Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – Mental Health.
Mental Health is a big, big subject these days. COVID challenged us on many levels but hardest of all was in our minds. It flagged up how important the once neglected mental side of health truly is. So this week, SuperMind Saturday takes a look at our mental wellness.
- Mental Health – as ever I’m going to start with the point on many people’s lips. In this case it’s the word mental. This conjures up someone crazy, out of their minds, and plain mad. Therefore it’s perhaps not the best word to be used to draw attention to good mind health. And so should that be used instead? Good Mind Health? Or do you have an even better term that promotes a better view on mental wellbeing?
- Most people don’t like to talk about their mental health. But, even more so, they don’t want to even think about it even though that’s the right thing to do. We seem so scared about looking at our own mental health. What do we think we will find???
- Quote – award winning actress Glenn Close wonderfully said, ‘What mental health needs is more sunlight…and more unashamed conversation’. Mental health doesn’t seem half as bad when spoken about by a celebrity. How can we use well known people to normalise talking about mental health?
- Thought. How ground breaking would it be if someone created a highly publicised programme and book about a thought diet? A healthy range of thoughts to fit into our daily thinking patterns. Would you love to participate in a thought diet and why?
- Best health is seen as bodily health. We eat well and exercise well and reduce harmful substances to maintain a sturdy system. But the mind is also part of our body as such, a key component of what keeps us alive. Is it time then that society encouraged mind exercises for us to undertake to keep our mental health as good as our physical one? How best can we do this?
That’s another SuperMind Saturday for your mind powers to work on. Thank you for being here for the SuperMind time. Keep asking yourself these through the week to open up more of your mind to evolve its potential. Consider more, generate ideas more, think on bigger possibilities more, activate your connection to your personal higher mind more and more. Employ your SuperMInd and Super Think!
See you next time for more super thinking.
