Mental Health: Understanding And Managing It

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 1 in 13 individuals globally experience anxiety

The signs of anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health conditions. Anxiety makes breathing difficult, disrupts sleep, and makes a person agitated. Depending on the type of anxiety illness, the symptoms may change.

• Inability to focus

• Sleep issues or disrupted sleep

• Experiencing tingling, numbness, or sweaty hands or feet.

• Develop an increased propensity for shortness of breath, hyperventilation, motion sickness, etc.

• Loss of appetite or increased appetite

Yoga for Anxiety Relief

The practises or techniques that make up yoga are beneficial to your general health. For the body, there are asanas, for the breath, pranayama, and for the mind, meditation. Any stress-related condition can be treated using these strategies. Combining all of these techniques can give you more control over your body, mind, and spirit.

Practise affirmations to increase positivity

We can change our lives if we embrace positive affirmations and carry out our commitments after making them. Any change requires you to act in a different way. Sometimes all you need to start going is a gentle prod in the correct direction. Your ideas, behaviours, and outlook on life may be significantly changed by creating positive affirmations, setting good intentions, and taking effective action.

De-clutter your living area

Remove unwanted contacts, content, and pictures from your phone. Do you feel lighter when you do that? Apply the same methodical science of de-cluttering to your life. Our goals are hampered by the disorganised minefield that is our thinking. We may organise our thoughts and get the focus and clarity needed to discover pleasure through yogic practises like meditation.

Direct your Energy

Your intentions can go any way. Depending on the goal of your activities, you go in a particular direction. We need to understand that every resolve has a goal at its core. Energy is insensitive to what is right or wrong, good or harmful. Your energy will direct you to whatever objective you select. The source of choice is intention, which is a choice you ostensibly make regarding your want or objective.

Practise Self- talk and yoga techniques

Self-talk is a powerful spiritual tool that may foster optimism and boost self-esteem. If you know how to talk to yourself favourably and encouragingly, especially if you're in a relationship, you might be able to extend the same approach towards yourself and others. When you start talking to yourself as a listener and an observer instead of as a judge, this practise of self-talk is known as Aatma Mantan. Instead of changing how you favourably respond to circumstances, this will change how you react to them. As a consequence, rather than being negatively affected by the circumstance, you will be more aware of it and better equipped to make solution-focused attempts to remedy the issue.
