Commit to well-being

Over the years, there have been many conversations on mental health concerns and awareness. But a specified day, like Mental Health Action Day, celebrated on 18 May, marks a clear, mindful shift whereby we can take an extra step and look at actions that allow for better mental health. The day also becomes a way to work with family members, teenagers, young adults and even organisations to move beyond conversations about awareness and step in to take a pledge towards mindful mental health action. While therapy may be one of the actions people may take to address their mental health, and it could be a first step for some, we need to ask ourselves the bigger question: “Which mental health action can I commit to for the next month to begin with, which helps me in my day-to-day life?” Given that people’s lives are so hectic, I often say that we should begin with as little as 15 or 30 minutes every day that you can take out to commit to your own well-being. Begin by pledging to work towards one mental health action for the time being and stick with it, so that it deepens and becomes a part of your routine.
