Wellness is the state of being in good physical, mental and social health and not merely the absence of disease. It is especially an active process that sometimes requires setting goals and adhering to a strict regime to achieve that goal.

While the focus for wellness has been on maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, a healthy mental state is equally as important. If neglected, it could unsettle all efforts to stay well.

Let’s not kid ourselves, broken minds are everywhere, not just in mental institutions but in our neighbourhoods, homes and offices.

Here are a few tips to help your minds to wellness

Love and Accept yourself

A negative self-image could reduce the quality of a person’s life and lead to health problems like eating disorders and depression. So, it is time to turn the attention on yourself and show yourself some love.

Do not dwell on the past or worry about the future, live in the present.

You do not have the power to change the past, so focus on living in the present, because the present is what will shape your future.

Surround yourself with those who make you smile.

People have a huge impact on your life. When you’re surrounded by good people who make your smile, you’re surrounded by life. You’ll have less stress and find more joy.

Think optimistically and follow your passion

Rid yourself of the negative comments and maintain a positive mindset. Uncover exactly what passions excites you and nurture it over time. Then go for it and pursue that dream!
