Leveling up by improving your mental health - Tips to Feel Better Immediately

In turbulent times like these - and life in general - it's helpful to have some easy tricks up your sleeve to feel better more often.

Let's be honest, mental health is not what is focused on most, but I believe that it's as least as important as physical health. In fact you could argue that they are Siamese twins or two sides of the seesaw, balancing each other out or making each other worse.

I learnt the following today ( although most of is was already present, somewhere in my memory bank ), as depicted in the three photos I added here.

A recap and refreshener always comes in handy though, as most of us are processing so much information in this high speed, multimedia, multitasking era that it's often impossible to find what we need when we need it the most.

Hopefully this comes in handy for some of you. I expect that reading it ( at least once ) will brighten your day a little more. And if it doesn't, you're either doing fine already or - more probably - still have a lot of work to do.

If the latter is the case, let this be a first, little step in the right direction, towards an improved version of you.

If you think this looks ugly or is nonsense, you still have plenty of leveling up to do, before you become a ZEN master.

Believe me, I'm far from there yet myself but I'm working on it.

This ended up looking far from perfect. I had put a lot of pressure on these crayons / oil pastels lately. Apparently the heads had ended up so blunt that this is how my writing came out.

_{the results of going wild with these pastels can be seen in another intuitive art piece that made me release some negative vibes and in a number of my creative posts of the last two months or so}

Not sure if there's some kind of sharpener for oil pastels ( @creativemary @clareartista @kristyglass @ryivhnn ? ) or should I just use a knife for that?

For those who have difficulty reading the above, here's a neat version ( though less colorful ):

1. Remember ( that ) your natural state is JOY
2. Your Thoughts, NOT the world, cause your STRESS
3. Monitor your stressful thoughts by checking on your emotional state, right in the moment. Ask yourself: Do I Feel Good?
   NO? Repeat this: I want to feel G(o)od?*
4. Make a conscious choice to select a choice / thought that will activate you feeling good
5. Keep Rule #6 in mind
6. STOP taking yourself so damn seriously
7. 7 Practice being in a state of silence
8. Accept the guidance of your source of intention

*Good / God - the difference is 0 / zero and you don't need to be religious for that. Replace the word God by any word(s) you can relate to more easily: source, source energy, spirit, the power of the universe, etc.)

The above words were spoken by Wayne Dyer. I just wrote them down for you ( and me ).

They come from his work "The Secret of the Power of Intention." I heard them today, while listening to part 5 of a 6 part podcast / an audio book version of the aforementioned.

For those interested, this book ( and about thirty thousand more hours of audio on similar topics ) can be found in the Hay House Unlimited Audio app that costs about 5 US dollars a month.

It's one thing I decided to invest in in the last month, to spend my time wisely and level up. I also decided to improve my chess skills. Can't train the brain enough.
