When it comes to mental health, there’s no one-size-fits-all pill or a single magic session that will "fix" everything. The plain truth is, you need to be your own therapist. It’s about showing up for yourself every day, making intentional choices, and doing the inner work—just like you would if you were training a muscle for performance or learning a new skill.
Think about it: You don’t only go to the dentist when you're in pain, right? Regular check-ups and every day routine are key to preventing bigger problems. The same applies to mental health. It's not about waiting for a crisis and treating the symptoms, but rather building a routine of self-care that strengthens your mental resilience.
The path to good mental health involves showing up with mindfulness and awareness on four key levels:
Mind: Become aware of the limiting beliefs and patterns that hold you back. It’s about consciously choosing what thoughts and information you allow into your mind and challenging what doesn’t serve you.
Body: Tune into your body’s signals. Let it feel, let it rest when needed, find comfort in stillness, move it, nourish it, and show it love. When you take care of your body, you create space for mental well-being too.
Spirit/Soul (Emotions): Embrace and accept what you feel—without judgment. By allowing yourself to experience the full range of emotions, you nourish your soul and open yourself to deeper, more authentic happiness. Discover your soul’s purpose and live in alignment with it. Let creativity, expression, imagination, introspection, and mindfulness guide you in channeling and processing your emotions.
Lifestyle Choices: Good mental health is built on small, consistent choices. Eat well, prioritise enough sleep, and be aware and mindful of your daily habits, interactions and the reasons behind them.
