Being in good mental health and reducing your stress is what’ll allow your body to focus on the important shit such as carrying oxygen across your body, keeping your heart rate low, and prevent your growth from being stunted, prevent you from gaining weight easily, or from your acne flaring up.
while it is likely that most of not all of the softmaxxes you do are helping with this (working out, eating healthy, stretching) they can only go so far if you don’t have a reason to keep going other than “muh ascension”. Better yet, if you have a good enough base, softmaxxing and good mental won’t need any hardmaxx whatsoever.
Learning about the world, picking up new books, tv shows, even fucking visual novels(Umineko is my personal rec
)are easy ways to improve your mental state.
Picking up Hobbes, socializing, and potentially getting into relationships are a huge step, but they are the most pivotal. If you’re still in school, then stick with these by joining clubs or sports teams(they pick anyone to join sports so don't worry about being shit at it) and be ACTIVE IN THEM. You don’t have to be the most integral member or the best player on the team, but learning and joining in with the culture of the club and team will help you feel wanted, and build relationships that will last at least until the end of the year.
whats more important is that you limit yourself from sources that make you feel negative. This means to delete twitter, limit your time on social media since it rewards content that is made to make you angry, and potentially limit BP content or threads, since while they are important, it’s not easy to stomach and can potentially be over exaggerated for more engagement.
I know this entire thread is water, but staying in the right mental state is something I see a worrying amount of people on this site struggle with, so I want to do my best to help.
