How to Stay Mentally Healthy



People with mental illness are not the only ones who should devote time and effort to nurturing their mental health. Reduce your risk of psychiatric problems by learning to stay mentally healthy. Practicing good mental health habits does not just help you reduce the risk of developing mental illness, it can also help you to be as healthy as possible and experience optimal wellness.

Step 1

Communicate your feelings when something is bothering you. It is emotionally draining to keep feelings bottled up inside.
    

Step 2

Spend time on creative, positive activities. Do things that you enjoy and build your sense of confidence. Spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself.

Step 3

Build resilience by letting yourself experience emotion and dealing with your problems head-on, but step back and take time to rest when you need to re-energize, recommends HelpGuide.org.

Step 4

Exercise regularly. Engaging in physical activity can result in reduced depression and anxiety, positive mood and increased self-esteem, according to an article by Dr. Daniel M. Landers published on the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition website.

Step 5

Get enough sleep. Sleep problems can increase the risk of developing a mental disorder, states Harvard Medical School.

Step 6

Follow a nutritious diet. Essential vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in those with mental illness, according to a 2008 review published by Shaheen E. Lakhan and Karen F. Vieira in the "Nutrition Journal." The review stated that daily supplements often improve symptoms of mental illness.

Step 7

Avoid substance abuse. Alcohol and drug abuse can cause mental health problems, according to HelpGuide.org.
