WHAT'S PSYCHOLOGY
Some basic knowledge about Psychology
MENTAL HEALTH
Little bit information about mental health I would like to share. I hope it can be useful to all of us.
MENTAL HEALTH?
What is mental health?
WHO said, "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community"
Mental health is more than the absence of Mental Illness.
How much do you know about your own potential? Can you cope with your surroundings? Are you able to make a contribution and appreciate even the tiny bit of them?
From now on, let's be more aware of our mental health. One way to increase it is by reaching out to those we trust.
​
"Brave enough to talk,
Care enough to listen".

A REMINDER
slow down.
soften your forehead,
unclench your jaw,
relax your shoulder,
loosen your grip,
and take a deep breath.

SELF-COMPASSION
Self-compassion is how we see ourself, how we treat ourself after we did a mistakes or in a negative situations. How we can understand ourself that we are human are imperfect, always do mistakes and have failure.
Self-compassion is related to mental health. In fact, they helped us through bad time by being kind to ourself and not judging and criticize our mistakes too hard, understand that we as a human have mistakes and by being mindful - not overreacting in a negative situations.
Self-compassion is not about being narcistic or ignoring our mistakes. They are about how we forgive ourself and move on from our mistakes. Of course, evaluating is fine but you can't turn back the time. So, forgive yourself and let go.
POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH
Have you ever stumble upon a very stressful situation where it just change yourself to a whole different person?
​
A heartbreak, the loss of loved one, bullies, and other thing that you perceived as stressful (it's all valid!). But instead of having a trauma, you become this strong and mature person. Yes, that is what we call as post-traumatic growth. Where it might haunt you all the time, you learn to befriend them and learn. Believe me, we as a human have the capacity to do it. We are fragile indeed, but invincible.
​
It's okay to be sad or terrified of your trauma. Accept however you feel and take a deep breath. Let's walk with it, learn from it, and move forward. The trauma eventually change from aterrifying monster to this wiseful old grandpa who taught us a lot.
