Ten habits that can improve mental health, according to psychology

The importance of mental health ....

The quality of your mental health affects pretty much every aspect of your life, including how you behave, feel, and think. The quality of your mental health determines how well you cope with stress, overcome adversity, and achieve your goals. When you’re energetic and positive, these things come easily; when you’re downtrodden and negative, everything seems much more difficult.

What does it mean to have good mental health? Well, contrary to popular belief, it does not mean feeling happy all (or even most of) the time. Of course, happiness is wonderful, and we should all feel happy now and again – it’s just not the cause or effect of good mental health. Instead, good mental health means feeling and thinking in a positive manner more often than not.
People with a good state of mental health often report the following:

• Relatively high self-esteem and self-confidence
  
  
• Feelings of compassion and love for others
  
  
• Good balance between work and home life
  
  
• Adaptability to change
  
  
• Deriving a sense of purpose from something (work-related or otherwise.)
  
  
• Enjoying one or more hobbies on a regular basis
  
  
• Ability to bounce back from stress

Environmental stress: how it affects your health -

There are many sources of stress in life, some overt, some less obvious. One type of stress that doesn’t get a lot of attention but has a big effect on our health is the stress associated with our environment. Some environments are very low stress – like getting out in nature. Other environments, like a loud, noisy industrial factory, wear on us much differently. If you’re trying to live a healthy life, you need to consider all the inputs, including how your environment affects you. Here, we’ll take a look at environmental stress and its effects.

What Is Environmental Stress?

Environmental stress refers to how people or animals respond to physical, chemical and biological features of their environment. These stressors may include exposure to natural disasters, electromagnetic radiation, pollution, extreme weather events, or noise. They can be pathogens that invade the body, causing a stress response, or features of your workplace like an uncomfortable chair. Whether one-time or long-term, environmental stressors cause strain on the body and mind. The response of the body ranges from a short-term fight-or-flight response to long-term changes to your health.

Hans Selye first coined the term stress in 1950 as “the non-specific response of the body to any demand.” Since then, scientists have learned much more about stress. For animals – which we are – stressors may include predators, the availability of food, illness, or changes in the living environment. Humans face those stressors but also perceived threats, relationship issues, financial and work concerns, and more. Environmental stress psychology focuses on how people’s mental wellness responds to physical, biological, and chemical stressors…
