MANY WAYS TO FEEL HOW GOOD YOU ARE FEELING

When it comes to mental health, one of the biggest problems people face is admitting that something is wrong, and most of the time this is to do with pride and feeling shame. Unlike other health problems, admitting something is wrong mentally carries a social stigma; despite the greater levels of public awareness nowadays. However, there is so much to gain from spotting the warning signs of mental frailties early, and introducing subtle changes in your lifestyle to overcome any negative thoughts. Spotting symptoms early, and acknowledging them, can mean that you can prevent far worse conditions setting in. A good point to remember - Mental health problems are normal. One in four people have a mental health problem at some point in their lives, which affects their daily life, relationships or physical health. There is no single cause of mental health problems. The reasons they develop are as complex as the individual. Mental health problems are more common in certain groups, for example, people with poor living conditions, those from ethnic minority groups, disabled people, homeless people and offenders. Mental health problems can be incremental, in other words we can experience them in different degrees. On the one hand some people can deal with their problem on their own, while on the other professional help is required. If you are in any doubt about your own feelings, go and see your GP. Prevention is always better than cure. This is certainly true when it comes to maintaining good mental health. We can stave off a negative mind by keeping active, staying self aware, and engaging with a program of personal development. Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Not only does regular exercise help to maintain overall fitness and manage weight loss, it can lower the risk of many life-threatening conditions. By taking regular exercise you can improve mental and emotional health. The chemicals and hormones that are released in the brain through exercise can help deal with stress and promote happiness. Exercise stimulates a chemical in your brain called serotonin which makes you feel happier and less stressed. Regular exercise can even help with the treatment of depression and anxiety. Remember - exercise should be fun and can involve any sport or activity that you enjoy. Regular exercise helps you too sleep better and can improve your sex life.
Self-awareness is the art of introspection and self-reflection. Think of self-awareness as a lens that grants you access to the very core of your being. With heightened self-awareness, not only are you able to spot the warning signals at an earlier stage; but you are also better equipped to identify the root causes of your negativity. Self-awareness can be developed from learning the arts of meditation, visualization, alongside a good dose of honest self appraisal. You should consider looking at NLP, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy and other personal development techniques. Finally, personal development is a great way to increase levels of self esteem, improve self confidence and enhance skills and abilities. You can do this by setting yourself different goals to work towards such as learning a new language, getting a promotion at work or losing weight. Setting goals is positive because it gives you a target to work towards. However, make sure that your goals are realistic. If they are unrealistic, you are likely to fail them, which can affect your motivation and even put you off altogether.Stay with this blog for regular health tips.
