Create a Healthy Mindset Today
1 min readWhen we face adversity, it can feel like the storm will never blows over. This is because our minds tell us that the struggle will never end. The mind creates perceptions over every facet of our lives and how we experience the world around us. What you mind tells you, dictates how you will navigate through every moment of every day, including how you interact with others. Therefore, strive to keep a clear, positive and upbeat mind (including your thoughts)!
Our minds are always active. Even our sleep can produce vivid dreams. Thankfully, there are steps you can implement to help manage your thoughts before they control you. Learning mindfulness will help to reduce sadness, anxiety, fear, depression, shame, and guilt. It will help you achieve an inner peace and reach your goals.
Eastern traditions have long discussed the benefits of mindfulness. A helpful trick to gain control of your thoughts is to practice daily meditations. Begin with five minutes a day where you focus on your breath and release all judgments. Gradually work-up to a place where you enjoy two sessions of at least 15 minutes daily. It is important to remember that 90% of peoples’ biggest fears never appear. Instead, it is an individual’s mind that creates a state of heaven or hell. When you have control over your mind, rather than it control you, you will feel happier, more grounded, and more focused on achieving your goals.
While mindfulness is certainly popular, can we really expect it to solve deep-rooted issues? It seems overly simplistic to suggest meditation as a cure-all.
I understand your skepticism, SkepticalSam, but perhaps it’s not about solving everything but rather managing what’s within our control.
Exactly, CuriousCat. Relying solely on mindfulness without addressing underlying problems can be misleading.
This article opens up an important dialogue about mental health practices; however, further research into their efficacy would strengthen its arguments.
‘90% of fears never appear?’ That’s quite a comforting thought—until you realize that the remaining 10% might just haunt you!

‘Practice daily meditations’? I struggle to sit still for five minutes without plotting world domination over my coffee break!
Engaging with mindfulness is not merely about reducing negative emotions; it’s about fostering resilience and self-awareness in an often chaotic world.
Mindfulness has its merits, but let’s not forget that sometimes external factors play a significant role in our struggles.
True that! Inner peace is essential, but societal issues can’t be ignored either.
