Happy World Mental Health day.
OUR HEALTH IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT WEALTH.

Many of us get confused with what mental health is.

According to Collins Dictionary, mental health is defined as: "The state of your mind and the way you think and feel.”

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

10 GREAT QUOTES EXPLAINING HOW TO BE MENTALLY HEALTHY

1. "Mental health
 is not a destination, but a process. It’s about HOW you drive, not where you’re going." – Noam Shpancer

2. "It's important to point out that mental health is more about WELLNESS rather than sickness." – Matt Purcell

3. "Your mental health is a priority. Your happiness is an essential. Your self-care is a necessity."

4. "You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or frustrated. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person; it makes you human." – Lori Deschene

5. "You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." – Louise Hay

6. "What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation." – Glenn Close

7. "Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental states." – Carol Welch

8. "If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk." – Hippocrates

9. "The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness." – Sakyong Mipham

10. "Exercise is really for the brain, not the body. It affects mood, vitality, alertness, and feelings of well-being." – John Ratey

Bonus 1

"Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Put them together and you’ve got a kingdom." – Jack LaLanne

Bonus 2

"Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t." – Rikki Rogers

Bonus 3

"Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" – Mary Anne Radmacher

Keep shining and keep smiling

Have a super powerful day!
