Good afternoon, students! Recently, I have discovered a phenomenon: some of you are 'self-consuming'. That is, you blame yourself too much, thinking that you are not good enough. I want to talk about this issue with you to offer some help.
Firstly, according to my research, social media is the primary source of you 'self-consuming' as you compare yourself with the celebrities on the platforms. We love to share our highlight moments on online platforms, and some of us may decorate ourselves with what we post, for instance, photoshop. Everyone tries to show the best part of themselves online, and they may not be that good in real life. Therefore, you don't have to compare yourself with the fancy people on social media platforms. Just focus on your business, take the information you need, and try to be a better self with the information acquired from the Internet.
Besides, I understand some of you feel overwhelmed even if you do not compare yourself to others. You may be struggling through difficulties, you may be feeling overwhelmed, and you may be losing interest and hope in life. It is alright, and all you need is just some timely help. Life is about overcoming problems while you are too young and energetic for the puzzles your lives have prepared for you. As you put in effort, you will achieve the goals you set for yourselves, and everything will work out for you. I know it will be painful, so you may come to me to talk about your troubles before the situation gets worse, and I will try my best to offer suitable comfort and suggestions. By the way, you may also speak to your friends, your family, or your teachers. Remember, they all care very much for you, and seeking help doesn't mean you are weak because everyone could get sick, either physically or mentally, and having a mental issue is as common as catching a cold.
Additionally, I want to introduce the impact of mental power to you. Let me tell you a story: During World War II, an army lacked painkillers, so they had no choice but to mix candies with the rest of the painkillers, give them to the wounded warriors, and tell them what they received were specific painkillers. Surprisingly, all of the bleeding warriors stopped moaning after they took in the 'specific painkillers', even though what they had eaten may have been simply sweets. See? Your mind is much more powerful than you think. Hence, if you keep thinking positively, your wish will come true. Be optimistic, be kind, and be grateful for what you have. Believe me, you will find your life more beautiful.
Last but not least, to maintain satisfactory mental health, I would like to offer you some recommendations for taking good care of yourselves. First, have a healthy diet. According to scientific studies, having meals composed of 20-30% fat and plentiful vitamins can help your brain cells grow faster, which makes your brain fresh and enthusiastic. Besides, having plenty of sleep as well as doing exercise has the same function as well. In conclusion, please have a balanced life, which is valuable for your physical and mental health.
Okay, the above is all that I want to share with you. I hope you can reduce 'self-consumption', look for help when needy, stay positive, and have good habits. Thank you for listening.
