The Journey to Mental Wellness in a Busy World.....

 We all care deeply about our physical health, even for a common cold, we seek medical advice. But when our ''mind'' feels heavy, we often try to hide it without telling anyone. In reality, mental health isn't a disease it's a lifestyle that we all must protect.  

                                                                           Mental health is not about ''madness.'' it includes the happiness, sadness, and stress we feel, as well as how we face life's challenges. For someone with a strong mind, overcoming any obstacle becomes much easier. 



                                                                                                 ​Sometimes, our minds can fall ill without us even realizing it. Take a moment to reflect on these signs: 

                   💥Feeling constantly angry or sad for no apparent reason. ​

                   💥Losing interest in things you once loved doing. 

                   💥Inability to sleep or sleeping excessively.​

​                   💥Trying to distance yourself from society and staying isolated. 

We can try these small things in our daily lives to help: 

                        💫​Communication (Talk it out): Share the pressure in your heart with a trusted friend or family member. Simply talking about a problem brings a huge sense of relief. 

                         💫Limit Social Media usage: Don't compare your life with others' lives. Put your phone aside for at least an hour a day and spend time with nature. ​

                          💫Adequate sleep and nutrition: A good night's sleep and healthy food are essential for our brain's functioning. 

                          💫​Rest (Me-time): Dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to something you love, like listening to a song or reading a book. 

                                                            If you feel a level of pressure that you can no longer bear, visiting a professional counselor or a doctor is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is a sign of your intelligence. 

​                  A beautiful, free mind is far more valuable than a beautiful body. starting today, take a moment to look after your mind too.

My first workshop experience.....

Image
  The first time I went to a workshop in my life was for a program held to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the death of Dr. Jayalath Manorathne. Speaking of that experience, 60 people who were selected for that program had the opportunity to participate. I would like to share with you the experiences I had throughout that journey👊🙂.                                            We were given the dates for the workshop to be held on January 12 th and 13 th . My hometown is Galewela. But the program was at BMICH in Colombo. It was a very difficult journey for me. I and five other friends set out on this journey after much deliberation. We were told to be there by 7 am on the 12 th , so we set out the day before. Colombo is not a place we are very familiar with. We left G...

The shadow who gave wings to a dream that was about to be abandoned....

Image
 Sometimes in life, the things we've dreamed of most come within our reach, yet we find ourselves so mentally exhausted that we feel like giving up. I faced the greatest challenge of my life right after being selected for the University of the Visual and Performing Arts. In those dark moments, when I was ready to walk away from it all, my ''Sudu'' became the light that guided me back, holding my hand firmly.                                                                                                                                                        Even after getting selected, there were times when va...

The Mother I've Never Met, Yet Always Felt..........

Image
 We often believe that a mother's love is bound by blood and the ten months she carries us in her womb. But my life has taught me a different truth- that motherhood is not about biology; It's about a heart that chooses to love you unconditionally.                                                             She is my ''Second Mother''. The most beautiful and perhaps most mysterious part of our bond is this: I have never seen her with my own eyes. We haven't shared a physical space, yet she has occupied the deepest corners of my heart.                                                                                       ...
