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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
