      29 November 2021Mental Health / WellbeingTo ensure your car is in good condition, you have to check the oil and water regularly, fill it with petrol, and gauge the tyres’ air always. Likewise, you need to have a steady deposit in your bank account to see the balance grow. But when it comes to your health, do you give what your body requires to flourish and be active? Sadly, most people can easily take their mental health for granted. They prefer to focus on other tasks first and postpone the adequate care their health requires until other times. Some people even find prioritising their mental health as something challenging to do, while it’s not. But, irrespective of who you are, there are specific tips you can use today to boost your mental health and wellbeing. These include the following. Be Active and Eat Well Both mental and physical health are closely related, so eating nutritious food and adding exercise every day can make you feel better. Create Time for Enjoyable Activities It is crucial to balance life. As such, creating time for activities that bring you excitement can significantly make a difference in how you feel and think. Get Enough Sleep and Rest Insufficient sleep affects human physical and mental health. But when you’re stressed or busy, taking enough sleep and rest can help relax your nerves. Build Your Confidence Learning is the key to improving your mental fitness. So, involving yourself in a new challenge, for example, can help you build confidence and a sense of achievement. Ask for Help When You Need it You need assistance from time to time, and when it is not coming naturally, ask for it. Cultivating the habit of talking to a medical professional, friends or family members can make all the difference....

      4 November 2021Developing ResilienceLoneliness affects everyone, especially older adults. It is a feeling of distress that triggers when you lack the social contact you should have. Sometimes, you can have people around you, but still, you feel lonely. In most cases, old age experiences can make people feel lonely. This includes retirement, hearing or sight loss, serious health problems, loss of a close relative, or caring responsibilities. Other causes of feelings of loneliness include: * Living on a low income prevents you from social gatherings * Being too shy or suffering from social anxiety * Living alone The following ways will help you deal with loneliness. 1. Identify Why You Feel Lonely You can’t deal with loneliness without identifying the reasons behind it. So these questions will probably help you determine why you feel lonely. * Do you feel more lonely when certain people are around you? * When do you mostly feel lonely? * What do you feel like doing when you’re lonely? * Are there times when this feeling leaves you? These questions and more could help you identify why you often feel lonely. 2. Start a Journal Journaling can better help you track your thoughts and feelings of loneliness. Start by staying in a comfortable place for about 20 minutes to write every day. Write what you are primarily thinking about or how you usually feel. You can also use a prompt that demonstrates how you feel at certain times or for a particular reason. 3. Talk to a Therapist You may find it challenging to detect why you’re feeling lonely and what to do to make loneliness a thing of the past. For example, feelings of loneliness may suggest you’re depressed or have a neglected mental health condition. On the other hand, talking to a therapist might reveal the cause and potential solutions to your loneliness....
    • Advice for Adults from an Online CasinoAdvice for Adults from an Online Casino
      22 October 2021WellbeingAnyone can win big from an online casino game, but this actually goes beyond just registering an account. It involves other personal involvements such as depositing your funds, looking for casino games with the best odds and bonus offers and trying your luck in the gameplay. The same goes for older adults; remaining in good health requires a lot more than what treatment and medication alone can do. The piece of advice here is for those people who want their loved elders to age as vibrantly, independently and comfortably as possible. Use Care Providers at Home Look for care providers who offer their service in your home (outside a hospital setting). Those interested care providers offer their service through telehealth appointments or home visits. This is similar to searching for the best online casinos that will not only add fun to the gameplay but also offer exciting bonuses. Similar to how the mFortune casino bonus takes the lead, you should ensure you are hiring a care provider willing to show your loved adults additional attention. The implication is that those providers should understand what it really means to care for someone, and it will make you confident in their services. Then, try to coordinate services among the care providers, the primary health care doctor and the house cleaner. Lastly, consider what you want for your loved elders in the care regimens. Motivate them to be at the centre of the decision making. Let them decide what type of care they want and where and when they prefer to receive it....
    • Three Effective Ways to Overcome a Bad MoodThree Effective Ways to Overcome a Bad Mood
      12 October 2021Mental HealthGetting upset or being in a bad mood is normal. Many things can lead to negative feelings, such as joblessness, unstable health conditions, or the death of a close friend, among others. Irrespective of what led to an unpleasant mood, it’s vital to get rid of it. And the good news is, you can overcome a bad mood and control your emotions, but it takes commitment. Therefore, the following three ways can help you conquer a bad mood. 1. Take Time Out Try to take a few moments out and do something different. This will help you eradicate all your negative thoughts. For example, spending some time in the bath can help soothe both your body and mind. You can also relax at a bar and visit mFortune online casino on your mobile for exciting gameplay. 2. Discover and Talk About the Cause Your bad mood is caused by something, so discover and talk about it with a friend. Sharing a problem is the first phase of its solution. Your spirit will keep getting darker the more you keep bottling it up. So, consider talking to a friend about your problem, and you’ll feel a lot better. 3. Overcome a Bad Mood with Exercise Exercise is not only good to keep your body fit, but it’s also a great way of overcoming a bad mood. This is because the chemicals in the brain known as endorphins are released during an exercise session. These chemicals are responsible for making you feel good. Consider a game of squash as one of the best options to take your bad mood out on the ball....
    • Four Strategies for Developing Resilience for Mental WellbeingFour Strategies for Developing Resilience for Mental Wellbeing
      2 October 2021Developing Resilience / WellbeingWhile a crisis can sometimes help us redefine our lives spontaneously, building reliable habits and behaviours is the best way to acquire resilience. These virtues will be readily available when life seems uncertain and unstable. You can use resilience skills during hardship to create a brighter future. The following strategies will help you develop resilience for mental wellbeing. 1. Understand Yourself You should know who you are, including your strengths and weaknesses. Then, attempt various tasks to learn what makes you tick, which will reveal your passions. A time well spent is the period you take to reflect on what you want and value. You can check your mental alertness every morning by asking yourself these questions: * What makes me happy in life? * What are those aspects bothering me? * How am I feeling today? * Is there anything I can do to change these feelings? 2. Invest in High-Quality Relationships To a significant extent, high-quality relationships with friends and family determine the success of our lives. Keep relationships with people who would value you for who you are and, in turn, make it visible that you equally appreciate them. Stop going to places where you are not appreciated or meeting people who don’t value your personality. Also, avoid people who blame you for their misconduct. However, don’t blame yourself for their actions nor point fingers at them back. It’s not essential that everyone likes you! 3. Deal with Your History Everyone has a history of traumas and emotional injuries that are likely to build up to harmful stages when we refuse to tackle their influence on us. The effect of historical events can gradually increase when we’re overpowered by new possibilities or simply by the stress and pressures we come across every day. It is worth noting that only a professional consultant can process trauma effectively. 4. Focus on Positive Events Rather than focusing on what is likely to go wrong, develop the habit of noticing things that are going well during the day. If you choose to focus on positive events, there’s every tendency that you can increase the balance of good to bad moments. To do this, appreciate and be grateful for every small thing that comes your way daily. This doesn’t mean you have to ignore negative occurrences; it only helps you choose where to pay attention....
    • Developing Resilience: Guide to Facing the Challenges, Crises and Adversities of LifeDeveloping Resilience: Guide to Facing the Challenges, Crises and Adversities of Life
      1 September 2021Developing ResiliencePeople often talk about the significance of resilience when reacting to challenges we sometimes encounter in life. But what is resilience, and why is it important? What is Resilience?  Resilience is our ability to withstand day to day challenges by using the available resources within and around us. Of course, being resilient doesn’t mean you do not experience suffering, stress and emotional upheaval. However, it is an opportunity to illustrate how well we can perform under life difficulties. To some people, resilience is a correlation to mental toughness. However, working through your emotional pain and suffering is an excellent way to demonstrate resilience. Why is Resilience Important? Resilience is an essential part of human life because it gives the strength required to process and overcome hardship. Conversely, people who lack resilience can become quickly subdued, and they’re likely to turn to weak tolerance mechanisms. Resilient people have the strength and support systems they can tap into to overcome life challenges and work through problems. Examples of Resilience  Examples of resilience include: * Emotional Resilience: This allows an individual to tap into realistic optimism in the face of difficult situations * Physical Resilience: This is the ability of the body to adapt to crisis and recovery quickly * Community Resilience: This refers to the proficiency of a group of people in the community to react to and recover from unfavourable situations, such as economic hardship, acts of violence or natural disasters...
    • Basic Understanding of Mental Health and Well-BeingBasic Understanding of Mental Health and Well-Being
      28 July 2021Mental Health / WellbeingWhether you’re living with a mental illness or not, it’s essential to understand what it means to be mentally healthy and living well. What is Mental Health?  Mental health is a constructive idea corresponding to the emotional and social well-being of individuals and communities. Being mentally healthy or having good mental health is beyond not falling sick; it’s instead a state of complete well-being. The influence behind this concept is culture, but it commonly refers to: * Satisfaction of life * The ability to withstand and recover from illness, sadness and stress * The ability to set a goal and fulfil it * Being able to develop and maintain relationships with other people The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples mostly use the term “social and emotional well-being” to reflect an advanced holistic view of health. Some people with different cultural and linguistical backgrounds also use this term. They tend to have varying ideas of mental health and mental illness. Factors Influencing Mental Health and Well-Being Many psychological, biological, social and environmental factors are influencing mental health. These factors interact in complex ways, including: * Individual factors such as the capability to cope with stress and manage thoughts and having social and communication skills to connect with other people * Community factors such as activities to highlight and embrace diversity, a positive sense of belonging, participation in the society, social support, and community connectedness * Structural factors such as freedom from discrimination and violence, safe living environments, education, employment, and access to economic resources Steps to Mental Well-Being  Steps to improve your mental well-being include: Connect with other people: Take time each day to talk with friends and family, play games with children, have a banquet with colleagues and more! Be physically active: Engage in swimming, cycling, biking, jogging, or even dancing. You can also find other free activities that can help you get fit. Learn new skills: Work on DIY projects, try new challenging hobbies, or consider signing up for a course online or at a college. Give to others: Offer yourself to assist others in their projects and volunteer in your community home care, hospital or schools....
