Your Mental Health Matters

Listen Later

Our mental health is as important as our physical health. It’s part of who we are, so we should be well aware of how to keep it healthy every single day.

In this episode of More With Moreira, Desmond brings into light mental health awareness. As much as we hear it more than ever today, people still confuse the term mental health with mental illness. Remember that we all have mental health that we should be kept in check at so we don’t have to deal with mental illness. Mental health exists in every human alive, so as much as possible learn what the signs, symptoms, and treatment of mental illness, and how to care about yours and the people around you – may it be at home, in your workplace or your church group. Discover more about the basics today when you tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Share what you’re feeling to others. Don’t suffer in silence. Let go of what you’re frustrated, worried, or sad about. Knowing that someone listens can already unburden you. In addition, you become more accountable for what steps are you going to do with it.
  • Think about who or what triggered these feelings of yours. When you understand it, you could limit your exposure to the triggers and move forward. But Desmond emphasises, that sometimes, it might be a combination of different aspects of your life.
  • In the workplace, it’s difficult to express your feelings since it’s not the norm. Why not start with a conversation with your HR or your immediate supervisor? If it affects the team’s performance, they’ll have to start reaching out to their employees.
  • Like with our physical well-being, we also have to learn how to keep a healthy mental well-being.

    • BEST MOMENTS

    • “If you can raise your own awareness of your own behaviour, you will then get a decision on how to handle it.”
    • “If you feel that you aren’t having a good day or you wake up with the wrong mindset, you need to be able to take yourself out of the environment that you’re about to put yourself in and be honest with yourself.”
    • “You can’t be afraid of it because the worst is you keep bottling it up.”

        • ABOUT THE HOST

        I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
