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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
