What really consists a healthy person? Is it only the physical? The mental? In the Psychological aspect? Or the emotional stability of a person? Well then, these factors are very important, but above them all, we need to maintain a healthy and stabilized mental fitness.
In order for us to be mentally healthy, we need to be provided with our basic need like, food, shelter, clothing, medicine, etc. because if we have accomplished these needs, there’s no factor that may contribute for our physical illnesses that may lead to the mental instability.
Then, we need to have proper diet for the proper circulation of the blood in our body, as well as the proper distribution of the vitamins and minerals in all parts of our systems.
Next, we need to have proper relaxation and rest. We are not robots. We are humans! And as a human being, we normally ran out of energy after all the activities that we have done during the span of time that we are awake. At least 8 – 10 hours of sleep must be done everyday. If we have enough sleep, then our body is so relaxed that we can think well and we are capable of doing right decisions.
Our stress and depressions must be released in a proper way, such as activities that involve the mind, like for example, Chess or Scrabble; these are very good mind games. These games enhance our logical analysis that exercises our brain.
We also need physical exercises like, Badminton, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, etc. for the proper release of our emotions. In such a way, our emotions must be properly released. It must not be stocked up in our minds in such a way that it has no way to be released.
The feeling that we are secured and we are confident enough that we have friends, or family members, that we can rely on especially in times that we are down, and during the times, that we have someone to share our laughter and happy times with. The sense of belongingness is one major factor that affects our mental fitness.
And above it all, LOVE must always be present and felt from all the members of the family, friends, and everybody around. When there’s love felt and expressed, such felling of confidence and security is always there in which we know that through these people, we are able to talk to them and release whatever emotions stuck inside our hearts. I don’t know how to explain it further for people to know how important love is, in the contribution of our mental health. But I know that one thing’s for sure, it is so important that it is the biggest factor that has a correlation with our whole being.
