  1. Just keep doing what you're doing. Americans, it's working… L0L

  2. Today is Mental Health Awareness Month, unfortunately every month should have a day to talk about this topic because it is so important. We all experience anxiety and stress to some degree, it is simply an integral part of life in this chaotic society, and when you realize that it is not a matter of the challenging thoughts that the problems of today's society carry, but rather the question of how we will control them, my life has changed since I went through the guide from Manifest Zen. You don't need to treat the consequences, but the what cause the consequences

  3. I do a movement for a movement 😊

  4. All Serious mental health disorders that did not exist from birth are demonic in nature. I Had Severe Bi Polar with hallucinations and Schitzofrenic symptoms until the day I put on King Solomons Ring. Since I have been wearing King Solomons ring, I have had ZERO mental Health Problems other than being the victem of a satanic Phy Ops.

  5. For good mental health i stay around with positive people and the people whom i love to spend my time. I stay away from people whom i dont like. By trying this i became happier in life. Try this for your good mental health and thanks me later😅

  6. I guess the most important question is to find the real cause of the problem rather than finding solution, talking about tectonic level shifts

  7. This was so helpful, thank you so much!

  8. I just got done punching my self in the head seen white now my head is swollen

  9. Remember ! most effective thing against mental health is islam ,true and strong belief
    ALLAH can help u ,heal u .try once u will be out of it

  10. “Man… that last line hit hard. I just made a video around this exact emotion. Been thinking about it all day.”

  11. 1am April 8th 2025… You're Helpful thank you sir 🫶🏽🤍

  12. I was feeling very stressed a few moments ago, but after following his advice—that movement is the cure for stress—I immediately did some squats and faked a smile. Now, I feel much better. thank you for sharing.

  13. Money is essential for your mental health trust me

  14. Mental health is so misunderstood. Mental Revival Code by Lunethos explains things in a way that finally made sense to me—life-changing book

  15. Easily forgotten wisdom that needs to be implemented in our routines. Ingrained habits will overcome life’s way of throwing you on an inactive path.

  16. Peace, and truth be with all in Jesus Christ, the only name given under heaven where men must find salvation.. Amen

    The bible tells all of this world and what mental health, it is mankind possessed by demons, mostly all anymore, for those in Christ they know, not many few, demons only get stronger and never leave without Christ, people that love to worship self, devils well… that what happens to them "LOST" As Christ told 'the thief'… those who do Satan work, the thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy,
    It' is the full reality we live in, people will chase their shadow all their lives never knowing why, seeking aliens/ really demons that never help in anyway, SATAN has lied to all of us all our lives, Jesus told there is no truth in him, and when you sell you soul to him you are then one and the same, nothing good in you, and you wont know either way, you mind is his then, blinded, lost, damned…man is so arrogant they rather burn than hear the truth and the truth is in Christ Jesus only.

  17. Can confirm. I’m 23 and just quit vaping, smoking, and drinking entirely unless I’m out with friends on an occasional basis. I don’t feel the need for those things since I started going outside more, shooting hoops, running, anything physical! Felt better after a 2 hour bb session by myself than I ever did puffing on anything or drinking anything. And also feel my goals becoming more clear and also not as anxious and depressed!

  18. Love this! Solid insight and advice! So many pieces of our mental health are things we can have a positive impact on through the things we input into our body, through exercise, and through regulated health sleep.
