Simple and practical

"I grew up listening to Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s call in radio show. As a teenager, I’d tune in on Sunday nights and listen to Dr. Ruth answer all manner of sexual questions. One main point in each answer was clear. You must take responsibility for your own satisfaction.

It’s not a huge leap to apply her attitude towards our mental health. Too often we look for others to solve our problems, provide fulfillment or soothe us when we’re stressed and anxious. If we’re constantly looking for others to solve our problems and manage our mental health, we’re likely to spend a lot of time frustrated, stressed and anxious."

Very Simple practical advice--Take an active, rather than passive, approach to solving problems; Manage your environment; Engage in healthy daily habits; Notice when you are stuck.
