We are always worried about our physical health. The truth is our mental health is more important as it impacts your life in lot more ways than just being physically fit. Here are some habits to improve your mental well-being.
1. Gain self awareness
Observe your thoughts, behaviors and actions. You can become more objective and make better decisions.
By gaining self-awareness, you can understand yourself and even others better.
2. Learn how to deal with negativity
Making decisions can be made more difficult when one is in a bad mood or circumstance. Examine the circumstance and seek out constructive ways to combat negativity
Yoga and meditation practices can be helpful in these circumstances.
3. Keep track of your physical and mental health
Physical health and mental health go hand-in-hand. Make sure your fitness levels are assessed periodically. Aim for a healthy weight and a positive relationship with food. Diabetes and heart problems are known to be associated with anxiety and depression. Stress can also lead to asthma, systemic hypertension, acne, hair loss and many other diseases
4. Be strict about screen timing and sleep
With the easy availability of OTT platforms and social media, it is becoming difficult to stay away from the screen. Set a timer on how long you want to use your phone or system. Being on social media all the time can lead to stress and a variety of mental health problems. So, take frequent pauses.
5. Practice mindfulness and be grateful
Mindfulness helps increase focus, improves productivity and gives a sense of well being. It is all about being in the moment during a certain task and doing away with distractions for that amount of time.
Follow these techniques and see how these can bring a change in your personal and professional life.
