Human nature is when you do something out of being human but when you do it on repeat and don’t correct your mistakes that come in result from doing something, it’s becomes rather a bad habit and it can makes things worse on the level of long term mental health issues. When you think about it, you are thinking how could anything we do that becomes a bad habit cause mental health issues.

But when you educate yourself as well with knowledge from experience, let’s just put it this way; nothing is impossible. But it’s within our own control as long as we don’t have/live/suffer with depression (even if the bad habit caused/triggered depression or even PTSD), we can use that self control which comes from the responsibility of the grey matter in our brain to correct and control our emotions. Which also comes along with emotional intelligence. As well with the responsibility of the hippocampus/amagdala which works with emotions and memory.

When it comes to mindfulness, we can all benefit greatly from it as long as we work on it and keep practicing as well with all the other parts that play along with it. Mental health is so important.

Mindfulness, meditation, silencing the mind, yoga, aromatherapy, therapy, art, emotional intelligence, CBT, DBT, REBT, and all else can really benefit and make our own individual lives so much easier to live and make the best out of our lives. As long as we allow it all to impact us in our life, the sky’s the limit!
