Mental Health.

Psychology Today has an interesting article dealing with methods of cultivating one's mind.

Some of this stuff I find interesting, and some I don't. What I do agree with here is the idea that through careful cultivation, a person can gain conscious control over the workings of the mind. Very few people truly work toward understanding the interior of their own minds, preferring to leave major decisions in life to reactive impulse rather than a well thought out philosophical stance, and allowing their brains to go to pulp rather than practicing a strict and well disciplined regimen of mental exercise. Mental health, like physical health, requires a measure of daily effort, but isn't as difficult as one might believe.
