“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close
All of us have our own mental health that we need to nurture and protect. Mental health is not something that we should only pay attention to once we are clinically diagnosed with depression, anxiety or other forms of mental health conditions. Similar to our physical health, we need to exercise, form healthy habits and keep our mental health in check. What do you do to care for yours?
1. It is okay to take a break
You are not wasting time or opportunities if you take a break. At times when we are too focused on achieving our goals, we overwork our bodies. We need to remember that the human body is not built to work without recharging itself. It is natural for our bodies and minds to feel overwhelmed and stressed when the workload gets too heavy. It is okay to take a step back and clear your mind off things.
2. Reflect
Reflection can come in different forms. There are people who prefer journaling, talking to a friend or even spending time alone to think things through. Try to find the method that works best for you and find time in your daily routine to fit in some self-reflection.
Reflection helps you carefully assess your actions and process all the events that have happened in your life. This will make you realize the things you need to improve on or allow you to release your emotions and prevent them from bottling up. The earlier you address your emotions, the lighter and happier you will feel. Other than that, it will increase your level of self-awareness and help you cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself.
3. Wellness Massage Oils
If your schedule is not permitting you to take a break or get some self-time to reflect, you can get some wellness massage oils to help you distress and boost your mood.
