What is Mental Wellness?
Being mentally well is tethered to being physically well. We need to practice, put in the work and continue to perform check ins with ourselves and those that support us to make sure that we are feeling a sense of confidence to control our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This does not happen overnight! It is a lifelong path filled with windy turns to follow, rugged mountains to climb and uncertain doors to open.
When you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions think about these 4 questions:
- What do you think your mind is trying to tell you?
- Where do you need to focus your energy? Our spirit is a large part of our mental wellness, so this one is important.
- Where can you feel this in your body? Our mind and bodies are very connected to one another. One will always impact the other.
- How can your internal compass guide you? What can you do for yourself first before you ask for help? Trust yourself in these moments, listen to that inner voice.
