Active Minds
An active mind is a good mind! 😉 I just recently joined a student group called “Active Minds”, you may think we sound like the mathletes….(which I really would join) , but actually we are a student organization on campus dedicated to “eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness.” Basically in English, that means that we try to make people realize that it isn’t a bad thing to get help if you are feeling stressed or depressed or anything else that involves your mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health, but it is often not discussed or not taken into account. There is also a false notion that seeking help is “weird” or somehow not cool. I find this to be absolutely ridiculous. I consider myself to be in good mental health, but I still see a counselor here at the University on a regular basis. The service is free and they can really help you manage your stress and many other aspects of your life. The point is, seek help when you need it, don’t wait. Work towards a more active mind!
