Mental wellness got more attention than ever before
How was your year?
We often measure the results of a good or bad year with external factors, based on what we achieved in the physical world: a new car, a new phone, or a new relationship (be it business/work or personal life related), etc.
How often do you stop to reflect on what you achieved in your inner domain?
For example:
- Are you more productive and engaged with your work?
- Are you less distracted and irritated?
- Are you more stress-free than last year? Last month? Last week?
- Do you get along with others (in your team) better than before?
- Do you feel more alive and more mindful?
- Do you experience better mental well-being than last year?
If not, maybe it's time to change that. What do you think?
We encourage you to look state of your mental wellness and mind health as the very foundation that allows you to achieve external results.
What does self-development demand?
Remember – do you go to fitness training or a gym while you are still feeling relatively physically well or do you start training only after you already have physical problems?
Yes, both options are possible, but what works best for you in your experience? What is more beneficial for you as a person in a long run?
Probably training yourself to stay well, while you are still well. Isn’t it so? But let's look a bit further.
Isn't the true intent here not simply going to the gym, but rather to attain sufficient training to confidently tackle any physical challenge that may cross your path?
We see that this is also equally valid in the case of mental wellness. Traning your mind while well, keeps you well when things get tough.
Why training your matters?
You do well in all life situations when you train your mind to face any mental or emotional challenge.
Having excellent mental wellness as a starting point matters. Especially when you start to face work-related pressure, stress and burnout that can slowly pave a path to depression. It also matters when you experience anxiousness that is combined with stress and worry potent to turn into anxiety disorders.
In our upcoming newsletter next week, we will share insights on how prioritizing mental wellness can benefit both you and your team!
Meanwhile, let's have a short overview of the last year.
Last year mental wellness got more attention than ever before
Last year the UK saw a massive mental health campaign led by the Royal Family. While it focused a lot on mental health problems and talking publicly about mental illnesses, it also revealed that mental health is something that 9 people out of 10 come in contact with.
If you don't face the problem yourself, you likely have a family member or teammate at work who is or was affected by mental health problems or illnesses. That obviously leads to the conclusion that mental health in general needs a much more proactive approach.
At the end of the day, our mental health profoundly impacts every one of us. Prioritizing mental well-being is crucial for a healthier and more fulfilling life.
The relevant questions to ask about your mental health
We all have mental health.
- Is your mental health good or bad? This is the most relevant question to ask!
- When was the last time you evaluated your mental health situation?
- When was the last time you trained your mind?
But what would happen if all of us had proper intrapersonal education and as a result enjoyed good practical intrapersonal skills that empower us to stay well?
What if we all had easy and affordable access to a mental health course that enables us to stay well? Even in situations when we may face a lot of external pressure or face some kind of crisis (like the upcoming global financial crisis that is waiting to happen).
We hope that your next year enables you to change this. We keep working to support you and your team.
We dream that you and the people around you can now focus more on how to prevent mental health problems. That is why we teach intrapersonal skills.
Early and systematic prevention matters as mental health problems affect already so many people around the globe. Proactivity is needed so that we can deal with work-related pressures, stress, and our entrepreneurial journeys.
That is why we are delighted that Dr. Helena Lass and our team managed to get some media coverage for the new proactive mental wellness approach around the globe last year. At the end of the day, we all need excellent mental wellness!
