Did you know that being in good mental health does not mean the person has a great life without problems? It is not linked to the absence of distress, rather it reflects on how capable they are at handling it.

Having good amounts of it can make one feel supported, happy and satisfied with their life. Here are 3 steps for you to get more mental wellness into yours...

1. Create a Purpose - Living life with meaning and purpose can drive you positively. It could be something small or bit, but it must be important to you.

2. Relive your wonderful moments frequently - it’s easy to do it by recalling your memories and/or pictures to do that.

3. Express Gratitude - be thankful for all that you have going for you.

We tend to be driven by our feelings and emotions. But you know what, they aren’t always the truth or the whole picture. For instance, if someone feels you wronged them doesn’t mean you actually did. Right?! This sort of stuff usually leads to so much misunderstanding.

Let’s take another example, You may feel like a big failure, for not crushing a pitch/performance or something you had been prepping for. But is that really the truth - your true worth?

These powerful feelings can turn into beliefs... and sometimes that’s where all the drama starts. These feelings become facts that ends up limiting you.
Next time, Pause and ask yourself “is this the complete truth?”
