To all those watching this video for their mental health, in case no one tells you today, just know you’re not alone (a lot of us are here for the same reasons) and you’re doing an amazing job getting on top of your mental health. And you should be proud of yourself for doing so. I hope you have an amazing day, and know we’re all here with you :)

"The power of peace is always within you" what a great quote 👌🏻👏🏻

Best tip for myself so far was SLEEP and taking a break from the phone. Also focusing more on self-care. Love yourself and your body, you only live once 💕

She is right...about when we are stressed we mentally preoccupied with ourself. Nothing else matters.

I’ve had social anxiety, Panic attacks, and insecurities for half of my life. I feel as is life isn’t worth living sometimes and it’s hard to think positive. But I am doing my hardest to find the lighter side to life. I am a mother of 2. One 6 and the other 3. They are happy, loving and positive children. Sometimes I can’t believe they are my babies they are so happy and they love me for me. This is why I am here. To find support and guidance to become better and love myself.

Is anyone here just going through the motions and feeling so alone in such a big world? Are you feeling stuck and lost as if you don’t know the next step to take ?

I wish all of you to live in a beautiful state, hugs from me.

Absolutely beautiful, I was fully of anxiety, hate and pain, I’ve always been selfish and self centered. Immediately I felt the energy in my heavy heart release, when I started thinking about others around me and my community of friends and family, I still have some work to do but this sent me in the right direction.

I came across this today and it was really needed. I’m currently being evicted from my place as landlord is selling and there is a housing crises in my country so no places to go so I’m facing homelessness, I’ve just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis,found a lump and I felt like I hit rock bottom. I felt like giving up. But listening to this amazing woman explaining as to why I’m staying in this stressful state it made sense. All I was thinking about was what was going wrong for me and not looking around at what everyone else is going through and when I stopped and did I suddenly felt not so alone. In a strange way I finally felt hope. So thank you. This may very well have saved my life. And I truly hope it can do the same for anyone who is feeling this way. ❤

Very powerful speech! It is so true that many of us get caught up in "me, me, me" when we are going through a hard time. This is when we should be aware of how many people are having so many more problems than us, are truly suffering. I was feeling down a few weeks ago but I went to a fast-food coffee shop to buy gift cards for homeless people, if I met any through my day. I can't believe how happy I was the day that I bought them, I feel we need to be more selfless.

In the middle of this speech, I started to tell my mom about how I am not able to focus on things and sentences people say and my mom said: "it's your psychological problem you are always so focused on what is happening and how you are reacting to it or how much of stress something in bringing to you." I was angry that her words were just hurtful to me and felt uncompassionate. Them Mrs Preethi came to the self-centric preoccupied part. I am blown here I confess I was always regretting the things that happened to me and the situations life put me into and all the wants and unsuccessful works..but now I am after the meditation know what being present means and allowing myself to do what is right and needful at the time to focus on.
