Let’s take an example of a tree to understand life better. A tree has 3 essential parts –

• Roots
• Trunk
• Crown

Roots are not seen but the tree stands on them. The stronger and deeper the roots are, the tree would even stand strong. Even a Storm, gale, or hurricane cannot damage the tree if the roots are deeper.

Comparably, if we have strong roots we cannot get harmed by anyone. Our success and luxury are seen by people. They can see how well we live, what gadgets we use, which car we drive, and which brand we wear; but there are many unseen things in everyone’s life which.

Similarly, the roots are hidden and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Our worries, thoughts, feelings, sadness, anxiety, what our hearts feel inside, can’t be seen by anyone.

Let me share a story to illustrate more about Mental Health First Aid

A guy named Rajveer purchased a new bungalow in a posh area of the town. He invited his best friend Arjun to come for lunch. Arjun accepted the invite and visited him the next day.

Rajveer traveled him around his bungalow showing him the luxurious house which included a pool inside, king-sized rooms, a big hall, a small gym, and some other amenities.

For lunch, the chef prepared a spread appetizing buffet with some starters along with soup, salad, 3-4 main course dishes, and yummy desserts to top it off. The food was well prepared and increased Arjun’s appetite. They conversed over lunch.

Now Arjun asked for permission to take a leave. Suddenly, Arjun was shocked to the core seeing his friend Rajveer crying.

Arjun asked him to sit and have a sip of water. He consoled Rajveer and asked, “what happened my friend?” These weren’t the tears of joy or happiness, these were the tears of agony and pain.

Well, it is said that tears of joy are cold but the tears of pain are warm.

Arjun kept on enquiring and with a heavy heart, Rajveer told him that his wife had filed papers for divorce. He loved her and the children. Rajveer said he tried his best to work out things but all went in vain. This, unfortunately, was the worst unseen part of his life that no one could ever know.

People from outside could only see his big lavish bungalow with the servants inside, his money, and other luxuries. no one knew what he was going through from the inside.

The crown and the trunk are visible to everyone but the roots are hidden deep inside. To make the tree strong, the roots need to strengthen.

To make the trunk and the crown grow well with fresh leaves, flowers and fruits you need to make the roots be strong and grow well.
If the roots are shaking, the trunk will be wobbly. As a result, a storm, hurricane, a cyclone can affect and shake it and may uproot it sometimes.

How do you determine your true wealth? What will you do to see it?

Count on the relationships, they cannot be brought from money. You may be blessed by your parents, relationships, and loved ones, and see when you cry how many hands come forward to wipe up your tears.

Hence, strengthen your roots. Roots get strengthened by connecting with all the powers that make you positive from the inside. Connection with yourself is very important which can be gained through Meditation, Yoga, and Prayers.

Connecting with people is imperative too. You are truly blessed if you have people to pour your heart out to.

Reading out the recent unpleasant incident of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput gave us a few life lessons.

Remembering him, all I can say is;

“Don’t let others take control of you”. It’s YOUR LIFE others won’t decide how you should react, feel, or do any piece of shit you wish to do.

We can’t control what others say, but we can control ourselves and how we react to it. In nutshell, their behavior is their choice and our reaction is our choice.

You Must Know: Why Is Mental Health Considered A Taboo Around The Globe?

Late Sushant Singh Rajput once shared a tweet:

It’s really okay if you are depressed: our dearest Sushant Singh Rajput used to say this. It’s okay if you are a Man and you cried out loud!

We Indians generally say that “Real Men don’t cry”. How far do you think it is true? Why do we need to say this?

Is there a difference between a man’s heart and a woman’s heart?

We talk about gender equality, so let’s not become a gender stereotype and let men also pour their hearts out, they have emotions too.

To all the men reading out there, it is OK to CRY, you have the equal right to it and take out your emotions just like any other human being. By crying you are not any less of a real man.

If someone criticizes you, demoralizes you, deject you, or pulls you down; that’s their opinion and choice. All you have to do is, IGNORE THEM!

Have you heard about Anger Management?

When someone disagrees with you, disrespects you, doesn’t do as you say, someone who is abusive, one who lies to you; do you fume?

If yes, then congratulations! You are a normal human being and have good Mental Health! This happens with every normal being but hold on here, how you react to such situations, and control your anger actually makes you a perfect human being.

Anger is a strong emotion that you need to have strong control over and settle down.
