Lizzie Sargent blog on “Top Self-Help Techniques” was a remarkable article that allows to guide someone to a much betterment in their mental health. The first of “Writing things down” is the oldest technique that allows your mind to switch off your daily worries or to get things off your chest. Abraham Lincoln used the very same technique during the civil war. Being “more mindful” is another powerful tool can be used by an individual rather than using an intervention. The concept of mindfulness is about focusing on the “here and now” and keeping yourself in the moment. This can help someone with anxiety who are constantly worrying about the future and the past. “Taking responsibility” is one topic every person should read once in a while. We all have trouble taking responsibility of our actions and we struggle carrying them with us. Taking responsibility for how we think and feel will help us change how we respond to our mood.

“Change your surrounding” the most important of all ten techniques in my opinion. We are all terrified of change because we fear of the unknown. We have be used to our own comfort and change will include uprooting our life pattern. We are going to have to change friends, jobs, location, mood, and so on. It is very much work and many people resist because of what they are letting go knowing full well it is toxic. I enjoyed reading this article as it reflects so much of what I am trying to teach to others about mental health. You must take care of yourself first and for most. Never be afraid of change as with change we can predict the future. I really hope many people read, not only this article but many that are out there. We are here to help. You are not alone.
