Traditionally, society has defined health by physical factors such as eating well, exercising, and staying hydrated. Health was often seen as just the absence of illness in the body. However, true wellness is not only physical health but also how we think and feel. When our minds are in a healthy place, we feel healthier overall.
Mental health has become a frequent topic in podcasts, magazines, and on social media, but do we truly understand its meaning? Overall wellness is influenced by various factors, with physical and mental health being the most prominent. Unfortunately, many people avoid discussing mental health with others, fearing that no one will truly understand. However, the focus shouldn’t be on making others understand, it’s about prioritizing yourself, living a stress-free life, positive thoughts, and viewing life as a peaceful journey, rather than a constant challenge."
There are many factors that can negatively affect your mental health, such as overthinking, negative thoughts, a complaining attitude, rigid perspectives, or even the inability to say 'no.' A healthy mindset is the foundation of a healthy life. It’s important to regularly check in with yourself and ask: Are my thoughts helping or hindering my mental well-being?"
There are several exercises that can help relax your mind and clear mental blockages, such as yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, going for a walk, playing with pets, watering plants, or simply having someone to talk to. At Seniors on Site, we provide compassionate and attentive companions who can listen, offer emotional support, or simply spend time with you.
