It is
necessary to take care of your mental wellness as a priority and to evaluate
your emotions. The entire month of January is Mental Wellness Month. Mental
wellness is about taking care of your emotions. It is also about taking care of
your psychological well-being and social well-being. Taking care of your mental
health requires you to focus on many aspects of your life such as work, family,
your physical health, your emotions, and your overall wellness.
Mental
wellness can be improved and can be balanced by concentrating on your emotional
and physical health. However, select activities that help you relax and restore
your physical health while improving your emotional health. Some activities
such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation, art, walking, and jogging can assist you
in finding an equilibrium in your life. Other activities such as dancing,
aerobics, swimming, playing with puzzles, crosswords, or simply writing in a
journal can help reduce your stress. It is recommended to take one week at a
time and have an activity as a focal point for your mental well-being.
Be
patient with yourself. Add self-care and take breaks throughout the week,
especially on busy workdays. Connect with family and friends while making new
friends who share similar hobbies with you. Practice self-acceptance,
self-love, self-worth, and self-respect as part of your mental wellness. But
always remind yourself to take breaks to avoid mental and physical burnout.
Make a
schedule for relaxation throughout the week even it if is for fifteen minutes
or less. Use aromatherapy or incorporate fragrant oils to help you relax while
you meditate. Also, drink hot Peach tea, Rose tea, Jasmine tea, or other floral
fruit teas while you practice mindfulness. Lemongrass tea or citrus teas are
also beneficial for improving your mood and helping you relax. As well as
smelling roses and other fragrant flowers can make you feel calm, especially on
busy workdays.
Self-compassion
is also necessary to incorporate when you practice mindfulness. Being kind to
yourself in the present moment without self-judgment. Practice breathing slowly
while holding a river rock stone, a flower, or a key to help you focus on your
breathing exercises. Put your hand on your heart and hug yourself. Write in
your journal with kind words about yourself.
Dedicate
one day at a time to your mental wellness. Speak to someone and bond with them
about your feelings. Listen to yourself and slow down for doing a self-care day
or a day for mindfulness. Seek counseling and therapy for your mental
well-being. Here are resources about Mental Wellness Month.
