Imagine walking up to a stranger on the street and asking, “How are you?” More often than not, the response will be a casual “I’m fine” or “I’m okay.” However, beneath these words often lies a tale of stress, exhaustion, and barely coping – a story that has become all too familiar. Rarely do you come across someone exclaiming, “I feel incredible; my mind is sharp, my focus is razor-sharp, and I sleep like a baby each night.” This level of mental vitality should be the standard, yet our society often falls short, leading many to believe that mental fitness is an elusive goal.
