Are You Mentally Healthy?

Mental Health is an important dimension of health, because the state of mind
immediately affects the physical body's processes. Mental health is not
merely the absence of psychological disease but also the balanced
development of an individual's personality and emotional attitudes which
enable him to live peacefully and harmoniously with his fellow-beings.

To know if you are mentally healthy or not, answer the following questions:

1. Are you always worrying?
2. Are you unable to concentrate because of unrecognized reasons?

3. Are you continuously unhappy without any particular reason?

4. Do you lose your temper easily and often?

5. Do you have wide fluctuations in your moods from depression to happiness,
back to depression, which weaken you?
6. Are you troubled by regular insomnia (sleeplessness)?
7. Do you continuously dislike being with people?
8. Are you upset if the routine of your life is disturbed?
9. Do your children consistently get on your nerves?
10. Are you irritable quite often and constantly bitter?
11. Are you afraid without any particular reason?
12. Do you feel that you are always right and other people always wrong?
13. Do you have numerous physical aches and pains for which no doctor can
find a physical cause?

The conditions explained in these questions and in the ones mentioned
yesterday are the major warning signals of poor mental health in one degree
or another. Help is necessary if the answer to any of these questions is
definitely 'yes'.

Spiritually based positive thinking helps one to attain the highest level of
emotional balance and remain mentally healthy.
