Finding Resources: A Holistic Approach
The number one resource available to understand our mental wellness is ourselves. Checking in with ourselves on a consistent basis can help us better understand and isolate divergence from mental wellness. Only we know where we are on our mental wellness journey and where we want to be. We need to want to do research and be proactive for the most fulfilling outcome. Finding resources should take a holistic approach that incorporates a mental wellness routine that includes at a minimum:
The Mental Wellness Journey: A Path to Acceptance
Societally, mental health has been synonymous with mental illness. The negative connotations, misconceptions, stigmas, and general lack in understanding have become even more pronounced in ever connected modern society. Once we, as a society, understand the positive aspects of mental wellness we will be better prepared to accept mental health for what it is and work towards improved resilience, perspective, and overall quality of life.
Taking Action: The Benefits of Striving for Mental Wellness
In a busy world we often find ourselves focused on daily responsibilities, parenting, working, socializing, and sometimes just getting through the day. While these tasks are an important aspect of daily life, it is equally important to take care of our own mental health in day-to-day experiences to strengthen our mental wellness.
Mental Wellness: A State of Mental Health
With the current world population estimated to be 8.2 billion, everyone contributes their uniqueness to what makes the fabric of the world. While we maintain a vast amount of uniqueness between individuals, it is said that we have more in common than differences. One universal factor that exists within us is mental health. Within mental health is a state known as mental wellness.
