Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves ♥️
Happy World Mental health day!
Here are 5 tips to keep your mind calm & positive!
1. Sleep well
Mental health is significantly influenced by sleep. It is easier to deal with issues, concentrate, think positively, and recall things when we get adequate sleep. If you don't feel drowsy during the day, you are receiving adequate sleep.
2. Beware of thinking traps
The way we feel is greatly influenced by the way we think about things. We frequently feel happy when we believe we can solve an issue. We frequently feel sad if we do not believe that we can solve a situation. These ideas are referred to as "thinking traps." They are traps because they are simple to slip into, which can leave us feeling miserable and stranded.
3. Take breaks
We should all set aside some time to unwind. It has a significant role in reducing stress and having fun in life. Stress may build up to the point where we feel powerless to accomplish anything if we don't take the time to slow down. Do your favorite activity and unwind.
4. Avoid self-judgments
While many of us hate criticism from others, the harshest judgments we face are frequently self-inflicted. Internal self-judgments are the single biggest source of mental chaos and tension, so pay attention to your thinking patterns and recognise when your inner critic enters the picture. The first and most crucial step in replacing criticism with calm is being aware of these ideas as they arise.
5. Acknowledge your feelings
Let yourself express your anger or anxiety. The worry and anger you are feeling could lessen after you give them names and give yourself permission to express them. Be it happiness or sadness, let yourself feel and express these emotions.
