Mental Wellness

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health but much, much trickier to manage.

While a broken arm can be set and a busted knee can be replaced by the magic of science, your grey matter takes more than a massaging to get in order.

However, there are steps to take on your mental health journey, whether you’re looking to view the world a bit more positively or cope with anxiety and depression.

Mental health is made up of emotional and psychological wellbeing and Emotional wellbeing

Your emotional wellbeing refers to the positive emotions you experience, like happiness, joy, love, compassion, and excitement.

Your psychological wellbeing is basically the framework that informs your emotional wellbeing. 

Just like your physical wellbeing, there may be aspects of your mental health where you’re excelling and places where you might need a tune-up. 

Good mental health isn’t as simple as being ‘happy all the time’, as nice as that sounds. Instead, signs of ‘flourishing’ mental health include

Being engaged with work, hobbies, and activities

Maintaining close in relationships where care and concern is reciprocated

Feeling as though you have a purpose in life

A sense of accomplishment and competency in your activities and life

Feeling calm and at peace

Mental wellness can do more for your health than simply make you ‘feel better’. The health benefits of living more positively and having higher levels of life satisfaction lead to a healthier life.
