Happy Weekend to the Fantastic Folks,

I hope you had a good week and weekend to be super-exciting. Hopefully and Mindfully.

So, we're in Social Saturday Edition of Mental Health Awareness Month. Let's socialize and talk about You, Me and We

What are you doing to improve your Mental Health?

Maybe you suffering from a mental health issue or maybe you're all good. Still, mental health is one of the key component to lead a better life. Many of us mostly focused to improve our physical health. Because we do not want to troubled with any medical illness. Even if you caught cold or fever, it sucks. So, we take healthy diets, keeping hydrated, doing regular exercise, regular medical check-ups and all. And, if you're sick, you take prescribed medications timely. So, it shows how concerned and serious we are for our physical health.

Could you say same for Mental Health? I doubt. Because many of us are actually not much aware about mental health. From childhood, we learned the importance of physical health in school, college, workplace, house. Almost everywhere. Many of us learned about Mental Health after becoming adult. Still, some took it lightly while some tried to focus on it. So, it seems not many do much to take care of mental health similar to what they do for physical health.

On 7Cups, everyone know how important mental health is. We, share, learn, practice, improve and grow to take care of our mental health in best possible way. However, what works for one may not work for other person? Because the level of stress could vary from one to another. So, the ways to cope it as well vary.

So, let's discuss mindfully about what are you doing to improve your Mental Health? Any tips and suggestions for me?

Hi Silent thank you for this wonderful check in today-love the cooffee mug toosmileyI do agree with you that sharing on like a cold or a rash is much more easier to ask for help/support. But sharing on mental health is very hard. I do know its possible, depending on ur support,freinds,familt and mental health team. But we all need to improve our mental health. Don't be scared to ask for help-it is very scary sometimes. Have those self boundaries alive and respected. I do hope that many find good ways to talk on their own mental health needs and that 1 person is there to listen and helpheart

hugs to everyoneheartheart

@ASilentObserver Hi Obs! heart How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far! laugh Also, thank you for this amazing post! You are so right! Many people tend to be focused more on their physical health than mental health when we should focus on and give attention to both equally. smiley

So, let's discuss mindfully about what are you doing to improve your Mental Health? Any tips and suggestions for me?
I am trying to improve my Mental Health by doing more of what I love in my everyday life in regards to the business, work, school, and more. Despite being busy for majority of the week, I always try to ensure that I take breaks often, practice mindfulness in some way, and do something that I enjoy, such as practicing a language that I am learning, reading a book, playing mobile games, or watching TV or a movie. I also enjoy going outside, regardless of the weather, just to get a fresh air by walking or going for a drive. It is good to always have a balance. smiley

Hi Observer, you are so right. when i grew up it was all about physical health, one learned to make the body as strong as possible. issues with anxiety etc. were classified as "being weak" so consequently also no ways to keep yourself mentally fine were taught enough.

what helps me very much to switch "off" completely is sitting with a bunch of people and chatting and laughing, laughing, laughing. making stupid jokes. The brain relaxes, pain is highly reduced and the mood goes up, the imune system is strengthened etc. That is what I did this morning when people visited me. Laughter is therapy.
