On Second Thoughts

On Second Thoughts A chance to become a better version of yourself through psychotherapy, and a little bit of fun.

The current social conditions – those which are reported and those which go unreported, only affirm the belief in the apathetic state of community mental health. Not only has the cultural fold weakened in our societal makeup, but it has almost almost nullified, leading to a host of problems on an individual level. Syndromes affecting an individual are consequently affecting the society at a deeper and greater level. Though it may seem that progress is taking place at an exceedingly amazing pace, man is only becoming numb, inherently. The need for mental health awareness and importantly, a support system consisting of social workers and professionals is hence required. With the basic objective of spreading awareness about the need for mental health, we aim to hold workshops, conferences, community/group-based learning tools and methods, focus groups, meet-ups, and work on strategic development in terms of communal support and growth.

Self-management is the ability to prioritize goals, decide what must be done, and be accountable to complete the necessary actions. Comprehensive self-management involves four realms: physical, mental, social, and spiritual.

While doing all this isn't easy, one can definitely try and approach the task, step by step. Here are some easy steps one can take towards self management.

As a contemporary monk, Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology.

“The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi.

If we find ourselves clouded by any of these five hindrances, Master Yi encourages us to let it R.A.I.N, which I have summarized here.

Do you find this interesting to implement in your daily life? How will you be doing so?

There's a huge difference between just feeling better and actually getting better. Do not confuse one with the other as actually getting better isn't something that happens instantly. It needs one to do a lot of inner work, have perseverance and take actual effort to set up realistic goals and achieve them.

Make sure you realise the difference between the two states of mind and if you want to know more, connect with me on onsecondthoughts.in@gmail.com

We spend most of our waking lives either mulling over the past or worrying about the future.

But the key is to live in the moment by not letting the past shadow you or letting the future reel you in.

More often than not we feel that our life is spiraling out of control and that most situations are not in your control.

But we need to realize that as long as we have control over our emotions, we own our power, we can turn our lives around.

Most of us seek external approval and spend most of our time in doing so, by living up to others' expectations.

However, it is important to know that we don't know answers to anyone but our own selves as our life is our journey alone and therefore no one else can fully understand us.

Most of our problems emerge when we are in denial about the fact that we are responsible for our own life and actions.

But the minute we start assuming responsibility for our life, most problems start to fade away as we become comfortable with our own selves.

Don't let someone else's fears and insecurities stop you from getting what you want.

Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot do something. Most people tell you that you cannot do something out of their own fear of failure and incapabilities.

So, if you want something, go, get it. Trust yourself and your inner voice.

A lot of us end up trudging down this road of making others happy. It’s what is called ‘seeking external approval’.

We want others to affirm us as nice, good, happy people and we try really hard to become that – at times, against our own core values and beliefs.

In really close relationships, this goes a step further where we end up changing ourselves in order to make our families or friends happy. But we end up missing out on our own happiness.

The problem with most of us is that we are incapable of taking ownership for our actions, values and beliefs. And this is what eventually leads to lack of confidence.

When we start taking responsibility for our feelings and our actions, we can work towards creating a strong belief and value system. And this is what will lead to a strong sense of self-worth.
