October 10th has been marked as World Mental Health Day. The theme line for World Mental Health Day 2024 goes like this: "It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace". It highlights the need for mental health support in the workplace, schools, universities, etc. creating a mentally robust environment.
How about our school be a safe and healthy
environment to study and work in? Can the students and staff testify that it is
a conducive place to learn and grow?
No doubt 21st-century
minds are constantly buffeted with cynical, depressive thoughts. Thoughts are
quite complex & challenging to most of us. Some of you reading these lines
could be depressed, neglected by family & friends, outcasts from the
community, and emotionally down. “Life consists mainly of the storm of
thoughts that is forever through one’s head”- Mark Twain
Our mindset
makes the difference and determines our mental well-being. Our minds are too
busy and complex for us to comprehend. Mind is also critical and does not
let us make the right decisions. Most of us are at the crossroads of
our lives victimized by our emotions thinking about which direction to go.
Our minds are often clouded with uncertainty and confusion.
Conversely,
our mind seldom looks like a rainbow, radiating its rays, shining and creative.
It's in our hands to keep our minds alive. Let's set our minds to
ponder worthy thoughts to celebrate minds radiating light.
How can we
protect ourselves from falling into this pit of self-destruction and the
onslaught of toxic, harmful thoughts that come from within and around us? God
can protect and renew our minds, making them creative, and powered with
positive thoughts. All that we need to do is to make Him known. Let positivity
push us forward. "Life is like a bicycle. To keep your balance, you
must keep moving." — Albert Einstein
Let us be
determined to challenge ourselves to keep our minds
healthier and stronger.
