Mental health is a journey. Pay more attention to your feelings, what you think and how your respond to situations.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Recovery: Four major dimensions support a life in recovery:
- Health: Make informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.
- Home: It is important to have a stable and safe place to live.
- Purpose: Engage in meaningful daily activities, such as a job or school, volunteering, caring for your family, or being creative. Work for independence, income, and resources to participate in society.
- Community: Build relationships and social networks that provide support.
Be cognizant of your own mental health journey. Take time to rest, relax, and release. Take better care of you.
Be well....
