Read the article carefully.
Your mental health is in good shape if you know the following:
- You understand that the fluctuations in your mental health are natural. A good mental health does not mean that you’ll always feel pleasant, or that sadness or mental health issues such as anxiety and depression won’t surface. It simply means that you, over the course of time, become resilient and know that these negative emotions are just waves that will pass to make way for good times. It is also characterized by the awareness that negative emotions are a part and parcel of life. In the end, it’s really about overcoming them instead of letting them become a pattern. Not to mention, it also involves not resisting help from loved ones or a professional counsellor if need be because we all need people we love to get us through the tough times.
- You feel good. If you have good mental health, you tend to feel good and satisfied overall. You will experience the emotions of happiness, love, joy, and compassion while preferring to avoid being sucked into negative emotions or patterns.
- There’s a sense of belonging. You are also likely to feel like you belong to a community and are contributing to society when your mental health is in good shape.
- You cope up with your circumstances well.
- You do say ‘no’ to people. Mentally strong people know when to say ‘no’. If you’re mentally strong, you know where your emotional responsibility ends and another person’s begins, and vice versa.
- You have healthy relationships. If your mental health is in good shape, you’re more likely to treat others fairly which means you love and respect those who are worthy of it and don’t waste your resources (time, money, energy) on toxic people or tolerate their disturbing behavior.
- You are not trying to please everyone.
