Mental health is one of the biggest concerns worldwide in society today. There have been recent unexpected events and changes that have impacted mankind and in turn have changed mindsets. These include climate change, increased erosion of humanity and human values, materialism and emerging transactional relationships. Above all the Pandemic has left us alone for the moment and is still lurking around in the shadows but its impact on mental health is deep and life changing. The problem is that like most mental health professionals profess, there are many who have mental health problems who don’t come out in the open or many who themselves don’t know that they have these problems.
The root cause of mental health is a ‘negative thinking mindset’. The state of your mind, dictates the state of your health and well-being. When you have a ‘positive thinking mindset’ your positivity boosts self confidence and in turn happiness which make you become your best version. You look at an opportunity in every threat and pause at a crisis sure that you will come out of it. On the other hand a ‘negative thinking mindset’ makes you a negative person, loose sense of self esteem and confidence. You find it difficult to complete simple tasks. You get frustrated and irritable. And while all this is happening to you, stress hits you pumping chemicals into your system and your health goes for a complete toss.
