Dealing with Mental Health without Medication

I keep telling myself that we may not be able to control life's actions but we can control our reactions and to think positively in response

Such a hard thing to do!! We all want to have more control, especially over things we don't any control over. Whenever I feel the need to control something I can't, I remind myself that in the end the result is just me being tired and unsatisfied. Therefore I try to do something nice instead, in the moment, like drinking a nice cup of coffee at the neighborhood coffee shop :)
