Balancing Mental Health Care in Heels of Busy Lives

 **Balancing Mental Health Care in Heels of Busy Lives** 

 

 It could mean that most people hardly find time to attend to their mental selves in the light of a busy world that has been pressured by globalization. But,” said Jane, and her voice sounded thoughtful, ‘You know, looking after your mind is as necessary as looking after your body, particularly when a lot of work is piling up. ’ Following are some fundamental measures which may help to keep the mental health of any person optimum even in a very busy day. 

 

 **1. ‘Use of Morning Rituals in Mindfulness. ’ 

 The following is an elaboration of some of the ways that one can actually start his/her morning: You should commence by spending a few minutes in meditation. This ranges from slow deep breathing through to meditation or even 5-10 minutes of time in a quiet place – with all of which helps to place the person in the right frame of mind for the day ahead. 

 

 **2. Prioritize Sleep** 

 Resting is, therefore, one of the contributing factors towards sound mental health or the absence of it. Adults should be able to have a sleep of not less than 7 to 8 hours every night. However, if you have a few hours before you have to sleep, try to draw a rather a casual list of things that one might need prior going to bed such as reading a book or listening to some tunes. 

 

 **3. Stay Active** 

 It is not only an approach towards making one’s body a bit better, but it has a rather positive effect on the psychological part of a person’s life. You know, endorphines, the ‘feel good’ factor, can be produced from as little as a 15 minute walk or even stretching! 

 

 **4. Set Boundaries** 

 Know when to turn a job down: working on too many tasks leads to too much load being laden on the part of the student. Divide the jobs into priorities and always spare yourself sometime to stand back. But do not forget that it is OK to have likes and dislikes and that there is a time to take a break from all the likes. 

 

**5. Connect with Others** 

 It should therefore be noted that in order to be mentally healthy, people also require having social relations. Even speaking on the phone with a friend, or a family member can manage loneliness, and allow a person to better express their feelings. 

 

 **6. Practice Gratitude** 

 Take 5 to 10 minutes of your day and look for things to be grateful about. This small activity alters the perception from the negative to the positive and improves a person’s attitude. 

 

 At the same time, I must remind you that, if you tiptoe through the tulips and do something every day for your own mental health, then the best of jobs and the best of lifestyle in the follow years buys precious little. If health is not only the body but also, in a way, the soul, look after your soul as you would your body.
