To manage our mental health well, we should accept ourselves with all our complications and individuality.

To manage our mental health well, we should accept ourselves with all our complications and individuality.
We were born playing and resting. Work came later. But all are important, in balance, for a good life.
When we are mindless, we are like a helpless pan of boiling water. When we are mindful, we are like a good cook, controlling our temperature.
We learn many of our inner dialogues from childhood. We may need to learn more empathic and constructive self-talk.
We deceive ourselves as a defence mechanism. We sacrifice mental clarity on the altar of temporary safety.
Everyday living automatically gives us stresses. We need to balance our response wisely.
