4 Ways to Maintain Your Mental Health

-

Taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health.


Most people understand the importance of having a healthy body, but many people overlook the importance of mental health.

Taking care of your mental health brings you peace and positivity. Taking care of your physical and mental health is a must to live with peace, gratitude, and contentment.
Here are 4 ways you can maintain your mental health and protect your sanity and well-being:

1. Building Self-Esteem

In order to boost your self-esteem,

you have to feel good about yourself.

Do you like who you are as a person?

We need to prioritize ourselves, give importance to ourselves, and nurture ourselves with love and kindness. Surround yourself with those who make you feel good about yourself. We can’t control what others may say about us, but we can control how we react to that. Be aware of your circle; don’t be friends with those who are toxic and only drain your energy.


If people’s opinions upset you for some reason, you need to remind yourself of one thing: people’s opinions don’t define you. Their opinion does not define who you are or your self-worth. Just keep your distance from such people and eliminate them from your life. You will feel an immense positive shift in your life.

2. Find Your Strengths

In times of difficulty, focus on qualities that can help you overcome life’s challenges.

Finding your strength is crucial to coping with difficult times.

Find your weaknesses and also what strengthens you. We may not know what will happen in the future, but we do know that you have been through difficult times before. Each time tough times came into your life, they left you with a gift called a life lesson.

You have been through this before and can fight through them again, so don’t worry. Believe in yourself — you’ve got this. When you accept yourself as you are, the world recognizes you.


3. Practice Self-Affirmation

Bringing positivity into life is a must — the words we choose to use and the people we spend time with matter.

Self-affirmation is a positive act in which you remind yourself of your worth by saying or writing down things you like or admire about yourself. Acknowledging the attributes you love about yourself can give you a huge boost in self-esteem.


  • A few positive self-affirmations are:
  • I love you the way you are.
  • I’m so proud of you; look how far we’ve come.
  • I love what a great friend I am, and I am proud of how I treat my friends.
  • I accept you as you are, and I will carry you till my last moment.

 

4. Take Time for Yourself

To maintain your sanity, you need to take care of yourself and spend time with yourself.

We need to put ourselves first before anything or anyone. It might sound harsh or selfish, but believe me, taking care of yourself and investing your time and energy in yourself is the best thing in the world.

Go for a long walk, take a solo vacation if you can, treat yourself with empathy, listen to music, and spend some time with nature, which can bring you an immense optimistic view of life.

Value yourself even when nobody does

  Once you start growing up, you realize some people don’t like you anymore as they used to or pretended to. You are no longer their favorite if you don’t fulfill their wishes or listen to what they say. Remember, this is your life journey. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions; you need to make choices for yourself. You do not belong to them. Everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is superior to others. There are times when you may feel unworthy, as if nobody values or cares for you. This might be because of your surroundings — they don’t make you feel good about yourself and instead make you feel unimportant. In times like this, you need to gather yourself with love, care, and protection. Do not let people teach you hate. Don’t hang out with such people. When things get difficult, you need to treat yourself with small joys: go to a coffee shop, spend quality time with yourself, or go on a vacation if you can. Surround yourself with nature, and you will fe...

The Power of Giving

  Do you believe in the power of giving? What you give out to the world means you will receive something much better in return as a reward.  Everything you say, the things you do, the words that you choose to say, the act of empathy that you show towards other people — it all becomes part of the universe. Life has a way of paying back all the good things you show through different gestures that will come back to you.  We must become aware of our actions and the work that we do. The things that we bring to the world stay with us and become part of the universal soul of the world. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for the life you have, and spread kindness and empathy toward everyone. The Act of Kindness As human beings, what can we leave to this world? How do we want people to remember us? What should their impression be when they think of us? How do we want them to envision us? We will not take anything from this world, but what we leave on this earth is...

You’re On Your Own, Kid

  Things that didn’t happen in life, those who left you when you needed them the most — maybe those people and those things you wanted weren’t meant for you. You are on your own. Nobody will take care of you, look after you, or check on you if you are having a bad day, a nervous breakdown, or feeling the worst of life with continuous anxiety. You have to take care of yourself. Being 18 years old, I now realize how fast life moves on, how all those years just pass by in a moment. All the things I promised myself to acquire or learn — I haven’t gotten the chance to explore. Time passing by is a reminder of the precious moments slipping away from life. Stop lamenting over the things you haven’t achieved. You are the future of yourself, filled with immense possibilities. You can be whoever you want to be. You can live anywhere in the world if you wish. You are capable of all this. Life is short yet long enough to fight with yourself. Life is short on Earth; it’s important to choose the...
