The ability to be self sufficient and emotionally strong - to be able to stand on your own two feet and carry on in the face of adversity regardless of what else is going on within or around you.
@LadyBronte

Exactly … it’s all about standing on your own feet strongly and confidently …

Good to see you LadyBronte .. 🌹🌹
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Soossie Thank you. Good to see you too!

The ability to get a good night's sleep.
@RuyLopez

Lasting personal relationships with others. Ability to laugh a themselves and with others. Probably balanced emotions such as love, and anger... able to, without anger, defend themselves. Not overly compulsive or anxious and more that don't immediately come to mind.
@Ontheroad

Balanced emotions is the key word …
Ontheroad · M
@Soossie Agree, overall that's a good sign.
A positive attitude, not selfish, caring, seeking to do good, not quarrelsome, positive outlook on life, goal oriented. Seeks out the good in others, instead of criticizing or trying to find fault. Ambitious. Not controlling. Encourages themselves and others. Loves and helps themselves and others. Strives to do better and sets goals. Never gives up. Wants to be the best they can be. Never quits.
@LadyGrace

Well done Lady Grace … this is a wonderful answer and I agree with all the above …
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
Peace and free of out of control anger. Clear thinking and able to self reflect
@JimboSaturn

Definitely those …
How the heck would I know ?? ;-)

Self-awareness of attitudes and behaviors

Ability to stay focused /maintain perspective when stressed

Ability to be happy for, instead of jealous of, others

Ability to admit fault or mistakes and learn / grow from the experience

etc
@Stillwaiting

Haha ….

It seems that you already have one … congrats … 👏👏

Knowing your limitations as well as your strengths.
Being able to keep in perspective, and laugh at yourself.

My greatest strength has always been able to deal with chaos. Calmly working through problems. And let’s face it life is full of it.

But my weakness is lack of patience. That becomes a strength when I need to get things done, help someone, find a solution. But it works against me too. I need to give people space, time to work things out.
@SW-User

Self awareness is an important part that help us maintain a healthy mind ..
Very similar to a healthy body:
- alert, aware, good perception, reflexes and responsivity
- strong - flexible and adaptable at need, neither too bendy nor too brittle, able to carry it's own weight and lift loads
- fit - has stamina, endurance and ability to cope with stress
- healthy immune system - open to the new and nutritious or beneficial - able to repel the toxic
- good coordination and skills - knowing why, how and when to use all these
@hartfire

Well put … thank you …
1. A commitment to accepting reality as it is, i.e, that which is perceived via the senses, including the mind as the 6th sense.

2. Knows how to tell the difference between fact, belief, impression, opinion and fantasy. Knows it's often necessary to check or test - and how to do so.

3. Accepting 100% responsibility for one's own feelings, thoughts, words and actions: being honest about them; and being willing to promptly repair mistakes, make amends, and learn.

4. Respecting the boundaries or oneself and others, and living a healthy life.

5. Balance - allowing time for leisure, pleasure and nurturing warm relationships.

@Soossie I am certain that the Art and Sculpture that surrounds you; gave needed comfort.
@Pfuzylogic

They do … Also, I’m working on collages that bring me joy while listening to music… isn’t that a blessing??
Pfuzylogic · M
@Soossie That actually sounds fun!
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
Besides no mental or neurological disorders, the ability to accept that all people are different and seeing everyone as equals I think shows a very healthy mind.
@Queendragonfly

It does indeed …
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
Willing to learn and grow…

I’m certain there’s much more to it all than that, but I think that’s a good start.

I don’t think I have a healthy mind… but I’m working on it (with tools listed above)
@WaryWitchWandering

I, very much, like your answer …

A healthy mind should sustain itself by learning and through thought and character development …
Love, joy, happiness, kindness, compassion, helpfulness, playfulness, a sense of belonging.
@PhoenixPhail

Thank you my friend … a very good list you shared ….
@Soossie 🤗🤗🌹
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

Living in the real world versus social media fantasies. Emotional maturity and taking responsibility for ourself and our rreactions. Not playing the blame game.
@SW-User

Amen to that … very healthy attitude ..
Slade · 56-60, M
Avoid the 7 deadly sins as much as you can. Pride and lust are my biggest challenges
@Slade

Deadly sins can be controlled by self awareness, and you seem the have it ..
Slade · 56-60, M
@Soossie I think I'm pretty good with it overall. What you see here is me on steroids. I'm a little less outrageous IRL
@Slade

You’re fine … I know you know the limits with each user and that needs a healthy mind ..
PoeticPlay · 51-55, M
I couldn’t tell you.
How I survive is mind over matter.
If you don’t mind?
It doesn’t matter.

Swoop62 · M
@Soossie Hello to you as well and has been 1,472 days 😁 As you know made that one up. been on here some but don't do many questions.

I am doing well here as are my daughters. and think I saw some place that you got married. Maybe I heard it in the lunchroom. Congratulations or ever what it is said to that. Keep a smile on your face and lead in your pencil.

Thought of sending a message but you have 356 security checks. 😉
@Swoop62

Exactly, 1472 days …. Glad that you’ve been counting the days as I did ..

I’m glad to hear about you and your daughters …

And I still love your humor … 🤗🤗

A curious mind that learns to get unstuck from the ego and invests in self growth.
@thinkingoutloud

Self growth is very very important …
Reject · 26-30, M
Acceptance. It’s that simple.
Reject · 26-30, M
@Soossie Yes, but obviously you can create better situations for yourself while still accepting bad ones.
@Reject

I’m sorry but I can’t agree with this…
Reject · 26-30, M
@Soossie No need to apologize for being different. That’s a good thing.

@JohnnyNoir

Aww!! :(
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
@Soossie speaking for myself of course
@JohnnyNoir

Nahhh!! What you said, is absolutely right .. lol 🤗🤗
Critical thinking.
@SoulKey

Critical thinking could be mistaken with negative thinking unless we can present better alternatives to what we critic …
@Soossie Critical thinking refers to the ability to analyze information objectively and make a reasoned evaluation.
@SoulKey

Aww!! My mistake … then I absolutely agree …. 🙏

You're asking me??????😱
@Slade

Lol… I’m sure that you have some idea anyway … 😂
Slade · 56-60, M
@Soossie oh I do. Compartmentalizing the bad so it doesn"t dominate you 24/7 is very important.

That and getting laid 😎
Being able to agree to disagree
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart

This is a good one, yet, I prefer a progressive dialogue …
