Mental health is a state of mental well-being that allows a person to cope with stress, realize their potential, learn and work, and contribute to their community.

Mental health is a fundamental human right and an integral part of a person's overall physical condition. Mental well-being is the foundation of individual and collective ability to make decisions, build relationships, and shape the world.

How to improve mental health? By building your psychological resilience.

Psychological resilience is the ability to cope with adversity by maintaining, restoring, and nurturing mental health, personal integrity, and social connections.

There are five components of the psychological resilience formula:

Values. These are the meanings that a person freely chooses and resonates with. Values determine how a person strives to live and act despite different life circumstances.
Effective action. Despite difficulties, a person tries to move forward with hope. Effective action is an action that
- is connected with the person's values;
- focused on the main tasks;
- balanced and wise;
- is realized together with other people.
Useful thinking. This way of thinking helps to direct attention and actions in the most effective way. It is important to remember that human thinking can be positive and negative. Therefore, you can learn to choose useful thoughts and change unhealthy beliefs about yourself and the world.
Effective regulation of energy and emotions. To get through a period of testing, it is important to take care of a sufficient level of energy. To do this, you should: monitor your condition, plan your energy expenditure wisely, and restore your energy reserves in a timely and efficient manner. You also need to learn to regulate your emotions.
Relationships. Relationships that provide a sense of security, love, and acceptance are important at all stages of life. To build resilience in times of adversity, we need to interact, support, help each other, and manage emotions.

Follow a daily routine

nikaverkara — 2024-06-25 11:52:48 UTC

Try to start and end your day with simple rituals, such as washing your face or having a cup of tea. It will also be helpful to make a to-do list for the day. Remember that this list shouldn't be too long. Instead, it should include a list of must-dos and rituals that promote recovery.

Regular sport

nikaverkara — 2024-06-25 11:54:32 UTC

Try to move regularly. Choose what you like - walking, dancing, fitness, yoga, or other physical exercises. Physical activity should not be exhausting. Instead, it should be systematic.

Rest

nikaverkara — 2024-06-25 11:56:53 UTC

Realize that rest is as much a human need as eating or sleeping. Therefore, try to set aside time for rest every day. Choose your own list of resource activities, such as reading books or playing with your pet.

nikaverkara — 2024-06-26 08:55:52 UTC

Limit alcohol and smoking, or give them up completely. Also, avoid unhealthy foods such as chips or fast food in your daily diet. Reduce your time on social media and take care of your information hygiene.

Do not use medicines without a prescription

nikaverkara — 2024-06-26 08:56:31 UTC

Do not buy medicines without a doctor's prescription. Remember that there are no universal pills to improve mental health. If you want to take vitamins, consult your family doctor first.

Avoid unqualified help

nikaverkara — 2024-06-26 08:56:56 UTC

Do not consume content from people who are not qualified psychologists, psychotherapists, or psychiatrists.

Do not face challenges alone

nikaverkara — 2024-06-26 08:58:25 UTC

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it is a sign that a person understands their vulnerabilities and is ready to work on them.

Body scan exersize

nikaverkara — 2024-06-26 09:04:47 UTC

During a body scan exersize, the goal is to cultivate inward awareness and tune into the physical sensations throughout your body. Bring your attention to the present moment and observe the various sensations that arise without judgment or an attempt to change them. Simply notice the ebb and flow of sensations, allowing them to come and go without interference.
