In recent years we have heard a lot about quality of life, health, eating and healthy habits, body care, etc. All this is very important and we must certainly be aware of it, but we must not forget to take care of mental health.
It is so important and necessary in our lives that the Janeiro Branco campaign was created, to remind us, at the beginning of the year, that it makes no sense to make promises of change (whether in the financial field, whether in relationships, or the decision to follow a regular diet and exercise) if we do not take care of our emotions, if we do not cultivate good feelings and do nothing to take care of mental health.
- That is why this campaign was born.
- So that we may strengthen ourselves.
- Learn about ourselves.
- Be aware of who we are and what we want.
- So that we can succeed in other areas of life.
When mental health doesn’t go well, any frustration is a reason to give up, so if we have success at work as a goal for the year, and at some point, something unexpected happens that we don’t know how to handle, if our minds and emotions are weakened, we’ve abandoned the original idea, we start to believe that nothing will work and that we will never achieve it.
This way of acting on something that went wrong for a moment is repeated in several areas of life: in the conjugal relationship, in the family relationship, in the diet, and the fear of failure leads us to give up on the first. challenge, because we are not mentally and emotionally prepared to take risks, go further, get out of the comfort zone and glimpse new horizons, in this way the situation worsens and we stop believing more and more in ourselves and in the possibility. evolution.
As human beings we are a whole, we are biological, social, psychological and spiritual beings, and to have true health, all these areas must be in harmony and well taken care of, because one interferes with the other, one needs the other in full functioning, because the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Lack of mental health affects our body, mildly or severely, there are situations in which a very large emotional pain, difficult to bear and with which we have no one to share with, becomes a physical pain, which medical examinations do not discover.
At other times we do not feel pain, but we feel uncomfortable, tired, hungry, weak, because something is missing, the emotional burden is great, we even tire the physical body leaving us feeling uncouragement for nothing, also happens the opposite, leaving our mind restless, accelerated, prevents us from relaxing and sleeping, causing even more serious problems.
In addition, mental/psychological health is linked to more serious diseases, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease, which can develop due to several factors, be they undeveloped emotions, thoughts and feelings, inappropriate behaviors, negligence. mental health.
For these and other factors we must take care of our mental health, take care of our emotions, feel comfortable with who we are, seek self-knowledge and self-ception, because all this influences our self-esteem and our overall health. .
