Your mental health and physical health is your most valuable asset. If you don’t have your health, everything else in life falls apart. In order to function normally in all of life’s responsibilities, and to be able to perform all of your life’s tasks on a daily basis, you need to maintain your mental health as well as your physical health.

Manage your mental health

Because your mental health affects the way you approach your day, it’s important to manage it as best you can. Try different types of exercises and techniques that will try to calm you down if you are nervous or upset. Also, try not to think about negative things and do not allow negative thoughts to occupy you. Drive them away!

Family

A very important part of the fight against mental health is that you have to share with your loved ones what is bothering you. That way they will be able to help you and you will get rid of the burden of hiding something from them.

Conversation

If you notice that you are struggling, do not be afraid to ask for support and help. Conversation is very important as well as having real people around you who love you and want to help.

Make socialization a priority – especially face to face

Humans are social beings with emotional needs for relationships and positive relationships with others. We are not destined to survive, let alone progress in isolation. No matter how much time you dedicate to improving your mental and emotional health, you will still need the company of others to feel and function in the best possible way. Our social brain longs for society – even when experience has made us shy and distrustful of others.

Why is a face-to-face relationship so important?

The key is interacting with someone who is a “good listener”, who you can talk to in person on a regular basis. Also who will listen to you without your own concept of how you should think or feel. Phone calls and social networks have their place, but nothing can surpass the power of quality face-to-face socializing with other people that relieve stress and elevate mood. A good listener will listen to the feelings behind your words and will not interrupt, condemn or criticize you. Make eye contact and exchange a smile, a friendly greeting or a little conversation.

Many people have a fear of public speaking. In fact, it is very difficult to find a person who does not have that fear. Check HERE for some answers.
