A simple daily routine for better mental health

Most people take care of their physical health automatically, but mental health is often left to chance. That is why having a simple daily routine can make such a difference. Taking a few quiet moments in the morning to reflect on what you want from the day helps create intention instead of reaction. Checking in once or twice during the day keeps you connected to yourself instead of running on autopilot. Ending the day by reflecting honestly and writing down a few things you are proud of builds self respect and strengthens the relationship you have with yourself. This is not about being perfect or productive, it is about learning how to support your own mind consistently. What part of this routine feels like it would help you the most right now?

When you let go, you create space for better things to enter your life

Letting go is difficult because the mind confuses familiarity with safety. Even when something hurts, it can feel easier to hold on than to face the unknown. But growth requires space. When you stop gripping what no longer serves you, you give your nervous system room to settle and your life room to shift. What is one thing you feel ready to release so something better can enter?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

This mindset will save you a lot of anger

It’s easy to take things personally when someone cuts you off, says something sharp, or seems careless. Your mind instantly turns it into an attack and labels them as rude or bad. But think about how many times you have been lost in your own thoughts, stressed, overwhelmed, or dealing with something heavy, and accidentally bumped into someone or said something without thinking. Most people are fighting their own mental battles that you will never see. Practicing understanding instead of reacting does not excuse bad behavior, but it frees you from carrying unnecessary anger. The more you let people be human, the more peace you create for yourself. What helps you pause before reacting when someone triggers you?

Mental illness is not “all in your head.”

1. The American Psychiatric Association defines mental illness the same way it defines heart disease or diabetes: measurable changes in how your brain and body function.

2. Brain scans prove it. Large MRI and fMRI studies find consistent patterns in people with:

Depression (altered activity in mood-regulating networks)

• PTSD (smaller hippocampus and overactive amygdala “fear circuits”)

Anxiety disorders (hyperactive threat-detection)

Schizophrenia (distinct structural and connectivity changes)

These show up across thousands of scans.

3. Mental illness affects the whole body. Studies link depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder with immune changes, inflammation, hormone shifts and metabolic patterns.

4. It’s not “in your head” — it’s in your biology.

Thoughts, trauma, genetics, stress, and environment all shape real, physical brain circuits. Recovery also shows up on brain scans after therapy, medication, and support.

If you’re struggling, you’re not weak, broken, or imagining it. You’re dealing with a legitimate health condition, and help is available.

Not alone who having both autism and bipolar

i guess that I am not alone what I have both diagnosis. I heard that singer Sia and enterpurer Elon Musk have both autism and bipolar. I guess there’s so many famous people who suffered from diagnosed and have their own talents. I feel misunderstood and some people hate me who I am because of my personality and interests that I am into cartoons and fantasy and even wearing t shirts. I don’t understand why I have both of these diagnosis because of running from my family members. I wish I were normal so that everyone will like me. They considered me as broken person. My mom and also some people say it is my fault what I have diagnosed of bipolar because of having mood swings and lack of sleep. I sometimes have trouble in relationship with my ex boyfriend because he did not want me to obey my mom, which made me hurt. My mom told me that he was not good person who he was that was since 5 or 6 years ago. I fell in love with him, but he used on me. I also communicated with therapist to plead him to communicate him, but the security placed me in hospitalisation that is why I have both diagnosis. I was being depressed even though taking medication caused me having side effects such as gaining weight and irregular period. I had different types of medication for several years ago, but now I am on right medication. I wish that my mom should understand and accept me who I am even though she is religious. I don’t think it is my fault what I have. She thought of me possessed by demons. I have like disease of mental. For instance, in Kuwait where populations have diabetes have awareness not mental illness. Usually, they stigmatized me. Not just in Kuwait and even other countries. When I was in class, gay guy did present about being stigmatized in Kuwait where they have lack awareness of mental illnesses, which made me cried who I felt. He said to accept yourself rather than others. He said to me that I shouldn’t not escape out of Kuwait and move to another country because where there is a lot of stigmatized and even being Islamophobic because my religion is Muslim. Even this female student who bullied me when I studied abroad in Vermont. She pushed a table toward me that she made a violence. I wish to stop stigmatized and being Islamophobic where there’s a lot of populations of Muslims and especially political situations where Israelis did genocide in Palestine. I think it is very sad society how they tortured and criticised as human beings even though having different religions and disabilities. Please be aware of those people did harm you and is better to stay away and be alone. Just focus on yourself and wish you a happy holidays

The goal of meditation

Meditation is not about having a quiet mind, it is about learning not to be pushed around by every thought that appears. When you stop fighting your thoughts and start observing them, they lose their power over your emotions and behavior. This shift can change how you experience stress, anxiety, and sadness in everyday life. Have you ever noticed how different a thought feels once you stop believing it automatically?

I had people tell me my life could be a lot worse and that my life will get worse. It would mean the world to me if that isn’t true.

I hope life gets better for me everyday in every way and I hope that for all of you too! I don’t know why people say such mean things. I emailed a model once and told her what I was going through with my mental health journey and her reply was that my life will get worse and worse over the years that she will pray for me. I swear I hope that’s not true because I deserve a life that always continues to get better for me in every way and so do all of you!

What can I do if I am ugly? People are so rude and disrespectful. I hate my face.

I have had so many men call me ugly. I used to go online and pretend to be other attractive pretty girls and when I showed them real pictures of me. I got so many nasty mean remarks thrown to me about my appearance. I know I am not the prettiest girl but at least be nice because I am a GIRL not a fucking boy. I hate the way I look. I can’t even be around an attractive female without being insecure because when a pretty girl walks into the room, they probably would get complimented right away and I never do. I am always by myself and plan on being by myself for the rest of my life. Attractive people piss me off. I don’t like being around them. I was never considered one. When I was little my parents said I looked like a doll and I had so many people say stuff about the way I look saying I am ugly mostly men. Sorry I will never look like Jennifer Lopez and some people probably really wouldn’t understand why I am this way. I really hate my appearance. Maybe if I lost all the weight I wanted and my skin cleared up forever, I would feel a little better about myself but otherwise no. Sometimes I see attractive people in public and just want to punch them. That is not gonna change.

If your mind feels foggy or overwhelmed at work or school, this takes ten seconds and actually helps.

When your mind feels stressed or foggy, it is often because you never truly pause. Staring at screens for hours trains your nervous system to stay tense, even when you think you are pushing through productively. This simple exercise helps reset that pattern by giving your eyes and mind a moment of openness. Every ten minutes, take ten seconds to look at something about ten feet away, not your phone but the space around you. Looking up instead of down creates distance from the task and reminds your mind that what you are working on is not as overwhelming as it feels. Small pauses like this can bring more calm, clarity, and focus than forcing yourself to keep going. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after even a brief break?
