Mental health is equally important as physical health

Life is unpredictable and uncertainty is a part of our life. There is no way to escape from it and in the case of health, it's also applicable. It doesn't matter how much effort we make, somehow sometimes we become sick. Indeed we can't escape from sickness every time but to live a better and happier life we should try our best to be healthy.

In this present world, most of us are health conscious. People are going to the gym, doing regular exercise, maintaining diet food and so many things to maintain good health but in the past people weren't so conscious about health. People have become conscious about physical health and it's a very good thing and I appreciate it but unfortunately, most of us are ignoring mental health which is equally important as our physical health. If physical and mental health are ok then we can consider one a healthy person otherwise not.

In ancient/past times people were not conscious about mental health but most of them used to spend a lot of time with nature which was healthy. At that time there weren't any additive devices like computers, smartphones, etc. Excessive use of those devices is capable enough to make us stress makers mentally unstable. Updated technological devices made our life easy and comfortable but as a disadvantage, it hamper our mental health and I think we are well acknowledged about it. Although it wasn't a mental concern in the past but in the present time it's a matter of concern and we need to think seriously about it.

In the case of physical health, I think I don't need to recommend anything to anyone because people are already aware of it. As people ignore mental health, I am focusing on it. Believe it or not, in the current time, most of people are mentally sick. And various kinds of physical sickness come from those mental sicknesses because psychology acts as a driver of the human mind. The power of psychology is so huge that is capable enough to make our life happy. Maybe for that reason, doctors used to say that positive psychology can heal a patient more than 50%. In the case of percentage, I can't say anything about the percentage but it's right that our body reacts based on our thoughts.

Very few people are mentally satisfied. Many people do suicide because of it and with time the number of suicidal cases is increasing. I can't blame technology directly as the control of technology is done by us but indirectly it is not wrong if someone blames technology for it. So I think we should maintain the usage time of technology as well as technological devices for a healthy and happy life.

In case of mental sickness making a consultant with a doctor is very necessary. Unfortunately, very few people, or some rare people discuss about the matter with doctors. People hesitate to go and discuss about it with a specialist doctor because in our society people don't take it from a positive mindset and criticize those people saying mad which creates another kind of stress and societal pressure. It sounds ridiculous but that's the truth and that's the reason for not discussing the matter with a doctor. People only love to see it in movies only.I think we need to come out from that kind of mindset if we want a healthy generation in the future.

I feel I am one of the few persons who are mentally satisfied. I think some suggestions may help others to get mental satisfaction like me. They are:

Make a solo walk at least for half an hour two times in a week. And I think morning time is a good time for it but sunset time is not also bad because it creates possibilities to enjoy the sunset which can give relaxation also.

Trying to find positivity in any kind of situation is very important. Our perspective is the thing that makes an impact on our mood directly. In every incident, we can see it from both perspectives, and trying to see most of the incident from a positive perspective can give mental satisfaction.
