, I find relief. What about you?
