Mental Well Being Keeps Your Body Healthy

We live in a fast paced society. Everything is moving so quickly, nowadays people like fast food, fast cars, fast money and so on. We are running and trying to push ourselves harder and harder but at the end it exhausts our minds and disturbs our health.
Depression is taking a significant toll on people. Statistics show that over 40 million people struggle with anxiety. It appears that this fast paced life style is disturbing our normal healthy well being.
Wellness is often said to be associated with food and exercise which is correct but not a complete picture. Mental well being is also very important for normal body functioning. Our quality and state of being is much more that just physical. We are emotional, mental, relational and recreational being.

Let us consider some aspects of the body other than just physical and how to keep our mental health good and perfect.

1. Mind and thinking patterns: When we think , what we are thinking about matters a lot. Many times it is only our own perspective of thinking that influence the level of stress, anxiety and worries in our lives. Stress and anxiety are very real and regularly emerge in our minds. Expectations often create pressure. Awareness is the first and the most important step to reach mental well being.

2. Emotions: Emotions are defined as something that can give meaning to our life experiences. We can feel happy, excited, sad, upset, hopeless , surprised and so on. expressing out the emotions provide opportunities for us to connect with others. however sometimes instead of controlling our emotions we feel controlled by our emotions. When this happens a point may come where we are not able to accomplish our goals in a normal healthy way. It is therefore important to learn to control our thoughts because it directly influence our feelings and later on the body over all health and well being.

3. Love And Relationships: Relationships are an important aspect of life, when healthy loving relationships improve one's mood, increases interest in life and offers energy to face challenging life situations. If there are any misunderstanding among relationships a person can go into severe depression and stress leading to impaired body health.


In conclusion it is important to keep our mind and body both healthy to live an enjoying healthy life.
