Short Practical Guide to Mental Health: Fixing Mental Health on Your Own

How to Manage Stress and Anxiety, Form Habits and Use Handy Mental Wellness Tips

You know what you should do: exercise, sleep better, stop scrolling endlessly. But knowing and doing are two different battles. This is not another feel-good, be positive book that leaves you inspired but clueless about the next step.

This book began during one of those sleepless nights when the brain spits out ideas like crazy. Unlike many self‑help books that inspire but don’t guide, this one shows you how to take real steps. Every technique has been personally tested during real struggles. No academic theory. Just what worked for me. Packed up and served on a golden platter.

Most self-help books tell you what to change, but never how to change it. They leave you with vague inspiration and zero instruction. This book is different. It's the tangible—what and how.

✓ BATTLE-TESTED METHODS - Every single technique was used by the author during his low moments. From 2+ years of daily meditation to a habit formation trigger system that sticks.

✓ ACTIONABLE STEPS IN EVERY CHAPTER - No more general nonsense, leaving you with “Huh, that was clever”. Each chapter ends with one specific, doable action you can start today. Want better sleep? Here's how to sleep better tonight! Want to stop doom-scrolling? Here are the exact tools with name drops I used to stop it!

✓ THE COIN FLIP METHOD - Counterintuitive approach that helps you reduce analysis paralysis.

✓ SOCIAL MEDIA - Specific browser extensions to install, exact phone settings to change, and how to break the addiction without becoming a hermit. Includes the apps that helped me and that I use to this very day as you are reading it.

✓ HABIT FORMATION THAT STICKS - Learn the "ritual chaining" method that connects new habits to existing ones. Why starting with 5 pages instead of 10 makes all the difference.

✓ THE 5-MINUTE BREAKTHROUGH - When you can't start, when everything feels overwhelming, this simple countdown technique breaks through resistance and gets you moving. Used countless times by the author to overcome creative blocks.

✓ SLEEP OPTIMIZATION - How to turn your bedroom into a recovery chamber.

✓ RELATIONSHIP AND SOCIAL CONNECTION - How loneliness affects well-being, the art of saying "no" without guilt, and why you should care less about “cool” people in your circle.

✓ HOW TO RESET - When life derails your progress. Step-by-step guide to getting back on track. Carefully designed protocol you can revisit.

In additional chapters:

✓ STOIC WISDOM FOR MODERN PROBLEMS - Ancient philosophy made practical. How to focus on what you can control.

✓ SATIRIE - How to be miserable for the rest of your life.

This is for you if:

• You're tired of knowing what to do but struggling to do it.
• You've started and stopped more self-improvement journeys than you can count.
• You want specific instructions, not motivational speeches.
• You're ready to work for your results (this isn't passive reading).
• You need systems that function even when willpower fails.
• You want advice from someone who got back on track.

What you won't find here:

• "just think happy thoughts" advice.
• Academic jargon that sounds smart but leaves you with no steps to take.
• Vague generalizations without actionable steps.
• Theory from someone who never fought the real battle.
• Quick fixes or magic solutions.
