What Is Mind Health ?

I like your title Keeping Mentally

one can get over fears and doubts
Everybody should know about mental
hygiene. a simple statement would

With this encouragement a state
ment Of mind health is in order. A
man may be strong because he has
big powerful muscles or because he
knows how to get every ounce Of power
out of what muscles he has; usually
something Of both. The big muscle Is
a gift Of nature; the well controlled
muscle the result Of training; both
make up physique.
man may have good mind and
do little with it, or a fair mind and do
much with It, what he accOmplishcs
with his mind is also the result Of the
kind Of mind he Is born with and how
he trains it, Minds are far more COM
pick than muscles But the wonderful
things muscle can do make muscle
Work pretty complex, also.
In muscle work there is strength,
there is endurance, there is accuracy,
there is skill. and there are all sorts Of
combinations. A jeWeler and a black
smith. a surgeon and a butcher, work
with their muscles. But they do d1f-
ferent types of work because they are
controlled by different types Of nervous
systems. A carpenter and cabinet
maker work with wood and with much
the same tools The one Is good at
coarse. heavy. strong work: the other
at fine, accurate joining and shaping.
A house painter and portrait painter
are miles apart in their mind work
Minds are far more completely d1t-
ferent than muscles. Physical train
ing helps you 10 make the most Of
your muscle skill: mind training teaches
you how 10 make the most Of your
mental skill. Efficiency is the common
aim of both. Mind training is part OF
mind health. which is known as mental
hygiene. The practical purpose OF II
all is to keep you mentally f1t.
Mind health results from applying
the mental side Of human nature 70
