What an interesting show on Mental Health this week. So what exactly is mental health? We learned that mental or emotional health refers to your overall psychological well-being. It's the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with life's challenges.
It's easy to get your head together, and you've already taken the first step by looking into mental health. Remember, it all starts from within that noggin of yours! :)
Experts say taking care of your body is a powerful step towards empowering your brain. The activities you participate in and the daily choices you make effect the way you feel physically and emotionally.
Here are some additional tips:
- Exercise to relieve stress - for at least 30 minutes a day.
- Get enough sleep - Most people need 7-8 hours a sleep to be the their best
- Eat well- What you put in your body effects your energy and your mood.
- Hello sunshine - Apparently the sunlight lifts your mood - try to get at least 15 minutes of sun per day. Of course don't forget your sunscreen!
- Limit alcohol and avoid cigarettes - Experts say they have long-term consequences on your mood an emotional health.
Thanks for listening to the show.
We will see you next week for a very powerful show on human labor and sex trafficking. You may be surprised to find out it's not just a problem abroad, but also right here in the United States.
