A short YouTube podcast clip (by Josh Trent) in which the speaker defines mental health as the capacity to 'time travel' — i.e., to move fluidly and intentionally among past, present, and future selves. The speaker emphasizes being able to visit the past to heal, fully inhabit the present, and envision/set up the future self, shifting between these temporal perspectives with ease and intention as a marker of mental wellbeing.

Chapters

Mental health is really the capacity to time travel well. We want to be able to move into our past with intention and fluidity. We want to be able to go there, to linger there, to heal there, and then to move very present and to be able to be fully in the present moment and then also to be in our future self, to sort of set that person up for success and to be able to go back and forth between these parts of us with ease and intention is just really probably how I would define what it is to be mentally well or mentally healthy.
