Rethink Mental Attitudes
Rethink Your Mental Attitudes
by
Stephen Lau
Your health is dependent on your mental habits acquired in childhood, that is, your attitudes. Your emotional reactions strongly affect your immune system, circulatory system, and, most importantly, your brain - they all control your overall well-being.
Your attitudes develop your health cognitions and form your health behaviors. Therefore, mental attitudes play a pivotal role in your major depression.
Adopting the health-seeking attitude
According to a study, consumers who sought out healthy lifestyle information on the Internet were more health conscious and more health-information oriented than those other consumers who did not seek out health information.
Remember, seek and you shall find. You don't have to look any further. YOU have got all the answers to your major depression: they are all within yourself. They are all in your mind!
Adopt a health-seeking mental attitude to find out everything you need to know about major depression.
Abandoning the magic-bullet attitude
There is no magic bullet, and there are no miracle cures. Seeking a magic bullet only exacerbates and perpetuates your major depression.
Why is a magic bullet bad for your mental health, or your overall health, for that matter?
· Looking for a magic bullet is essentially giving away your problems to a health expert. Remember, it is your problems - someone else can only “help” you solve your problems but cannot solve the problems for you.
· Looking for a quick fix, you are, in fact, giving up your role and responsibility in managing your major depression. Not recognizing your role and responsibility in life is one of the underlying causes of mental illness.
· Looking for a panacea will end up in taking more depression medications, making your body more toxic and recovery more difficult.
Remember, there are no miracle cures. You hold the cure in your own hands. Recovery lies in your mental attitudes.
Aborting the procrastination attitude
You may have the best doctor, the best medications, the best therapist, but you need the persistence and perseverance to follow the doctor’s advice, to take the medications, and to go and talk to the therapist.
Unfortunately, this is what is lacking in many patients with major depression. They know the way, but they do not have the will. Remember, major depression is a disease of the mind. It is not something you can overcome with the willpower. If they had the willpower, they would not be sick in the first place.
Depression is also a result of behavioral problems. Behavior is habit-forming. Therefore, you must learn to develop mental attitudes to remove those bad habits or behavioral problems that may have contributed inadvertently to your major depression. With the right mental attitudes, you can eradicate your behavioral problems to remove your major depression.
Procrastination
One of the most devastating habits is procrastination. It is human nature to procrastinate. We all procrastinate. Procrastination is due to mental anticipation of the difficulties in the process and the unpleasantness of the outcome of an action. Procrastination is detrimental to mental health. This is more so in individuals with major depression. But is inertia or inaction a result of - or a cause of - mental depression?
Behavior therapy will benefit individuals who wish to overcome procrastination.
Stop Procrastination Today is an excellent source of strategies strategically designed to eliminate procrastination forever.
Start living the life you choose instead of the life that “just happens.” There is a big difference between knowing what to do and doing what you know.
The only things you will regret in your life are the things you never did.
Do not be one of the procrastinators who spend their whole lives postponing what they "should do" and in doing that they never get to do what they "want to do."
Do not let procrastination be one of the biggest "dream killers" in your life. Your inability to take action slowly eats away your self-esteem. When you finally decide and take action, you will immediately feel a sense of accomplishment and that feeling is what builds massive self-esteem, which is crucial to your fight against major depression.
Do not let procrastination leave you feeling hopeless and helpless, and, after depleting your emotional strength, make you feel totally depressed.
Rethink mental attitudes
Let your mind control your body, and not the other way around. The mind cannot be separated from the body. What you feed your mind is as important as what you feed your body. Your mind affects your health as much as your body does, in particular, in major depression. Rethink your mental attitudes.
Rethink health attitude
Feed your mind with the right attitude towards mental health. If you are paranoid, admit your paranoia. Sticking your head in the sand will not do your head any good.
If you keep on doing what you have been doing all your life, you will continue to be what you have been for the rest of your life.
Rethink the magic bullet
There are no miracle cures. You are the healer. Do something about your life. It is YOUR life, and only YOU can change it, not someone else, not your doctor, not your therapist, and not your spouse, especially if you do not listen to him or her.
Rethink procrastination
Do something about your procrastination, and do it NOW. Sir Walter Scott once said: The three greatest letters in the English alphabet are N-O-W.
Even Stop Procrastination Today will not be able to help you if you procrastinate in getting and reading it.
Rethink your mental attitudes!
