We ask this question to so many people regularly. When was the last time you asked this yourself?
Let’s get real for a minute. Adult life is overwhelming. There is always something somewhere that needs to be accomplished. We juggle a million things every day at home and work, striving to always have it together, know all the answers, and be productive. In this quest to be the best, we often let our health take a toll. You may go to the doctor to get regular body checkups, but what about your mind?
Mental health goes hand in hand with what you do and how you do it. A healthy mind is key to leading a happy, productive, and meaningful life. Oftentimes, we become so busy chasing perfection that we tend to overlook our emotions and how we are doing, mentally. That’s where mental health check-ins can help.
Checking in with oneself is extremely important, as it allows us to evaluate our mental state and what we may or may not need to have a healthy headspace. By being conscious of your feelings and emotions through these check-ins, you can, to some extent, shield yourself from adverse mental health issues.
The best part is, you can do these check-ins yourself in just a few minutes. Go ahead and ask yourself these questions and answer honestly!
But before you start, try this easy relaxation exercise which will make you feel calm and get you in the mood to introspect.
