How Exercise Can Improve Your Mental Health
Image Source: Envato How do you know if exercising improves mental health or not? While there's little debate that exercise is crucial for your overall physical health, what you might not be aware of is that exercise can also help you to reduce stress and improve your mental health as well. Some people have a clear understanding of the importance of exercise, but other people have a hard time believing that physical activity has such an important impact on the health of the mind. The human brain is responsible for about two-thirds of the activities in the body and mental activities play a major role in how well we perform. Exercise helps us to be mentally active and this can in turn help us live a longer and better life.

What to Do About Stress and Vision?
Stress is a part of our daily lives. Depression is good if it inspires us and bad if it tries to destroy us. Stress can work for you and can work against you. Depression is an unexpected event that causes you to feel threatened and lose balance. Stress is a form of real or imagined danger and your body responds quickly with a “fight or flight” response.

Bringing Gratefulness
In the morning it's easy to immediately become stressed. That happened to me this morning. One of the first recommendations that I deem one should not do upon waking up is to check their email. On this particular morning I did just that and three emails down was a bill. My mind went immediately into lack of gratitude. In that moment the cycle of anxiety started. Thoughts came up such as "How am I supposed to pay for that?" "I thought I already paid" etc.. At that moment some voice of my higher self came in however, and saved the day. It seemed to shout out that "This was not the way to start the day" and I begrudgingly had to agree. It was then that I started my morning routine. From that came the motivation to produce this article that I hope you will find and use or customize to fit your own flow. I do have to say though that flow is recommended, although it is often found in personal lessons that come in different ways depending on the day and how it works.

Top 10 journaling prompts for good mental health
Every morning I write a journal. On the days when I don’t write, I really notice it in my mental health. It doesn’t take long after not writing for my mental health to back up, like a gutter clogging with leaves, and I can’t work out what I feel anymore, or what is prompting me not to feel good about myself.

Why the Mental Health Act of 1983 has to be abandoned.
There is no substitute for round the clock assistance. If a person is so wounded that they would genuinely consider taking their own life then they need the utmost love and respect. Hospitals are holding pens that have been taken over by the cult of psychotherapy that comes at people with it’s bluster and babble. There is no substitute for sitting down at a table with one of your loved ones and having a really honest chat. All the talk of management and treatment that goes on in hospitals 🏥 is really about viewing mental problems as something to be contained. I write this as a woman in hospital. I have witnessed the most diabolical treatment of patients and as for giving the police the power to detain people with wounds then that makes our society callous, uncaring and unfeeling. The mad are not criminals and do not need handling. It is the constant nannying by staff in these places that makes the mad feel so bewildered. When you are treated like trouble to be sorted out it creates an attitude of resignment that creates low self esteem and can turn inwards to the most base narcissism and self obsession. After all my experience in those kind of places it has worn out any sparkle I might have once had out of sheer terrifying mindlessness. Organisations like this are a sad inditement of society. The NHS has put its faith in the ethos that if you just keep going with something that’s wrong sooner or later it will sort itself out. The fact that they would put their faith in any ethos at all instead of recognising their duty of care is unbearably horrifying. I think the staff clamp down on any sign of life until you are a sanitised shade of a person. They want you to do it your way because they consider the mad to be naughty little boys and girls who have misbehaved. The police intercepting the suicidal is completely wrong. Suicidal people do not need to be talked down they need action. Better access to community groups, more support with counselling and promise to improve their financial situation. If someone is still determined to die you should let them because it’s a person’s personhood that is at stake. Sending the police to talk is like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. They shouldn’t be sent out to shake someone down. It’s the wrong use of police time. The staff in hospitals have an us versus them mentality which compounds the hardened attitude of some mentally ill patients. Forcibly stopping someone from taking their own life is completely evil because it makes a desperate act unrighteous. That’s why there needs to be more love and comprehension of people’s inner states. To send out tough police officers to vulnerable people is to do an act of terror. To have them tracking down the desperate and have them defending themselves is an act of intimidation. The police do it with the best of intentions (well, most of them) but it depends how many eggs you want to break for how many omelettes you want. To bring people into hospital in cuffs is a cheap act of degradation. I hope that none of them suffer that way. It is my fondest wish that one day the police act in a kind and considerate manner. To be hauled in and subjected to the tender mercy of the wolves who work on mental health wards is a poisoned chalice.

A lesson of my broke brain
How do you decompress? At the end of the day how do you let go of all the shit and relax? How do you pay attention to the world around you but not become overwhelmed by the amount of sensory information bombarding your body? It’s constant. The input of data from talking, listening, watching, doing, breathing, and thinking and everything else we do every second of every 24 hours in a day. This brain injury of mine taught me so much about the amount of information our brains process every single moment of every day.

How Spending Time in Nature Can be Good for You
In their attempts to find the perfect work-family life balance, many people in the modern world have forgotten what it feels like to spend time in the lap of Mother Nature. Either surrounded by walls or exposed to the incessant honking of cars on the bustling roads, their lives are stressful and utterly devoid of the peace and quiet that the mind needs from time to time to contemplate, introspect, and reflect.
