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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Living in the real world versus social media fantasies. Emotional maturity and taking responsibility for ourself and our rreactions. Not playing the blame game.
@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. 😉
@Soossie I can’t explain much cause I’m not you Soossie but when you ask questions about a healthy mind , in my case you I be enquiring about what’s going on with me and at some level there’s either fear or doubt comes in . You be looking for peace all of the time Soossie and that’s an impossibility. I’m a big believer in something bigger than me , through dark days and good days , especially good days cause when you have good days it’s a way easier to crash than having bad days cause bad days your always working on yourself . That’s my best explanation that I can answer you Soossie
Thank you for trying to explain … however, I think that you might be asking your question about me doubting myself based on your own standards ….
I’m a work in progress, definitely … but a healthy mind tries to learn and that’s why bring up a question … I might doubt myself sometimes but definitely I know that for the most part, I have a healthy mind …
@Soossie Your right . That’s all how I know to answer questions Soossie based on my experience. My experience was painful a lot of my life and all I know how to answer is through my own experience and it could be right for me but wrong for others . I had a painful life , but my mind at times is very healthy , not all of the time but at times a lot of it . 🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️
IMHO, an absolute healthy mind doesn’t exist …. But we all try if we stay aware of what we think, or do …
Nevertheless, a relatively healthy mind does not get involved in what might bring any kind of damage (physically, or emotionally) to self … and of course to others …
