Taking care of your mental health is key to maintaining all other aspects of wellness. Of course, it’s easier said than done. Still, it’s definitely a good idea to check in with yourself occasionally, especially considering everything that’s transpired over the past few years. Let’s face it; we’re still dealing with the aftermath of a global pandemic and constant exposure to negative and triggering news stories. This is all the more reason why now more than ever, nurturing your mental health should be a priority to ensure that you have a healthy mind frame.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out how mental health is just as important as physical health. It’s an essential part of being happy and improves your quality of life by helping you feel good, cope with stress, and make rational decisions. Mental health also has an impact on relationships.

Mental health illness is a major issue that plagues our society. According to The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five people will experience some form of mental health issue during their lifetime. Mental illness can manifest itself in different ways and on many levels, like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and other ailments. Some can even be severe enough to interfere with your day-to-day functions.

 Caring For Your Mental Health

If you are suffering emotionally or mentally, the best solution is to speak to a licensed mental health professional. Also, there are organizations and resources available that can provide support. Meditation or talking to a trusted family member, friend, loved one, or spiritual advisor are other ways to soothe mental anguish.

In addition to seeing a licensed therapist, sometimes reading some inspiring words can bring a little comfort. See the list of quotes below about mental health that will bring awareness, address the stigma, lift your spirits, and empower and motivate you to keep going when times are tough.
