Why Mental Health Is So Important, Especially with These Lockdowns?

Although the number of people in the United States who suffer from mental illness is now at an all-time low, the stigma surrounding mental health issues remains strong. Mental health professionals know that many people suffering from mental illness are suffering in silence and that stigma is one of the main reasons.

That’s because you’re often left to fend for yourself, often without any resources or assistance to turn to. That’s why it’s so important to open up to others so they can help assist you.… Continue

Staying Positive amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

by Justin George

The world is still in shock with the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused. Malls, schools, closed, no gathering, no parties, and what’s worse is we are all asked to keep a safe distance from each other. With this current situation that we are facing, it can be hard to look forward and think with optimism as we are unsure of the outcome.

Instead of constantly worrying, try focusing more on positivity in order to have more energy to charge on and face the situation. Try to reshape perspective and see things on the brighter side. Here are tips you can try applying to stay positive:

The positivity starts with a calm, clear mind, relaxed body, and heart. This won’t only allow you to start fresh, but this is also beneficial to your overall health and well-being.

Limit your Intake

Intake doesn’t mean food. Intake refers to the news, articles, forecasts that you watch in a day. These are all filled with what is happening, which would lead you to think about it more and more. Try to limit it to one source only and just a lot a small amount of your time browsing or watching. Then, try watching and reading positive content and funny videos online to get your mind off of it.
