A Healthy Mind Lyrics by Hilgy

MENTAL HEALTH

2021

[Interlude]
A healthy mind is an editing mind
Partly, this means keeping at bay punitive and critical judgments
That might want to tell us repeatedly how disgraceful and appalling we are
A healthy mind resists the pull of unfair comparisons
It doesn't consistently allow the achievements and successes of others throw to us off course
And reduce us to a state of inadequacy
A healthy mind avoids catastrophic imaginings
A healthy mind has compartments with heavy doors that shut securely
It can compartmentalize where it needs to
Not all thoughts belong at all moments
It can be present and engaged with what and who is immediately around
Not everything it could feel has to be felt at every moment
A healthy mind knows how to hope
It identifies and then hangs on tenaciously to a few reasons to keep going
Grounds for despair, anger and sadness are, of course, all around
But the healthy mind knows how to bracket negativity in the name of endurance
It clings to evidence of what is still beautiful and kind
True mental health involves a frank acceptance of how much ill health there will have to be
And we should be no more reluctant to seek help than we are when we develop a chest infection or a sore knee
And should consider ourselves no less worthy of love
