    10 tips to maintain good mental health

    Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Follow these tips to maintain a good mental state.

    1. Develop a good opinion of yourself.
    According to mental health experts, high self-esteem is the best tool we can use against difficulties in life. Studies show that people with high self-esteem have more confidence in themselves and their capabilities.

    2. Eat well.
    Diet plays a crucial role in mental health; it’s important to have a healthy diet. If you need help with this, consult the Canadian Food Guide. You can also consult a nutritionist for a personalized guide adapted to your needs.

    3. Exercise regularly.
    Physical exercise plays a positive role in your mental health. It causes chemical reactions that are proven to reduce anxiety and stress and put you in a good mood.

    4. Learn how to manage stress.
    Stress is part of life, so you must learn how to deal with it in order to keep your sanity. Discover the source of your stress to find ways to better handle it.

    5. Enjoy the present.
    Learn how to focus on the present rather than being preoccupied with past or future events. This will help you savor life’s little pleasures that you would otherwise miss.

    6. Find your work-life balance.
    If you feel like you’re spending too much time and energy on one part of your life, your work-life balance may be off. Learn to do both! The best way to do this varies from a person to another. Find the strategy that works best for you.

    7. Get enough sleep.
    Lack of sleep affects your mental health as it can cause emotional and psychological problems. Go to bed at a reasonable hour and try to get 8 hours of sleep. It will help you achieve maximum recovery and face the next day with more vigor.

    8. Develop relationships.
    Developing and maintaining solid personal relationships is very beneficial to your mental health. So work on establishing good relationships with people around you, at home, at work or in your community. These contacts will enrich your life and provide you with great support.

    9. Have fun!
    Taking time to laugh and have fun will go a long way in staying mentally healthy. Laughter lifts moral, keeps you in a good mood and releases stress. Find ways to laugh: comic strips, funny videos or joking with friends.

    10. Get help if you need it.
    At some point in your life, you may need to ask for help. If so, don’t hesitate! It takes courage to seek help but it can really change your life. Know that there are many resources out there. Talk to your pharmacist. He will guide you in finding the best options.

    All dam good points, and totally true, the hard part is for some or most is to do it. Fact !

    Kudos, especially here on this forum on your thoughts, even your link is japan, selling which is worth as much as tits on a bore hog, here..

    The list u have posted it absolutely true that all should follow for good health, but for most will not, sadly... ! There is a very proven link, between mind and body.

    11. to add to ur list.. The serenity prayer despite the religion of the individual.

    " God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference." !

    Many here have not a clue, reminds me of a spanish/knight /noble? fighting tilting windmills.

    Be well,

    Exactly! As United States declared war on Japan, Hitler and Germany came forward and stood up for their good friends in Japan...Germany and the Nazi’s ultimately lost the war and this decision under the principle ‘Do what is right not what is convenient.’, was a main contributor to their loss... What does that tell you of the Nazi party and Hitler Kindachi? Morally good or bad?

    THE single MOST important one is missing? why is this? More (subtle) brainwashing I suspect

    Drink NOTHING but pure WATER, (PROPERLY DISTILLED) for your water intake!

    NEVER EVER drink that poisonous "mineral water" pushed in EVERY STORE on EVERY store shelf

    nothing BUT nothing IS BETTER THAN PURE distilled water, NOTHING!

    I'm sure they busted out the distilling equipment in biblical times to get rid of all those poisonous naturally-occurring minerals, the presence of which due to the water running over poisonous rocks.

    Distilled water is bad for life forms, just ask a yeast cell.
