Mental Health Awareness

May just happens to be Mental Health Awareness month so what better month to have a blog about mental health awareness then now. If many tuned in earlier this month I released a featured podcast episode including healthy yearly seasonal self-care tips to check out and maybe use yourself. When looking at this it is important to know self-care is vital for everyone and that there is nothing selfish about it. This can be a misconception of the term but the way we take care of others, of daily life, is also affected by the way we take care of ourselves.

On these notes, mental health is real, and it matters. So we need to be kind towards it, towards ourselves, and towards others. We never know what someone has going on and never know what someone has battled.

Going back to 1949, this is when the mental health awareness month was established due to the importance of the wellbeing towards lives and giving a chance to celebrate recoveries because mental health is an essential part of one’s overall health. This month was created in hopes to educate others by bringing about the attention to this and providing resources while decreasing stigma behind it.

Mental Health can include emotion, psychological needs, and social well-being. Meaning it contributes to the way we feel, think, and act. It determines how we will handle stress, relate to others, and make choices whether healthy or not.

With this being said mental health is vital for every stage of life from being born to growing old and with everything in between.

Taking these facts and statement into consideration what are your thoughts on mental health and how will this awareness help you moving forward?

If you missed the podcast episode below is the link to take you there. Maybe you can create a self-care list of your own and take care of your mental health or even help others to do so!
