What we mean by “taking better care” is to learn how to prioritize mental wellness daily so we all have the capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a healthy and positive rather than negative mindset. Being mentally well means that our mind is in order and functioning in our best interest. We are able to think, feel and act in ways that create a positive impact on our own lives and the world around us.
About Us
109 World is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals take better care of themselves and their surroundings.
Which “brain” has been motivating you
through life? Negative or positive?
Many of us are motivated by negative emotions most of our lives. Fear of failing, of looking like we don’t belong, being angry at ourselves for thinking we are not good enough. And here’s the interesting thing, we might generate a lot of success and results by being motivated by those negative emotions! But that’s far away from having a fulfilling life because it doesn’t generate happiness and peace of mind on a daily basis or for life. Mental wellness and mindfulness come from a place where you are motivated by positive emotions like empathy, curiosity, creativity, passion, and purpose.
We should all be tapping into our power of being motivated, performing, and living life through sustained happiness and peace of mind. And 109 is here to support you all the way. We are all in this together, learning everyday where the negativity (fear, stress, anger, guilt, shame, insecurity…) lives in us and where the positivity comes from. After all we are more able to handle life’s challenges and achieve our full potential when we are feeling positive and our best – mentally, physically and emotionally. We can only give as much love to the world as we have for ourselves.
The impact on improving wellness is endless
In general you feel you are achieving your full potential in life; You feel much happier on a daily basis; And your relationships with yourself, with others and with your surroundings significantly improve and feel healthier. In addition to that, according to Stanford Mind and Body Lab:
