If the conscious mind can affect the physical body (exercise, eating well) can it not also affect itself and its development? Could say a mentally healthy person at 20 be a neurotic mess at 40 and the person in the reverse position a well-balanced person? I know I struggle with a wildly varying state of mental wellness, peaks and valleys which seem to grow larger as I age (I'm 26 now). Could I lessen these tendencies with the right mental habits and experience a more neutral state a greater amount of time? But then I wonder if I should even want that. Are the joys of life to be found in its heights or its steady plains? Exhilaration or tranquility?

You wont find an answer to the end question, it sounds like you're overthinking things a bit, but it would do you good to have some more consistency.
