Do you have a pencil and paper and an hour or two to do yourself a huge favor?
Mental health, getting healthier, than you already may be will require determined effort. Here are some questions to consider and things worth doing to stimulate yourself toward greater or higher functioning than you currently enjoy….
What do you want? What kind of person do you want to be? What are you going to do with your life?
Take a few months to answer the 3 above questions in written form.
Review your responses and update it regularly. Things change, we change, life has quite a different look as we go from stage to stage and age to age.
Become an expert in your behavior – not your wife’s or husband’s or children’s, or in-laws’ – and focus solely upon improving your level of functioning within your many areas of involvement and influence.
Try to get “above” all of your important networks and entanglements in order to think them through.
Try to act upon your insights so you have greater freedom in each of your relationships.
As you are thinking things through, take no sides with or against anyone. Have no victims to blame and create no heroes.
If you do all this with a few pieces of lined paper you will ultimately participate in writing yourself towards greater wellness.
