>Well, Ms. @joanstewart, that's a sensitive question, which I can't generically explain. In my case, because of the family history I have, cancer and mental health, of my parents. Because although compared to the side of many people in my family, I am the most sane and prepared person to survive and move on. Of course, in my inner self, there is always doubt. Will I be able to become like my mother, or like my father? Both elderly with Alzheimer's, and I am a breast cancer survivor, as is my mom. By the way, in the edition of this contest 261, last week, I made a post, about my breast cancer experience in the pink month 🩷. At the end of this post I share the link, thanks for reading. I also think that in a world of constant change, where the challenge of this modern and technological era is to learn to get bored, I have learned to stay still, doing nothing for a while, besides being able to let go of technology and look inward, or sometimes not even that, when analyzing it, I try as much as possible to just stay quiet and in the presence of the moment, settling for the simple, with what is, once and for all, and accepting the moment, observing my breathing 🫁 and feeling the heartbeat, it's like bringing "Moderna my home." It is also true, that that mind in alert mode, futuristic that *something is going to happen, or *if I don't do it I will miss the opportunity*, tires, exhausts or frustrates. On the other hand, multitasking and anxiety are the result of this modern era, which asks our brain for something it is not capable of doing like *Being the Almighty God, who can trigger many things at once*. Moderna And then the collapse comes because our brain is full of dopamine. Without a doubt, one has to work because this is how one gets the money to pay the bills, feed ourselves, and ensure our well-being. Therefore, I have learned to dose my work time vs rest of 10 minutes every hour. My human body, like everyone's, is not made for sitting, but for walking, moving and being very functional. In fact, there are people who have wanted to hurt me...and I have been "innocently" asked the question: and aren't you afraid of going crazy, do you have that in your genes??? It no longer bothers me or makes me reactive, because it is something that is integrated into my being. It is the good thing that I have learned from so many functional, playful and altruistic activities that I practice. When one surfs those waves in life, and one feels like *finally, I made it*, the taste of victory is good and gives me a lot of well-being.Sometimes, changes do not mean a setback but a moment of renewal. >Our mind always protects us. It is always possible, through becoming aware to start changing the way we think and start changing those catastrophic thoughts into healthier, real and constructive thoughts. It's giving us permission to hope for the best. Faced with an exaggerated, hyper demanding life, full of comparisons, where we are so surrounded and so lonely at the same time makes us susceptible to deteriorating our mental health, therefore, taking care of the mind is as important as taking care of our body and soul. The care is daily to avoid it being an emergency. Personally, I go to therapy once a month, it's an act of self-love. ___ ___ https://ecency.com/hive-124452/@janitzearratia/loh261-or-or-about-the Janitze.🐝
