Good Mental Health and Self-Care

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. In fact, the mind and body are so connected that when your mental health suffers, your physical health is sure to follow in the form of sickness and stress. Routine self-care plays a big role in making sure you develop good mental habits that will keep you operating at 100%.

The Impact Of Better Self-Care

Here are 5 ways that self-care impacts your mental health in a positive way.

Self-Care Routine that Works For You!

Have you developed a self-care routine that works for you? In these trying times, as we all try to cope with the many challenges that we face, taking some time to develop self-care routines is something that all of us can benefit from.

If you are new to the idea of self-care it can seem like something which is just going to add even more pressure in your busy life at a time when you have so much else to contend with. However, it can be easier than you might think to develop a daily self-care routine that works.

When it comes to self-care, one of the biggest misconceptions is that it takes lots of time and effort to make it work. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

If you’re new to the self-care arena, all of the tips, tricks and ideas floating around on the internet can be overwhelming and leave you feeling lost and unsure about how to start. The good news is, no matter how new you are to the space, a self-care routine isn’t difficult to begin.

Mental Health and Journaling

As I write this post it is World Mental Health Day 2019 and I have been engaging (on Twitter) with various organisations and many of my connections. They have been sharing their thoughts and their own mental health journeys. I am immensely privlidged to have so many connections who share their own challenges and journeys.

All of us are on journeys and as those who have read other posts from me on various sites will be aware I am a great advocate of Journaling. It is an amazing way of capturing those journeys and in particular our learning from them.
