10 Intuitive Approaches for Keeping

Your Mental Health Sound

Mental health is one of the determinants of your life that you seldom nurture
being entangled with a scheduled life. It is the mind and the brain that keeps
you moving, ensures that your body functions properly. Albeit the growing
awareness for strengthening mental health these days, the issues related to
mental trauma, is still a taboo for many.

A lot amongst you do not share the slightest anomalies of mind rather
suppress it down the darkest alley of your brain where nobody can reach
out. Even if you are precarious of sharing your mental condition to any
professional source, there’re legions of ways for nourishing your mental
wellness. We have formulated a 10-stepped intuitive approach for circulating
your way towards a sound mental health:

Challenge Your Brain

Human brain has the ability to learn and grow in unfathomable ways. When
you don’t provide your brain the scope to decipher challenges, but keep
repeating the same wake-up and repeat cycle, the most nurtured of your
brain cells starts misbehaving. Accordingly, you should always rewire.

By rewiring we don’t imply that you have to be a grand master at the chess
board, all you need is frequent interactive escapes. Such interactive
measures might include playing SUDOKO or Word Scrabble with your
friends, reading about innovations, watching movies that instill food-for-
thought. If you are a student, cracking cases would not only stimulate your
mental well-being but also make you smarter than before. If you are the
workaholic who works through the day, try watching the lives of people who
move you.

Practice Self-Love, but Not Self-Pity

Do you have those weakening moments when you doubt your worth? At
such moments you start to compare yourselves with others and the result is
not so desirable, you develop a sense of self-pity.
To get rid of such mental confusion related to low self-esteem, identify your
strengths and weaknesses. Being too harsh on your-self is never the answer
to becoming self-aware. You need to work on your shortcomings as well as
give credit to yourself on things you have achieved so far. This is called the
lesson of self-love and it heightens one’s mental health.

Eat Healthy
We bet you know that absence of right nutrition into the brain make you
prone to mental illnesses, undesired fatigue? Scientifically, it has been
proven that you are very often likely to be what you eat.

What we imply here is that besides your daily food routine you need actual
nutritionally enriched food for possessing sound mental health. If you’re a
youngster who devours junk food, soda, and sodium-enriched late night
snacks, you are probably welcoming depression your way. If you’re in your
mid 30’s-40’s you need more attention on your eating patterns for not
developing mental illnesses as dementia later on.

To be not struggling with mental health concerns start the habit of

consuming Super-foods, Whole grains, Greens, Vitamins. For the caffeine
dependents, lower the number of cups, but don’t give up altogether. If you
are finding it too harsh to rely wholly on unprocessed food you can break
routine once or twice, but be sure to restrain by reading the Nutritional Facts
Chart on the packaging.

Balance Your Stress & Work-Load

In the constant race of adding weights to your CV/Resume you probably
have forgotten there’s a limit to it. There remains segregation between
humane and beast-mode level of work.

Surely, you are aware of this but should consider prioritizing work balance
into your routine. Nothing costs more than your sound mental health &
sanity.

Don’t become Anti-Social

With the availability newer sources of social media, it has become easier for
so many of you to conceal behind masked emotions. But such tendencies
submerge your mental health to rock bottom.

The value of staying open and communicating with others cannot be

overemphasized. Why our earlier generations had lesser mental health
issues answers the same. You might think the act of being anti-social is
comfortable in not having to deal with any drama. But, anti-social activities
ultimately beget toxic mental problems as, developing narcissism, narcotics
& drug addiction.

Keep your Physical Senses Alive

You are aware of the fact that sound health and mind are co-related. If you
take part in activities that stimulate sound physique, you’re basically doing
the homework for sound mental health.

The next time you are having an idle day reconsider participating in
Meditation, GYM drills, Relaxing bath with flavored candles, YOGA, Self-care
with beauty rejuvenation etc. If you are ready to snap with;”Where do I
have the time, money, energy for all this?” Then, don’t fret too much and go
for a walk under the starry sky. Healing your way towards sound mental
health isn’t always extravagant.

Adopt a Pet
Did you know that you could learn empathy and healing by the simple act of
adopting pets. Empathy & Healing are the roots for gaining serene state of
mind.

If you are a loner with no siblings around, we understand your agony. You
can learn the first acts of love by rearing, a little rabbit, kitten or tortoise in
your own room. Such little creatures infuse a sense of belonging within you
that goes a long way to creating sound mental health.

Tune up your Life with Music

How many people have you met in life who doesn’t adore music? Music
originated with the design to help people, grow, learn and bring each other
together.
Listening to good dose of music can act almost in medicinal way to soothe
your mental trauma. Music affects your brain on cognitive, motivational,
mood enhancement levels.

Therefore, all you need is to find the playlist that suits you thus reducing
symptoms of depression.

Live in the Present

Do you recall beating up your own mind in the process of contemplating your
past mistakes, failures, erroneous choice of friends? The sad part is, it hits
you in the unexpected of times.

As cliché & mainstream it might sound, past cannot add any value to your
life other than straining your mental health. Therefore, in spite of residing
with past frames of what should have been, and what you could have done
focus on what can I do to avoid my mistakes of past. Eventually, you will not
only get rid of the haunting memories, but acquire sound mental health

Laugh at your Favorite TV-Show & Fall Asleep

Those of you struggling with mental trauma & stress find it very difficult to
maintain uniformity in sleep routine.

Sleep cycles have a lot to conquer in regard to how your brain behaves.
Have you noticed your irritable mood and snapping at everyone after
carrying an all-nighter? Your brain cells behave the similarly after several
insomniac hours.

That is why you recommend you to unburden, by watching any TV-show you
like and make your way towards a good-night’s sleep.

Life is a constant maze that makes you encounter with newer challenges. On
contrary, it is not desirable to lose your sanity in the process of building a
fulfilling life. There’s even no shame in seeking professional help for your
mental healing. Even after undertaking the steps necessary for preserving
sound mental health, do not expect evenness. Healing is not linear and
might leave you bewildered at times. However, you will always remember to
take a breath, smile and connect with others thus taking a hold of the
beauty life has to offer.
