Mental Well-Being
Are you satisfied with your life? The building blocks of mental well-being include daily routines, adequate rest and sleep, time in nature, meaningful activities, regular exercise, nutritious meals, fulfilling and safe social relationships, and sufficient financial security. Your lifestyle and the choices you make each day shape your mood.How Do I Care for My Mind?
We all face hardship, loss, and major life changes during our lives. They are part of human life. The difficulties we face can stir up difficult emotions—sadness, anxiety, anger, despair, and uncertainty— but it’s comforting to know they’re normal and often fade with time. Even simple boredom has value: without dull moments, your mind never truly rests, and joyful moments wouldn’t shine so brightly. Not all changes or crises in life call for professional therapy or mental health services.
