Life decisions.

As many of you may have guessed by now, mental health is very important to me and it makes me feel really sad when young adults have to make huge decisions about their life choices when they have hardly experienced enough of life to know what they want and need.
Based on my own experiences, this year has proven to be a real educational struggle, I found it extremely difficult to pass my driving test and even harder to get into Uni.
But one of the most important things that all this has taught me is that I am passionate about mindfulness and well being. Even in the midst of all these doubts and hardships there is one thing that will always stand out to me as the most important- mine and my families health.
Just be thankful for your health even if you think there is nothing else to praise. Be thankful that you can do something with your life purely because you are living. Be thankful that you have not messed up so badly that it resulted in your life being taken, because as long as we are living we can do things, little things or really big things, things that just make us and the people that matter to you...happy.
I always get lost in my thoughts which is why my posts seem like I'm rambling but I want people to understand how important it is that your brains thinks and acts healthily. This is why I believe that mental health awarness and practice should be made compulsory on the national curriculum. Methods to help people understand why they may get stressed, methods to help people cope in tough situations, methods that allow people to train their brain to think differently allowing them to become more beneficial to them. These methods are just as important as learning about maths or science. You cannot succeed in educational practices without having a healthy mind also. It is so important that children learn from a young age how to control their thoughts and emotions to benefit them and keep them healthy. There are so many social anxities now that I really dont think children of the future are going to be able to cope without learning these practices to ensure that they have a healthy mindset which is what's needed to make crucial decisions that will impact their future.
I will always do my best to make people see how good it is to teach others about mindfullness but at the same time I am a hypocrite. I hardly ever practice what I preach but I am learning and I want to teach others that too. I want to teach children that mindfulness is a vital way of modern life... and I hope that one day in the future this world will let me.
