Mental health: Challenge yourself!

Contenu

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
It’s important to remember that a person’s mental health can change over time, depending on many factors. When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health could be impacted.
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same. A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of physical, mental, and social well-being. (source)﻿

The main focus of this content is based on mental well-being and how to take care of yourself.

We all know that to keep a car going, we have to fill it with petrol, check the oil and water regularly and give the tires some air. To see a bank balance grow, we need to make steady deposits. But how often do we take the time to reflect on whether we are giving ourselves what we need to flourish and live well?
Especially in challenging times like now with a pandemic, ecological disasters and a war in Europe, taking care of your mental health can be difficult. Also, it can be so easy for us to take our mental health for granted; to prioritise other things; to put it off until next week. There are some things everyone can do. The following are some tips to get you started:
