A healthy mind is important. The well-being and happiness of a person depends on a mind that functions normally. So it should be a persons concern to keep his mind healthy. Now my question is these-- What is a healthy mind for you? are you keeping your mind healthy? And how do you keep your mind healthy?

I was on a two weeks travel in middle east asian countries and could hardly log into mylot. But at nights I could, but only a few minutes and missed mylot a lot! Then reaching back Tokyo, I saw your mind question. Exciting new discussion indeed. A healthy mind is one which realize that there are many abnormalities within the mind. That realization is important to keep the mind healthy. Otherwise constant conflict grips the mind and the thought process. If you happened to go through Dr. Eric bern's PAC - Parent Adult Child approach to the mind, it is easier to know what is a healthy mind. Only an 'Adult' part of the mind can understand that we have many abnormalities or weakness within ourselves. The other two type personalities, are in conflict always within themselves and therefore with others as well. Eric bern has explained this theory well in his famous book, 'Games people play', which I have recommended to one of my myLot friend to read. It may take time to understand Eric bern as this concept is something different from what we have learned. But I feel, the state of happiness and healthy mind can well define through PAC state of mind - A mind that says 'I'm OK, You are OK' is always healthy.

Healthy mind for me is it function normally. You don't have any mental disorder and malfunctions. You can think properly and you live without any stress and peaceful. As long as i can i do maintain healthy minds im afraid to lost the balance of it, i make sure that i never think too much about problems which can stress me. I try to relax my mind everyday and eat good foods to maintain it.
