mental health

Mental health and psychology are essential in life extension and leading a healthy and happy life.

We need to talk about Mental health
Last week I saw on television that one of the USA’s best gymnasts takes a withdrawal from Tokyo Olympics 2020. Confronting her mental health is the reason she takes withdrawal. In the past couple of months, we see a lot of great sports personalities take the withdrawal regarding mental health issues. But the sad reality is that instead of supporting people are getting furious with these athletes. We need to understand that they are also a human, not some kind of superhero. I know it’s devastating when someone you love to watch had to leave because of this issue. Athletes are physically very strong than any other normal person. They do countless workouts to be in shape and maintain their physical strength to compete.

Three Yoga Philosophies to Adopt for Better Mental Health. Top Story - August 2021.
After I got dumped, I turned to yoga. What started as a life raft of “something to do” quickly turned my entire life around. But it wasn’t the fancy poses or the endorphin highs of my yoga asana practice that saved me. It was the philosophies, the beating heart of the yoga practice, that helped me heal. Though the ripple effects of my yoga practice are still growing - these are three lessons from yoga philosophy that have drastically changed my life for the better.

Involuntary
She hadn’t learned to swim. Childhood was more focused on fingers crossed that her lunch-lady mom hadn’t brought home the rubbery meatloaf she’d had already “eaten” that day. She never had a bike; she never got to see her favorite boyband in concert, the latter of which she regards as a significant cruelty. Days were spent in survival mode- training her brain that moments of quiet are suspect, that anything resembling tranquility only means that malevolence is brewing. She developed a neck-tick to compliment her leg twitch. Her body thrashed to prevent her from screaming.

Imagination Creates Reality
Getting some time alone isn't easy, with five children. Yet I can always find a way to create an alternate reality. Not a physical one, but one where there is nothing bad, there is no hatred, no pain, no sadness. There is only freedom, creativity and a place to just "get away". Always I have music playing because no matter what bad, or sad mood I am in, music can always bring me back, it can also take me away. Music is life, and life has ups and downs, but music is the key to your soul. Always have music in your life, it will carry you, when you feel as though you cannot go on...

What sort of forlorn right?
Loneliness is a battle and it is hard to survive. At a time when we are depressed, it is as if we are swimming in despair every day. It makes us wonder questions and the communication around us. Not all depression seems the same, though. Overcoming this pain requires that we face them courageously and name them. After that, we can take action to bring our lives back to the target of happiness.

Bridge: a Bridge to Rich Retirement
What a great subject this challenge is! Full disclosure: I am a co-founder of Seniors Junction (www.seniorsjunction.com), a startup that advocates, researches, and delivers serious or purposeful leisure activities to prevent seniors isolation and to help those of us who are seniors to live richer, more rewarding, autonomous lives of purpose and social connectedness. As a retired widower, I am (or was) at high risk for social isolation and the consequences of it, known to be more dangerous to health than obesity or smoking. Add grief to the mix and look out! I’m a good example--after my wife died I had chronically high blood sugar and three major heart attacks, the third one almost fatal.

Mental illness And Our Behavior
One of our problems is that we are very sensitive about our physical ailments and consult a doctor as soon as the symptoms of any ailment appear or when there is a slight ailment, but often become our own doctor. Start using On the other hand, our attitude towards mental illness is quite the opposite. We also shy away from acknowledging the fact that many or some of our behaviors are inappropriate, harmful and irrational as a result of a mental illness or psychological problem within us. Intense and unspoken anger, undue sensitivity, emotionality, depression and countless other problems like these become part of our personality and on the one hand spoil our impression in the society and on the other hand they cause our mental condition and abilities. But there are also very negative effects. Not only that. These conditions can also seriously affect our physical abilities if they continue unabated. But we stuff up our devastation and watch the spectacle, but avoid going to psychologists saying it would be a confession of being mentally ill, which is nothing short of abusive to us. If someone draws our attention to these ailments and advises us to consult a psychiatrist, we consider it our greatest disrespect and consider the counselor as our enemy. Another extreme and dangerous trend in this regard is that superstitious people resort to fake legs and agents, believing that many psychological problems are due to the effect of witchcraft, ascension and shadow of evil. As a result, these people lose their money and if they are women, sometimes they lose their dignity.
