“What does your anxiety do? It does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but it empties today of its strength. It does not make you escape the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it if it comes.” ~ Raymond Cramer
According to the definition of mental health, it is the psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioural adjustment. The term “mental hygiene” was invented in the mid 19th century, and it implied maintaining peace of mind even in the midst of turmoil or incidents that would constrain or devastate its energy, quality or growth.
Only few people claim to have maintained perfect mental health throughout their life. The concept of maintaining a balanced mind seems impossible to most of us, but desired by everybody. Clustered thoughts and the inflow and outflow of matter and material in the mind lead to a battlefield in our system. Sometimes, we all know our way to peace but the mind is unable to let go of the perplexed matter.
