Hello Activers,Today we are going to be focusing on Mental health. This is a topic a lot of us have heard about but haven't fully taken into consideration.
Mental fitness can be defined as having and maintaining a state of well-being and cultivating awareness of how we think, behave and feel. Just as physical fitness provides us with an increased ability to respond to life in all its richness, mental fitness helps in the same way. It provides us more space to choose how to respond to a situation, whether that situation is a forethought, an external stimulus or a feeling.
As a result, we are less likely to sustain (or cause) emotional and relational injury, that's why mental health is a crucial part of our being. Now lets head unto steps on how to care for our mental health.
1.TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.
Talking about your feelings can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled. No matter how you feel good or bad it's healthy to put your feelings into words. Talking about feelings helps us feel close to people who care. It helps us feel better when we're sad or scared. Putting feelings into words helps us use self-control when we feel mad or upset. It can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled. Talking about your feelings isn't a sign of weakness. It's part of taking charge of your wellbeing and doing what you can to stay healthy.
2. KEEP ACTIVE
Break long periods of sitting. You need to clear your mind often to be in a relaxed state. Move as much as possible during the day, eg, take the stairs, use house work to raise your heart rate, exercise, yoga , etc. You could do 30 minutes a day in 10-minute bursts for change of environment.
3. TAKE A BREAKA change of scene or a change of pace is good for your mental health. It could be a five-minute pause from cleaning your kitchen, listening to soothing music or self reflecting.Taking breaks has been shown to be important in recovering from stress, which can, in turn, improve your performance. Recovering from work stress can restore energy and mental resources and decrease the development of fatigue, sleep disorders and cardiovascular disease and exploring somewhere new. A few minutes can be enough to de-stress you.
4. ASK FOR HELP
Resist Stigmatizing Yourself. Depression is a problem that has a solution. If you ever feel like your mental health is starting to degenerate, do not hesitate to reach out where you feel the most comfortable. You need to start practicing saying that you're not okay. ''it is okay not to be okay.''
