What are some routines or practices that you follow daily to sustain mental health?

@uchenna_duru Finding solace in religious books is recommended by many elders and people who have read them before. I have often thought about picking up Bhagavad Gita, and making it a habit of reading a few pages every day, but I have been unsuccessful so far. Your answer has given me new hope. Thank you for writing Uchenna.

@tanoy27 Thanks for your comments. Indeed, many are in the same shoes today, not having the slightest idea about the emotionally soothing lessons of the Bible. For example, the book of Proverbs 4:23 says, "guard your heart with all diligence as out of it are the issues (good or bad (sic)) of life." So in this scripture you, nobody else, can own and control your flow of emotions. Again, Philipians 4:8 says, "...whatever is pure, whatever is of good report, ...if there's any virtue in it...think on them regularly." We cannot say enough on these. Then, finally, Proverbs 23:7 says, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Here, we can deduce that if you desire good life, do your best to think only good thoughts, etc. All the references above are from KJV. Best, Uchenna.

@justana Wow! This is a brilliant idea. Getting your brain hooked to a joyful idea, and then meditating over it is great for soothing the anguishes. Building a happy zone is something that I will try for sure. Thanks for commenting, Ana.

@joanna_radecka That's a very healthy lifestyle you're following there, Joanna. Right now, I'm trying to fix my mental health based on the suggestions shared by others here. If it gets too overwhelming, like you said, I will consult a therapist. Thanks for commenting.

@tanoy27 I'm trying to balance my life and those ways work the best for me. :) I cross my fingers for you!

@joanna_radecka Thank you, Joanna. I wish you all the best too

@lior_galante_cohen Yes, shedding some sweat is great for your body and mind.

@maxwellcdavis Yup, great combination. Hitting PRs and crushing high scores both have their own advantages. Thanks for commenting, Maxwell.

@amirali_nurmagomedov Certainly! Pets can be a blessing for mental heath stability. A walk with them is great for strengthening the connection with them, and maintain physical health too. Thanks for commenting, Amirali.

@amirali_nurmagomedov I visit my mom because she has lots of Maine coon cats :) That's a great stress relief!

@mthiara Physical training is one of the most effective ways of battling mental stress. I remember feeling all pumped up after sweaty exercise sessions. It's time for me to put on the gym shoes and get into that rhythm again. Thanks for commenting, Mondeep. Keep crushing.

@tanoy27 thanks! After about 10min of a good cardio ssession stresses do actually fade away. Stretching is also good!

@priyanka_ram Meditation and cringe shows, WOW! That's quite a combination. I'm curious to know what cringe shows do you watch normally? I think they will be great for stress-busting. Maybe I can pick up a few shows from your list. Thanks for contributing to this thread, Priyanka.

@tanoy27 oh, there are a couple. But right now I am watching an American show called Superstore on Netflix.

@priyanka_ram Ok, noted. I will check it out.

@vaio_0819 Long walks are refreshing. Best way to declutter your mind. I usually go for long walks with earphones plugged-in. But, I think I should try to go without them. Good way to practice digital detox. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Vaibhavi.

@hugh_dawkins Indeed Hugh. That's a great trio for disconnecting from work and spending time with yourself. Thanks for writing, Hugh.
