How To Maintain A Healthy Mind
Sandy Hounsell

A human being can do immeasurable things in ways that never cease to amaze me. The mind is the most incredible part of the human body. Everything we do is controlled by the mind. It is the most powerful component that runs our world and it has created everything that we have today. So, the next time you underestimate yourself, think about how amazing your mind is and you will never mistrust your capabilities again.

Surely, we cannot function without our minds. Therefore, we are to keep the stress off our minds as much as possible. How long can you hold on to a piece of weight for in one hand without moving your hand? For minutes? For hours? For a day? It does not matter how long you hold on to it for. The point here is that you can’t hold on to it forever because eventually your hand will start to shake and you will let the weight go. Same thing with the stress: The more you hold on to it the more miserable you will feel. We can’t hold on to it forever. The sooner we let go of the stress the more relaxed the mind will be and you will readily move on with life.

Another great feature the mind has is that it leads us to know the truth. The mind is a guide for us and it usually reveals the truth to us, making us aware of what’s going on around us. The mind should not be ignored. Feed it with knowledge and wisdom and if you are a religious person, from any religion, you know better to always ask God to brighten your mind and your soul. Control your thoughts in a way where everything corrupt will seem restored. Don’t let there be a negative thought and when there is a negative thought turn to God and ask him to show you the right way and pray about it because no matter what religion you come from, they all want us to do the right things.

Also, to have a set mind one should avoid contacting with the worldly corruptions. With the media and the internet, it is so easy to engage our minds in dishonored activities. For example, you can watch anything from violence to sexual content on the internet any time of the day. Such views create distractions in the mind, leading it to wanting to engage in such actions. Your mind and your soul deserve to be protected. Don’t let the devil in and avoid watching anything that may have a negative impact on you.

So, when you ever feel lost remember how unique your mind is and keep your mind awake and healthy. Be gentle to your mind and keep away any kind of distractions from it. Have a positive thinking, enjoy life and everything in it. Enhancing your mind with wisdom and good choices will not only decrease the stress but it will also make you realize that you deserve the world and to live this life with a peace of mind.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
