Thank you. I really thought it would be immediately understood. I found some definitions. "a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of a mental disorder.[1][2] From the perspective of 'positive psychology' or 'holism', mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.[1] Mental health can also be defined as an expression of emotions, and as signifying a successful adaptation to a range of demands." "psychological and emotional well-being." Good mental health is a sense of wellbeing, confidence and self-esteem. It enables us to fully enjoy and appreciate other people, day-to-day life and our environment. When we are mentally healthy we can: form positive relationshipsuse our abilities to reach our potentialdeal with life’s challengesSome areas I find I need to work on is doing what I have to do instead of procrasinating. I often obsess or compulsive think about a topic long after doing so is useful, and even then I may not take action, or I'll be unable to come to a decision because I'm obsessing over every little possible permutation of action and their every little consequence. I have trouble sometimes talking to new people because I don't feel worthy. I especially don't feel comfortable socializing with girls because I feel like I have nothing to even talk to them about, and that they would have no reason to want to talk to me. I have sometimes issues with getting out of bed. Sometimes I feel anxious or stressed overly. Sometimes I don't think I'm enjoying things as I should, or don't feel much reward from doing well or achieving values. I feel like I should have done better or that what I'm doing of not of much significance. I think I am often far too serious-minded. I can't just go with the flow or enjoy the moment like many other people. I'm too lax sometimes on myself and other times I'm far too harsh. Haven't you ever met someone who is just so relaxed, chill and happy with themselves, and who doesn't have a hard time making decisions and enjoying life? They are in touch with what they want, who they are, their purpose, their passions, they don't second guess themselves, and so on. There is no inner conflict. Their psychologly is healthy. Everything about them is inline. They do not care about what others think of them, and so on. Just a very psychologically health person. It's hard for me to come up with the complete concept as I thought it was something everyone immediately understood. Unless everyone else is completely mentally healthy from birth and it's just me who feels out of whack. Since you're "enjoying life" just what is the problem? --Brant read Branden last big book, The Six Pillars of Self Esteem It says 'interests', I'm interested in enjoying life. That doesn't mean I do it perfectly all the time. It means that's an interest of mine. Interest meaning "something that concerns, involves, draws the attention of, or arouses the curiosity of a person." I will have to delve completely into that book since I've found the parts I've read/listened to quite good. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about trying to find. I thought there would be other stuff concerning ones wider mental health or efficacy.
