Mental health is very important part of our life, it is a key aspect in our daily living that influence how we think, how we act and what we feel. Problems and negativity are all around us, and although mental health is very important, we can't deny that we care about it less, not until we feel some stress, anxiety and leads to a depression.

Mental health issues can affect different people in different ways. For example Person A can think problems as a spice of life, and normal; while, on the other hand, Person B can think that problem is dangerous, and hell on earth. We should remember not to judge!

Just this afternoon when I had another precious day with my church mate doing our monthly bible study. We came up to the topic of Mental health and there's some of us who shared their own story experiencing mental problem, and it is too dangerous and hard to overcome.

One of my friend suffer from anxiety for almost 3 years, and according to his doctor, it is his prayer and he, himself, can only cure this problem. No matter how many medicine he will take, as long as there's no guidance of our God, and no self-motivation, still it's useless. By God's grace he overcome anxiety, and for now he is doing his best not to get stress as far as he can.

One of our church mate also shared his life struggles being depressed. He don't have the courage to start a day, he always feel that he is a failure, he always wants to be alone and lonely, he wants to stay away from people no matter who and what they are, and always think that no one can understand him.

Through this sharing, it is somewhat a self-reflection, take time to pause and ask yourself; I am okay? It is so easily, to reply someone that you are okay, but how about deep inside, are you really okay? Does your mental health is really okay?

Being emotionally healthy can help you be more productive and effective in every things that you do. It helps you adjust to changes in your life and manage with hardship, which is vital for the quality of your relationships. Mental problem is one of the reasons why relationship not just for a couple but even in a family, ruin.

So how we can overcome mental problems?

Just like what I have stated above, that there are two major things that can help you to overcome this;

First, being connected to God. Humble yourself to the presence of our God. Sometimes, we gain problems because we are too proud of ourself, that we don't even take some time to ask guidance from Him. Let God be the center and head of every plans that you do, that if when it comes to the point that you fail, your hope and positivity still there, saying everything happens for a reason, that it's part of God's plan

Second, help yourself. If there is one person that can help you overcome Mental problems, then it's you. Be the number one motivator of yourself. Sometimes we keep on running for other's comfort that we don't realize we are loosing our value. So treat yourself good, first and foremost.

What other things you can do?

• Take a rest

• Meditate

• Give yourself a reward

• Make yourself happy

• Avoid negative people

• Watch funny videos

These are just simple reminders everyone, hope you are all doing well and don't forget to take care of mental health.
