Have you ever felt drained because your surroundings didn’t support your mental well-being? Whether at home, school, or work, an uncomfortable environment can increase stress and lower motivation. So, why don’t we start creating a more mentally friendly space?
1. A Comfortable Space, a Peaceful Mind
Try reorganizing your room or workspace to make it neater. Add some greenery, adjust the lighting, and use calming colors. Japan’s "Shinrin-Yoku" or forest therapy has been proven to reduce stress. We can apply this by incorporating more green spaces around us.
2. Stay Connected, You’re Not Alone
Denmark embraces the "Hygge" culture, which promotes happiness through togetherness. Whether it’s casual conversations with friends, joining a support group, or simply checking in on loved ones, social connections can make a big difference. Don’t hesitate to find your support system!
3. Boundaries Matter!
Working without limits can drain your mental energy. In France, the "Right to Disconnect" law prevents employees from being disturbed by work outside office hours. Indonesia could also adopt a healthier work culture to promote better work-life balance.
4. Manage Stress in Fun Ways
Exercising, watching your favorite movies, or just relaxing without guilt—it’s all okay! In South Korea, companies provide healing cafés for employees to take a mental break. Why not introduce relaxation spaces at schools or workplaces too?
5. Education is Key
Mental health should never be a taboo topic! The UK’s "Time to Change" program raises awareness and reduces stigma. Indonesia could also introduce mental health education in schools to teach young people how to maintain emotional balance.
6. Easy Access to Counseling
In the Netherlands, companies are required to provide counseling services for employees. Indonesia could follow this by increasing mental health facilities in schools, universities, and workplaces. Collaborations with mental health startups like Riliv or Bicarakan.id could be a great solution!
7. Regular Evaluations Matter
Japan regularly conducts mental health surveys for employees. If we start implementing regular evaluations too, we can create a healthier and more supportive environment for everyone.
Mental health is not just a personal issue; it’s a shared responsibility. By caring for one another and creating a supportive environment, we can make life happier and more balanced. Let’s start today!

The environment plays an important role in improving a person's mental health. A good environment is not only free from air pollution or garbage, but includes many aspects, both social, cultural and health aspects of a person. If the environment is clean, green, and organized, it can also have a positive impact on a person's health. One of the main factors of a healthy environment is good air quality. Air pollution, such as vehicle exhaust fumes or industrial waste, can increase the risk of stress and respiratory disorders, which ultimately contribute to anxiety and depression. Conversely, clean air with sufficient oxygen levels helps the brain work more optimally and improves a person's health. The social aspect of the environment is also very influential. A harmonious community, where individuals feel safe and supported by those around them, helps reduce the risk of mental disorders. Conversely, an environment full of conflict, excessive disturbance, or social pressure can trigger stress, anxiety, and even depression. Positive social interactions, such as support from family, friends, and neighbors, can provide a sense of comfort and improve emotional well-being. Harmonious communication between each other, be it friends, best friends, family or teachers has a significant supporting factor because good communication can create a sense of self-confidence and support from others, one of the good supports for people who are often stressed or depressed. Supporting Physical Activity, A healthy environment can encourage physical activity, such as walking, running, or cycling. Physical activity has been shown to improve mental health by reducing stress and improving mood. Improving Mood and Emotions, A healthy environment can affect mood and emotions. Exposure to natural light, fresh air, and natural sounds can increase the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, especially generation z and generation alpha are often affected by mood swings or easily change mood depending on the conditions or situations they get.
In my opinion, creating an environment that supports mental health starts with ourselves, one of which is by choosing good company. Social interactions have a significant impact on mental health, whether through words or the behavior of those around us. Sometimes, people may hurt our feelings, either intentionally or unintentionally, or even bring negative influences into our lives. Therefore, it is important to be wise in choosing a positive social environment that supports personal growth.
Additionally, we can start by improving ourselves, such as developing good character and maintaining noble values. By doing so, we can create a more comfortable and harmonious environment, which ultimately helps maintain our mental well-being.
Another crucial factor is maintaining communication with family. Before that, we must learn to be open with our family so that we can share our thoughts and experiences. By sharing, we can lighten our mental burdens and find happiness in togetherness, which in turn has a positive impact on our mental health. +

Creating an environment that supports mental health can be done by building healthy relationships, a comfortable physical environment, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and good self-awareness. +
Creating an environment that supports mental health is essential for the well-being of individuals and communities. Here are some ways to achieve this:
1. Raising Awareness and Education: Educating the public about mental health through campaigns, seminars, and educational programs in schools and workplaces. This education helps to remove negative stigma and promotes a better understanding of the importance of mental health.
2. Strong Social Support: Building a strong social support network among family, friends, and communities. Emotional and social support can help individuals cope with stress and anxiety, and increase feelings of connectedness and acceptance.
3. Access to Mental Health Services: Ensuring that mental health services are easily accessible and affordable for everyone. This includes providing more trained professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors, as well as adequate mental health facilities.
4. Supportive Work Environment: Creating work-life balance policies in the workplace. A positive and inclusive work environment can help employees feel valued and supported, and reduce work stress.
5. **Physical Activity and Relaxation**: Encourage physical activity such as exercise, yoga and meditation which can help reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and mindfulness can also help individuals manage anxiety and improve sleep quality.
6. **Green Spaces and Healthy Environments**: Create and maintain green spaces that are easily accessible to the community, such as parks and gardens, which can have a calming effect and support mental health. A clean and safe environment is also important for mental wellbeing.
With these steps, we can create an environment that supports mental health, helping individuals feel happier, more prosperous and more productive. Improving mental health is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration from all parties. +

As a nation and state, Indonesia, with a population of 275.5 million people stretching from Sabang to Merauke and from Miangas to Rote Island, often faces problems with the quality of human resources. Poor government management procedures for society in the form of education, food and the environment are the cause of the decline in the quality of human resources compared to Asian countries, especially Southeast Asia. When applied to my life, I am still sad to see the social inequality between the poor and the rich, the unequal access to education and even the many children out there who cannot obtain their human rights. In fact, harassment often occurs everywhere. This results in the quality of human resources in Indonesia being very sad. And rising to the level of officialdom, it cannot be denied that there are still many officials who commit corruption and nepotism +

I am Generation Z: Facing the Quarter Life Crisis as a Mental Health Challenge through Modern and Spiritual Technology Collaboration +
The Quarter Life Crisis (QLC) phenomenon is increasingly experienced by Generation Z, characterized by feelings of anxiety, doubt, stress, and confusion in determining the direction of life, career, and self-identity. So, mental health is at stake if we do not detect it early and follow up. Mental health is known as a phenomenon that is often associated with Generation Z. This term emerged since the COVID-19 Pandemic, a pandemic experienced by the Indonesian population during the period 2020 to 2023. Not only did it result in many infections of the COVID-19 virus, but a total of 64.8% of the 4,010 people who conducted psychological self-examinations from April to August 2021, experienced psychological problems during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. According to PDSKJI (Indonesian Association of Psychiatric Specialists.
Psychological problems are most commonly experienced by the age group of 17 to 29 years and older than 60 years. Generation Z, who was born from 1997 to 2012, is part of the group of Indonesians who experience the most psychological problems. Generation Z is a generation that has been close to technology since birth. The development of our lives is even helped a lot by technology and the Internet. So, technology and the Internet are things that must exist, not in the form of innovation as experienced by previous generations
Mental health is greatly influenced by the problems around us, the closest thing is the misuse of social media technology. Nowadays, people are free to share about anything in their lives, such as achievements, glamorous lifestyles, love life, success at a young age and many others that result in a sense of insecurity when looking at these contents, and even tend to compare themselves with the "perfect" life they have, even though what they see on social media is not necessarily better than what they are real. Departing from this, our task as users is to filter the information we receive, choose spectacles that are indeed useful and in line with our targets or plans in the future, distance ourselves from content that is actually a distraction for us in self-development, so that Social Media becomes a promising Ouput
Instead of being consumers of content on Social Media, we as Generation Z should maximize our lives in the Real World by Increasing Spiritual Values, belief in destiny and effort, focusing on ourselves and utilizing social media as a tool to find information related to self-development, finding a job, learning religious/spiritual science, so that with the collaboration between modern technology and Spirituality, it will actually make us a generation who are much more productive and have good mental health
Based on this, echoing the Modern and Spiritual Technology Collaboration program is an efficient step for Generation Z in facing the challenges of the current Quarter Life Crisis, instilling religious knowledge and applying it with today's modern technology
Discussing the issues that need to be prioritized by the prospective regional head. I think there are many things that need to be prioritized for Makassar City to become the prima donna of Eastern Indonesia.
There are several points that are important issues:
1. Environmental Issues
There are many issues related to the environment, starting from the slow handling of waste which causes flooding in several places during the rainy season, even reaching the main roads causing traffic jams, and worse, there have been riots on the toll roads because motorcyclists entered. The road repairs are not felt, traffic jams often occur in several places, there is a water crisis in some areas, and in recent years there have been rolling blackouts.
2. The Issue of Poverty and Misallocated Aid
I think this might be quite heavy, but this issue also needs to be addressed so that welfare can be built. Regarding the issue of poverty, I want to connect it with the awareness that if people are continuously spoon-fed without being given something that can improve themselves, such as skill training, creativity, or something similar, then those people will have a poverty mentality and will keep waiting to be spoon-fed. I completely agree that the social assistance given frequently is very helpful, but not with the provision of social assistance for free without any goals to achieve. Moreover, if the assistance provided is not targeted and only favors those with connections or acquaintances, it is truly ironic.
3. HR and Job Vacancies
The topic of HR and job vacancies also has important issues that need to be addressed. Where Human Resources or the quality of the community's self needs to be taken into account and supported. I think there needs to be a program created so that human resources can understand the job market, which is currently closely tied to technological developments, as well as a program that can open up job opportunities because there are many people out there who are struggling and even becoming desperate about employment.
I think that issue needs to be prioritized in the city of Makassar, and solutions need to be provided along with actions taken.
At the very least, there needs to be a platform to listen to grievances or provide mutual feedback regarding what the community experiences and what the government does, so that quick responses can be created. And from that platform, it is not only the regional heads who need to pay attention to and prioritize issues, but also how a regional head can have a positive influence to embrace and invite all or at least some of the community to pay attention to several existing issues to make Makassar better.
Economy and welfare are two closely related concepts. Economics refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in a society. Meanwhile, welfare refers to a condition in which basic human needs are met, both materially and non-materially, so that individuals can live a decent and quality life. In the context of the election of regional head candidates, the issue of “economy and welfare” is an important issue to be prioritized by regional head candidates because both have a direct impact on the quality of life of the community. By improving economic conditions and welfare, regional heads can create a more prosperous and stable environment, with the reason being that if the economy develops, people are more able to get better access to their needs such as food, education, health services, and housing, especially in peripheral areas which are still often found. This can improve the overall physical, mental, and social well-being of the community. Poverty reduction can also be one of the main objectives in economic development, by creating programs that focus on providing jobs, developing MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), and social assistance that can help lift the poor out of poverty because it can be a reason for some people who want to pursue a more decent education. Regional heads who are able to overcome poverty will have a significant direct impact on their citizens and of course jobs not only provide income, but also provide a sense of belonging, identity, and satisfaction for them. Some of these regions still have challenges in providing employment, especially among young people, which is one of the problems that must be addressed in effective economic policies and of course this development is preferred by the community. A growing economy can create more jobs for people. Regional heads who focus on economic development will seek to increase investment in their region, supporting local sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, industry and tourism. This gives people the opportunity to work and have a stable income.
Health is also an important aspect of well-being. A good health program will improve people's overall quality of life. Regional head candidates need to ensure that health services are easily accessible and of high quality, especially for vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. With programs aimed at health, it will help create a more productive generation. Of course, good health will increase productivity. The provision of adequate and affordable clean water is also very important and is included in the Health of communities that are still difficult to get clean water. This is also one of the main determining factors in improving welfare. By implementing programs that can be realized such as the government needs to work with the private sector, civil society, and donor agencies to increase access to clean water, communities need to be provided with knowledge and skills in managing clean water and good sanitation, and the application of appropriate technology can increase efficiency in managing clean water.
Economic and welfare issues are at the heart of local leadership. By making these issues a priority, regional heads can create a better environment for their citizens, focusing on issues including job creation, poverty alleviation, infrastructure improvement, as well as ensuring that the benefits of economic growth can be enjoyed by all levels of society and leave a brighter future for future generations.
Mental health is often considered less important than physical health, even though the two are closely related and equally crucial to living a quality life. The negative stigma that still sticks to mental health issues makes many individuals reluctant to seek help, even when they are struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders. In fact, prioritizing mental health is just as important as maintaining physical health, and can even be said to be the most important investment that we often ignore.
We easily realize the importance of eating nutritious food, exercising regularly, and checking our physical health regularly. However, we often forget the importance of taking care of our mental health. In fact, chronic stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy lifestyles can have a negative impact on mental health, triggering various problems such as anxiety disorders, depression, and burnout. These symptoms are often ignored, considered personal weaknesses, or just "a little tired". As a result, mental health problems that could have been treated in the early stages actually worsen and have a wider impact on the individual's life.
It is important to realize that mental health is not just the absence of mental illness. It is a state in which a person is able to function optimally emotionally, psychologically, and socially. This includes the ability to manage stress, build healthy relationships, achieve goals, and feel fulfilled in life. To achieve this state, we need to actively care for our mental health, just as we care for our physical health. Some simple steps that can be taken include: paying attention to adequate sleep patterns, consuming healthy foods, exercising regularly, establishing positive social relationships, learning stress management, and seeking professional help when needed. Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of courage and self-awareness. Therapists, psychologists, and counselors can provide the support and guidance needed to overcome mental health issues. Don't hesitate to take advantage of the resources available, whether it's community mental health services, mental health apps, or peer support groups. Remember, prioritizing mental health is a long-term investment that will have a positive impact on all aspects of our lives, from interpersonal relationships, work productivity, to overall happiness. Don't let us regret ignoring this most important investment. Let's start caring and prioritizing our mental health, before it's too late.

As we know, it is almost time for us to determine regional leaders for the next 5 years. And as students (often called agents of change), we also have some hopes for prospective leaders.
Seeing the sad state of school education in Indonesia which is very worrying. Why do I say "worrying"? Because there are still students who still cannot read and/or write. The truth of this is questionable. Hearing stories from several fellow students who went to schools to take part in the Merdeka Campus program. Where students are directed to schools from Kindergarten (TK) to High School (SMA). My friend said “Ditempatkan ka di sekolah menengah pertama yang dijalan tamalate. Sampe ku disana, ada ku dapat anak-anak tidak bisa membaca. Maksudku saya tohh, kalau memang tidak memungkinkan ki untuk naik kelas yang pasnya SD karena belumpi bisa membaca, jangan dikasih naik kelas”.
Therefore, we hope that future leaders will pay more attention to the quality of our education. In our opinion, this is very important because it involves the future of the nation and the fate of the nation's future is in their hands. So, where is the problem behind all this? Through a fairly long discussion process, we managed to try to answer this question. One factor that is quite interesting to discuss is parenting. "Parenting is the process of raising children, which is usually done by their parents/guardians", Khairally (2023). We assume that the lack of education at home is a factor in why children cannot read and/or write due to the lack of teachings from their parents from an early age. But to overcome this problem is very difficult. Because the daily activities of parents are not only caring for children, but they also have to take care of themselves and also work to support their children. Kim (2021) also said "Daily pressures such as preparing children for school, working from home, or doing additional tasks, can make the role of a parent more difficult". Therefore, we turn to another factor, namely teachers. As we know, teachers are jobs that teach knowledge to children in their schools. They are also the ones who teach children how to read and write in kindergarten. And start counting when they first enter elementary school, Caesaria (2023). However, the teaching profession in Indonesia is often considered trivial. Their salaries are also very small when compared to other professions. According to Oktyandito (2024), "Teachers who have Group I are usually new teachers who have graduated from the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) or are bachelors of education. Quoting Government Regulation Number 5 of 2024 concerning Civil Servant Salary Regulations, the salary of a Group I PNS teacher is IDR 1,685,700 to IDR 2,901,400 per month". Seeing that small number certainly makes me personally not want to be a teacher in Indonesia and prefer another profession. Teachers oftentimes take side jobs to cover their needs. So no wonder, if teachers at school are not focused when teaching and assessing their students. So those who are not competent are still given permission to continue their learning at the next level (Moving up a class), even though the student cannot read and/or write. However, what if there are no more students who want to become teachers because of the low salary?. What will the future of this nation be like without them? (the teachers). Therefore, we hope that teacher salaries will be increased to the point of being "adequate" as teaching staff in Indonesia. With the increase in teacher salaries, students will be interested in making the teaching profession their option when choosing a major at university. Although it can hurt the country's asset, but at least we can also raise the standard of teacher quality in Indonesia by raising the standard of quality of Teacher Professional Education (PPG). So the tests that will be given to prospective teachers will be more difficult and strict. This is done to improve the quality of teaching methods for prospective teachers, and to take the teaching profession seriously.
So, the solution that I can offer is to raise the standard of teacher quality by making the teaching profession a profession that is worth considering when choosing a major at university, and also tightening the screening of prospective teachers during the Teacher Procession Education (PPG) in order to produce more qualified teachers for this nation.
Makassar is a beautiful city that has grown a lot over the years. While it is generally clean, there are still some important issues related to waste management and environmental sustainability that need attention. In this essay, I would like to discuss these issues and suggest a few ways to make the city even better.
The Problem of Burning Trash One of the common practices in Makassar is burning trash in front of homes. While some people may think this is an easy way to get rid of waste, it can actually cause problems. The smoke from burning trash creates air pollution, which is harmful to the environment and to the health of people. It can be especially bad for neighbors who have to breathe in the smoke. A better solution would be to collect the trash and burn it far from the city, in a controlled area where it won’t affect people or the air quality.
Good Policies in Tourist Areas Makassar has some very good policies in place, especially in tourist areas like mountains and camping sites. For example, when people go hiking or camping, the staff counts all the items they bring with them, like coffee packets or food cans. When they return, the staff checks if they have taken back all their trash. If they have left any trash behind, they are fined. This is a great way to keep tourist areas clean and protect nature. If more places followed this rule, the environment would stay cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone.
Supermarkets Reducing Plastic Use Another positive change in Makassar is that supermarkets like Indomaret and Alfamart no longer give plastic bags. If you want to buy something, you need to bring your own bag. This policy encourages people to reduce their use of plastic, which is good for the environment because plastic takes a long time to break down and can harm wildlife. Small changes like this can have a big impact on keeping the city clean.
In conclusion, there are both challenges and solutions when it comes to waste management in Makassar. While practices like burning trash in front of homes should be improved, there are also good policies in place, such as in tourist areas and supermarkets. I believe that by raising awareness and making small changes, Makassar can be a cleaner and more sustainable city for everyone.
Improving agricultural infrastructure in Sidrap district, including improving roads, irrigation and accessibility to markets so that farmers can sell their products more easily. +
Improving agricultural infrastructure in Sidrap Regency is essential to increase the productivity and competitiveness of the agricultural sector. Good infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation, and storage facilities, allows farmers to access markets more easily and speeds up the distribution of agricultural products. An effective irrigation system will ensure the availability of water, which is essential for increasing crop yields. In addition, improving infrastructure will help farmers sell their products at better prices, reducing losses due to crop damage. It also contributes to regional economic development by attracting investment and creating jobs. Thus, improving agricultural infrastructure will optimize the potential of natural resources in Sidrap and improve the welfare of the community as a whole.
Therefore, if there is a decline in agricultural infrastructure in Sidrap Regency, it will have a significant impact on the agricultural sector and the local economy. First, poor infrastructure hinders the distribution and access of farmers to agricultural tools and materials, so that agricultural production decreases. In addition, the lack of a good irrigation system can cause problems in water management and soil quality, threatening the sustainability of agriculture in the area. Declining crop yields also have an impact on farmers' incomes, which can increase poverty levels. In difficult situations, some farmers may be forced to migrate to cities, which reduces the number of workers in the agricultural sector. This leads to threats to local food security, increasing dependence on imports. Therefore, improving agricultural infrastructure is very important to overcome this problem, increase productivity, and strengthen the local economy.
Improving agricultural infrastructure in Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap) Regency must be improved because it can improve people's welfare, alleviate poverty, increase rice production, optimize the use of rice fields in swampy areas, and increase the planting index. Some examples of work that can be done to improve agricultural infrastructure in Sidrap Regency include: Dredging and normalizing rivers or irrigation channels, Construction and rehabilitation of pumping irrigation, Construction of water gates or ditch dams, Construction of drainage in the form of duekker plates and culverts, Construction of farmer bridges
The local government will also likely respond positively to improving agricultural infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of improving roads, irrigation, and accessibility to markets. They will underline that good infrastructure can increase agricultural productivity, enable farmers to sell their crops more efficiently and get better prices, thus having a direct impact on their welfare. In addition, the existence of an adequate irrigation system is very important to maintain the sustainability of agriculture, especially amidst the challenges of climate change. It will also encourage collaboration between government, farmers, and the private sector to ensure that infrastructure development meets the needs of the community. They may add that supporting programs, such as training in modern agricultural techniques and marketing management, are also needed to maximize the benefits of existing infrastructure. Overall, the regional head will emphasize that improving agricultural infrastructure is an important pillar in the economic and social development of Sidrap Regency.
