HERE’S A FEW GENUINELY RIGHT WAYS TO CARE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH.
- Talk about your feelings
Talking about your feelings is not a sign of weakness. This is actually part of taking over your welfare. Speaking can be a good way to overcome the problems you carry on your head and only listening can help you feel supported and less alone. It also functions in two directions, if you open it, it can encourage others to do the same thing.
- Stay active
Regular exercise can increase your self -esteem and help you concentrate and even sleep more soundly. It also makes your brain and other vital organs healthy but can be very beneficial for your mental health too. Experts believe that regular exercise releases chemicals in your brain that makes you feel good, so try to set aside 30 minutes and find something you enjoy.
- Eat well
There is a strong relationship between what we eat and how we feel and things like caffeine and sugar can have direct effects. Food can also have a long -term effect on our mental health too and we need a balanced diet to stay healthy and function properly.
- Drink wisely
We often turn to alcohol to change our mood and meanwhile it seems to help at that time, you will usually feel worse. Drinking lightly occasionally is healthy and fun but pay attention to the limit of your weekly alcohol.
- Stay related
Contact with friends and family can work miracles because it makes you feel included, supported, and cared for. They might also be able to help suggest solutions to your problems. While face to face contact is not always possible, contact them or send text to keep communication open – it’s good for you.
- Ask for help
Very normal for all of us to be overwhelmed and not feel the best. If everything becomes too much for you and you feel you can’t overcome it, ask for help. Your family or friends might be able to offer practical help or listening ears. See also your local services like your supporting group or general practitioner.
- Rest
Changes in scenes or speed changes both for your mental health. This can be a five -minute break, a half -hour lunch break or maybe the weekend. Even just a few minutes can be enough to get rid of your stress.
- Do something you are good at
Doing something that you master means that you tend to enjoy it more and enjoyment is a great stress and helps increase your self -esteem.
- accept who you are
Speaking of self -esteem, this can make it very different from the way you overcome when everything becomes complicated. Try not to compare yourself with others and remind yourself what you love about yourself.
- Caring for Others
We have mentioned asking for help and switching to others but paying help can also help yourself to feel better too.
