Why complicate things?

Philosophy, unlike spirituality, does not necessarily invoke the metaphysical or the divine, but it can; spirituality is a viable option. Mental health philosophy focuses on inquiry, reasoning, innate intelligence as well as the experience of communion in the act involved with the world. In this light, a mental health philosophy seeks to:

• Understand the Self: Examining beliefs, values, and motivations that guide behavior, but also what is actually happening in the exploration itself. 
• Cultivate Well-Being: Pursuing happiness, purpose, and contentment, but also acceptance as a means to power and change.
• Navigate Challenges: Understanding what is happening is an effective way to address anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.
• Harmonize Beliefs with Actions: Aligning one’s understanding of life with the way it is lived, creating coherence and reducing inner conflict.
