This is to spread  awareness about mental health and  psychology  you help us make psychology and mental  health more accessible to everyone. Here I give you four  valuable tips to help you improve your  mental health to be the best it can be.


1.  Make yourself a priority :




     Are you often  too busy or too tired to relax and do  something you actually enjoy. You may be studying or working too hard  or perhaps you don't stop and take  notice of what your body needs  have you had a calm moment to simply  breathe and wind down.  Did you eat too little today,  did you get  enough water.  You may not care about yourself enough  to get a good eight glasses a day  but we hear it's like to go we care  about you.  Neglecting self-care is detrimental to  our mental health.  Research has shown that what we eat  affects not only our mood  but how we think as well and if you  don't eat enough  odds are you aren't going to feel great  exercise and enough sleep are also vital  to our health. 


2. Create positive thoughts :




       Are you aware of your thoughts you may  say of course  i know what i'm thinking but less often.  Do we actually stop to consider what it  is we're thinking, what we're saying to ourselves and if  it's something we'd say to others  think about it are your thoughts more  often positive or negative.  According to a new 2020 study from  psychologists  at queen's university published in the  journal nature communications. The average human has around 6,200  thoughts per day in another study published in the  national science foundation  it was found that of the thousands of  thoughts each individual has per day  eighty percent were negative and  ninety-five percent  were the exact same repetitive thoughts  as the previous day. So  what you're  thinking about  is it positive is it healthy more  importantly.  Is it something you would say to a  friend who was worried too  and looking for comfort it's always best  to treat ourselves like our best friend  be there to comfort yourself with  positive thoughts and when in doubt with  a worry  try to ask yourself is this very  productive. 


3.  Say what you feel :




      Guess what there's a writer here inside  your screen  and she's writing to tell you it's late  and she's tired. But she's feeling better now and she  wanted me to let you know  she's keying you into a little  psychology secret  expressing how you feel makes you feel  better.  A brain imaging study by  psychologists at  Ucla  revealed that verbalizing our feelings  makes our sadness, anger and pain less intense when we see  a photograph  of a fearful or angry face. We have  increased activity in a region of our  brain called the amygdala. This serves as a warning of danger in  our brain  in the study researchers used functional  magnetic resonance imaging  to study subjects brain activity  researchers had  30 subjects view photos of individuals  making different emotional expressions.  Each photo were the words angry or  photos  researchers found a decreased response  in the amygdala  when the words angry and fearful were  expressed by assigning them. They did not see the reduction in the  amygdala response when using the words  harry and sally  meaning if you put your feelings into words you feel better while the amygdala was less active. When  subjects labeled a feeling  the right ventrolateral prefrontal  cortex  was more active and it makes sense why  this region of the brain has been  associated with  thinking in words about emotional  experiences.


4.  Be compassionate to others :




    A little  compassion can go  a long way wouldn't you want someone to  show you a little love and kindness  and i bet when you treat someone with  kindness or do someone a favor.  You often feel a little bit better too,  don't you  well there's research to support this.  According to research from psychologists can lead to improved mental and physical  health  as well as speed up recovery from  disease and brain imaging  has found that  providing support for others  may have unique positive effects on key  brain areas involved in stress and  reward responses.  So if research shows that a little  compassion and support can predict  decreased stress response in the brain  and improve mental health.  I'm sure they'd love to support as much  as you after all  what a better way to lift yourself up  than to lift someone else's spirits up  in the process.  So will you use these tips did you find  them helpful  are you going to drink more water. If you find it hard to manage your life  and suspect you might be suffering from  an undiagnosed mental illness.
