Mental Health Awareness Tips

HOW DAILY EXERCISE CAN BETTER YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

Everyone understands regular exercise is a necessary part of their physical health.
Most doctors will recommend getting at least thirty minutes of moderately intense
exercise five times a week to maintain good physical health. However, this is not the

only aspect of your health exercise can influence. Regular exercise also has a
significant positive influence on many mental illnesses and can even boost the mental
health of anyone without a mental illness. Curious about how this happens? Consult
your doctor first before starting any exercise program. Second, check out the gyms in
your area. Most have personal trainers and programs to fit almost everyone needs.
And lastly, discover plans in books that have been written just for how to have better
mental health. Get moving and feeling vibrant and mentally healthy every day!

Take a break and regroup.
There will be times when you are overwhelmed, upset, emotional or distracted.
When this happens, allow yourself to take a break to regroup. Pausing for a bit to
gather yourself doesn't mean signaling defeat; instead, it's a great self-care strategy
that allows you to better deal with challenges in a healthy and successful way.
Review and recalibrate.
Think about things that happened and what you've done and focused on lately

and learn from them. Self-care means taking time to really evaluate if situations,
activities, and relationships in your life are healthy and should
continue. If needed, eliminate, or adjust these things so your
life is filled with positivity and what you enjoy.
Set some goals.
We all have areas of our lives that we wish were different
or want to make a change. While some important things in life
are currently out of our control, each of us has the power to
make individual choices and set goals no matter what difficult
situations and setbacks we may be facing. Take small steps
toward a goal, commit, and do your best!
