Okay, I know with the title it seems like yet another article over the same old topic of Mental Health. That’s all everyone is talking about these days. I get it. But honestly there is not enough said about this topic yet. It is important and now that the generation is such that wants to talk and discuss and give importance over what’s inside as much as what’s outside, it is bound to be one of the most talked about, discussed topic currently.
Mental Health is as important as a healthy heart, a healthy liver or healthy skin. If we believe in heart attacks, kidney failure, we should definitely believe in mental or nervous breakdown, depression, anxiety and other issues with mental health. Don’t just brush it off saying there is nothing as such.
Anyways, I wanted to talk more about how much a break is needed to keep yourself sane or keep you safe from breaking down. We don’t just need a break from other people, our jobs but we need a break from ourselves also once in a while. We need a break from our racing hearts, our uncontrollable nervous state, the memories, the worries, etc. etc. etc.
You don’t even have to do much. Take a 5 minutes break and just breathe. Practice meditating. Read something that is absolutely not related to your studies, politics and news. Stare at a wall, take a walk or go to a place of greenery like your backyard or a garden. Play with a kid, a dog or your cat. Just something that takes your mind off of thoughts and your heart off of feelings. Most importantly, avoid any kind of screen time. Look at it as a reset button.
Like it is said that your happiness is your responsibility, so is your sanity.
