How to be mentally healthy when everything is not okay.

It can be hard to stay positive when the world feels like it’s falling apart. I’m sure you’ve had moments when it feels like everyone is trying to bring you down. It’s hard to focus on the things that really matter when we are so busy avoiding the negative stuff. The good news is that we can take care of ourselves even in the most challenging circumstances. Here are some ways I’ve learned how to stay mentally healthy when everything is not okay.

Nurture your mind.

To nurture your mind, you should find balance in caring for your mental, physical, and spiritual needs. I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic lately, which is something I think is important. It’s not only important to take care of all three of those needs separately (which is already a lot) but also to be careful when combining them. For example, exercising and eating well are both great for your mind and body, but if you over-exercise or don’t eat enough to fuel your body properly, it will affect your performance in other areas of life as well.

Do not let yourself become isolated.

Don’t let yourself become isolated. It’s important to connect with others who will understand what you’re going through—whether it’s family members, friends, or even strangers in your neighborhood or town! Join a community group so you can learn better communication skills and gain confidence in yourself while improving your daily interactions with others.

Make time for things that soothe you.

Want to feel better? Try doing something that soothes you—whether that’s listening to music, going for a walk, reading a book, looking at art or creating something new. You can also try meditation. Meditation is a great way to relax and be at peace with yourself and your surroundings. It’s also good for your mind, body, and soul. Meditation helps you focus on the present moment instead of worrying about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. Meditation can help you find peace within yourself by connecting with your inner self.

Breathe.

Breathing is something we do every day, but it’s also something that can be controlled by choice and decision-making. Once we learn how to control our breathing, we can use it as an anchor for relaxation or focus when needed—and more importantly, as a way to calm ourselves down when things get overwhelming or stressful! Being able to breathe when you need it most will help keep us present and grounded during those times when everything feels like it’s falling apart around us.

You deserve to feel good and be proud of who you are. It’s never too late to start working on that. Sometimes things aren’t okay, and that’s okay. Make a commitment to mental resilience and shameless self-care. You deserve the best from yourself. So take some time to rekindle your self-love spark
