Five Ways To Help Promote Good Mental Health

September 8, 2019 by Jennifer 3 Comments

*This is a partnered post

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health because they are both connected to one another. Your mental wellbeing can often be made vulnerable by things that happen in life, and it’s good to be in touch with your mental health, so you know how to cope with it. Here are five ways to promote good mental health.

Find Exercises That Help You De-Stress
Stress can be one of the main impacts on your mental health, and if you don’t get control over it, you can easily slip into a negative state of mind. Reducing stress in your life should be a priority, and one of the ways you can do this is through exercise. This can be a great activity to do to help distract your mind from what’s currently causing your stress. Whether that be heading on over to ayoga studio or training with a personal trainer in the gym. Whatever works for you is what’s important!

Talk About Your Feelings To Others
We all feel, but there’s always been a stigma in that it’s seen as being weak to talk about your emotions. However, that has all recently changed, and there’s more focus on admitting that it’s ok not to be ok. Don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings, whether that’s to your parents, with friends or even with a stranger. There’s no weakness in admitting you don’t feel like yourself. That’s the first stage in being able to do something about it.

Put Good Food Into Your Body
The food that we eat certainly makes an impact on our bodies. Unhealthy food or junk food as it’s otherwise known can provide us with that temporary good feeling, but in fact, it’s not really going to help boost our mental wellbeing for the long-term. You should be trying to get as much fruit and vegetables into your diet as possible and think about moderation when it comes to your plate sizing. A lot of us will tend to make our portion sizes way too large, and so it’s good to bring this back to a more suitable level.

Take Time Out When You Need It
Everyone deserves and needs a break, so it’s good to take time out when you need it. It might just be going away for the weekend with your partner or having a week off from work to sit at home and relax. There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a bit of time off when you need it, and as we’re all human, we all need a break.

Prioritize You Before Work
And lastly, always prioritize yourself before work. No job is ever worth your mental health and when you need to take a step back to breathe, then do so. Speak to your line manager about work and how you can manage your time better to make for a better life balance.

There are many ways to help promote good mental health, so ensure you’re doing some of these for yourself.

  1. New Strategies To Make Your Daily Routine A Little Healthier says:

    […] You need to do some form of physical activity every day if you want to make your routine a little healthier. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym, however. Most people don’t have the time or the willpower to do that, which is fine. All that matters is keeping your body moving on a daily basis. Perhaps you could start tracking your steps to motivate you to work out more often. You could start by trying to hit 5000 steps every day – you could go on a walk during your lunch break or perhaps even a jog when you get home from work. As time goes on, you could set yourself bigger challenges to help increase your daily physical activity. This would benefit your physical health, but exercise also helps your mental health; it reduces stress and releases endorphins to improve your overall mood. […]
