Somehow, I keep thinking that what we lack, is what our elders used to do back then (and I'm not just talking about our dads/mothers and grand parents here). Whenever I read about a famous writer like Jack London or others, It seems like one of the most common traits between them is their attitude towards learning. They exercise, read the classics of those that lived before them, but they also write (much like we do today with our blogs and such). And they write about their own self, their journey. Essentially, they were already keeping track of themselves, in order to better themselves without outside judgement. It seems to me we kinda skipped some part and are just beginning to re learn what was common back then... In the end, the most helpful thing you can do about your mental health is to question your own self, on paper.
