To live a healthy and prosperous life, it's very essential to understand the state of mind. I am not stating this, many types of research said that a healthy mind always leads to a healthy lifestyle. Now the key question is how to deal with mind state or mental situations. We are human and definitely, we have emotions more or less, some of us have anxiety issues, some have issues of overthinking but I feel no matter what is the situation or consequences, it's very important to have control over your mind.
For example, when I was a teenager I was too emotional and I used to overthink a lot. Easily I used to become excited, stressed out, and moreover, I had a temper issue. So overall, my teenager was a mess but after a certain period of time when I realized the goal of my life, I started working on my own mental status.
The changes didn't happen overnight, it took years. It's not easy to become sensible, you have to work hard to take your own charge. Current generation I feel so hyperactive and emotional. I sometimes feel they are reckless and easily teenagers now do mistakes. Our generation was different and obviously, there is no comparison between these two generations, but the present world is different and you can't easily understand a teenager. I feel bonding is nowadays loosening slowly and distance creates easily between a kid and parents.
As a parent of two kids, I and my wife, both had a difficult time. My daughter had an anxiety issue and she had to deal with schizophrenia. That was the darkest part of our lives and we had to go through a lot. We were young parents and we had no idea what to do. But when we started working on her it helped. We gave her affection and attention which she deserved and also therapy helped her a lot.
She had recovered gradually though many patients don't recover at all. That time I and my wife, both had to be mentally strong and at that moment we understand how much mental control is needed for us. Those days are gone but the lesson stayed with us and yes, we taught our daughter too.
I think it's very important to give the proper lessons on values to our kids. They are our eternity and our future generation depends on them. If we guide them properly then they will be able to guide their generation too. After all, we will be able to build a great futuristic society.
