How to Create Positive Mental Health

Mental health matters. In recent times, it has been used as a crutch to limit the challenges we wish to face. Through the building of positive habits and living out our purpose in a meaningful manner, we can turn it into a trusted asset to support us. Building habits and what we do on a daily basis that we can be proud of supports our positive self-image and a strong belief in what we can achieve. 

Mental health is a fundamental part of who you are and plays a pivotal role in your journey through school and into adulthood. There will be good and bad days; you must become aware of how you feel, how it changes, and what causes these changes. It's a fundamental part of who you are and plays a pivotal role in your journey through school and into adulthood. It is more than seeing a therapist or medicating; it is about being comfortable with who you are and being proud of what you do. It is important to seek help when needed, but building a positive mindset through positive action is best for consistently strong mental health.

Positive Relationships

Strong, supportive, and fulfilling relationships are often at the core of happiness. Social connections provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. You must find environments that make us feel connected, comfortable, and supported.

Personal Fulfillment

Engaging in activities that are purposeful are important to make us feel a sense of progress, accomplishment, and meaning. We must find activities, whether it be a hobby, volunteering, or working toward personal goals, that make us feel good about ourselves.

Healthy Lifestyle

Build and maintain positive physical habits prioritising exercise, nutrition, and sleep. These keep our bodies happy and healthy. Practice mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude to promote mental and emotional health. Create strategies to manage stress to maintain a positive mindset and emotional resilience.

Sense of Control

Having a sense of control over our lives, that what we do matters, and that we control our destiny. It is therefore vital that the decisions we make align with our personal values and desires to generate happiness and reduce anxiety.

Balance

Striving for a balanced lifestyle that includes leisure, relaxation, and self-care is important for maintaining happiness and avoiding burnout. We cannot always achieve our high expectations and must find balance in our pursuits.

Learning and Growth

Pursuing continuous learning, personal development, and skill improvements can lead to a sense of progress and accomplishment, fostering happiness. Having no pursuits guarantees you a life without purpose. Maintain who you are at the core, but develop for the benefit of those around you and yourself.

Financial Stability

While money itself may not guarantee happiness, financial stability can provide a sense of security and reduce stress related to basic needs. Fin

Positive Experiences

Engaging in enjoyable activities, creating positive memories, and seeking out new experiences can enhance happiness. We must continue to seek out new experience in order to grow as people.

Gratitude

Pursuing continuous learning, personal development, and new skills can lead to a sense of progress and accomplishment, fostering happiness. Seek out opportunity for growth.
