When you think of the phrase creating healthy habits

for yourself, you probably think of eating healthy,

These are all great things to do for your physical health,

Keeping a healthy mind is just as important

as keeping a healthy body, because one can easily

If you wanna know more about good mental health habits,

Number one, you are in control of your emotions.

Did a recent argument with a friend leave you feeling hurt

Have your parents ever told you that you need

when you thought you were doing a good job already?

In both of these situations, it's understandable

that you may feel upset, anxious, annoyed,

Feeling these kinds of emotions doesn't make you weak,

It's when you don't allow those negative emotions

to take control of you, that makes you mentally strong.

For example, while arguing with your friend,

and chose to keep calm even though you were upset

Or maybe when you're sad, you don't let that heaviness

drag you down and keep you from moving forward.

You try to move past your emotional hurdles.

In doing so, you're able to calmly process them

and work through them leaving you with the ability

to respond to most situations with a clear head.

Number two, you question your thoughts and beliefs.

How does questioning thoughts and beliefs

When you think critically about your thoughts and beliefs

there's so much information to take in and explore.

This can be overwhelming when you're trying to keep up

with what's true and what's lies, or what's just a rumor.

It can be really easy to blindly accept everything you hear

Mentally strong people make a habit of questioning

or thinking critically about things they come across.

Whether it's something a close family member told them

Questioning things that you read or hear gives you a reason

and gives you the opportunity to learn about

And would you like to do something in particular

Or maybe you've always wanted to experience

an Ivy League education without the commitment.
