What determines my well-being, my state of mind, and my good mood? It is me who defines it.
I know that this post will somehow deny what I wrote in the post named „I was a fool.” In the last post, I wrote that the Polish national football team made me angry. Why? Because I did not see a fighting spirit in their first game at Euro 2020/2021. Still, I have no doubt that if the quality of my self-consciousness were on the highest level, such a game would not worsen my well-being. The truth is that my well-being, state of mind, and good mood should not be susceptible to external factors. It is only me from whom my current state of mind depends.
By writing this text, I want to remind myself that I have complete control over my well-being, not other people or external circumstances. No matter what is happening in my life and my surroundings, I should never forget that my well-being depends only on me, not others, like the Polish footballers.
I believe that possessing a good mood, no matter what’s happening around us, is one of the highest levels of self-consciousness and self-development.
While thinking about all these things, I remind myself of Seneca’s writings. The famous Roman philosopher stated that how we feel is only up to us. He tremendously described a human as a lonely, solid rock that stands in the harsh ocean. Waves are constantly hitting this rock. The wind is blowing harshly. Thunders are also constantly hitting this rock. Yet, the stone stands still and does not feel the pain. I want to be like this rock. I hope to remain as solid with my well-being on the highest level as the rock. Undoubtedly, my good mood depends only on me. The last thing is that I believe that we all can improve our well-being thanks to intermittent fasting and taking freezing cold showers.
