To Take Care of Others, Start by Taking Care of Yourself
To cope with the stresses of work and overcome life’s daily challenges, it’s important we stay as mentally well as possible which helps us better overcome challenges, build healthy relationships and work more productively.😊
👇👇👇👇
We can’t share with others a resource that we lack ourselves. The critical starting point is to take our own mental health temperature.
👉How am I doing?
👉What will help me combat anxiety?
👉Am I drinking, eating, or sleeping, or crying too much?
👉What do I need to do to stay connected?
👉What activity will make me feel happier?
💥Start with making a plan that suits you. Begin with keeping to your normal routine as much as possible. One of the best ways to manage through chaos is to anchor yourself in routine.
💥Schedule regular exercise, which has well-documented mental health benefits. Scheduling when you read or watch the news can help keep your consumption measured. If it triggers adverse emotions and bogs you down, skip it for a while, or only consume enough to be current on your local developments.
💥Think of ways to be mentally challenged and engaged through activities such as crossword or jigsaw puzzles, games, reading, or writing.
💥Next, think of ways to be mentally challenged and engaged through physical activities such as riding your bike, walking, jogging and learning new dancing steps.
❣️For me, I enjoy exploring new places and learning about my surroundings whilst enjoying the outdoors. To do some close up exploring, I decided to take advantage of the near empty Melbourne CBD and sporting precincts. To accomplish this, I made myself a list of places I wanted to enjoy while riding my bike and jogging. This gives me fresh air and a change of scenery and also the opportunity to be around people.
👏👏👏
Yes, I’m physically exhausted after each outing, however, I also feel exhilarated and happy knowing that I have sufficiently exercised my mind and body.🏆
Lov my life❣️
Eating healthily, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and avoiding harmful levels of alcohol and other drugs can help you keep your mental health on track, manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve your overall wellbeing😊
