What is Mental Immunity?

Mental immunity creates a healthy disposition of the mind so that it will be less susceptible to negative thoughts and feelings. If your mental health is good then when small disturbances come along you may have some distress but will recover quickly. If your mental health is not in a good place then a small disturbance may cause you much pain and suffering

Accepting yourself as you are and not judging whether you should or shouldn’t be feeling a certain way takes away the issue of being annoyed with ourselves unnecessarily. Getting to know the things that trigger us, learning the nature of our mind and how to self soothe our emotional reactivity will help us to be less vulnerable to the destructive emotions and thought patterns that can cause a lot of suffering
