7 DAILY HABITS TO MAINTAIN YOUR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH DURING DIFFICULT TIMES by Sara Salih
- Ever been so stressed that your body literally couldn’t hold you up anymore? - I have. - In fact, the world seemed like it was spinning every time I turned over in my sleep!
We often don’t appreciate, or perhaps even forget, the close connection between our mind and our body. We are beautifully designed by Allah swt to have souls intertwined with our mind and heart, all held in a physical form that is expected to run seamlessly. But, if one aspect falls the others soon follow suit. In recent times, we have been met with unprecedented restrictions and a new way of living we couldn’t have foreseen. We’ve collectively been more aware of our mental health due to the impact it has had. I choose to see how blessed we’ve become because awareness is the doorway to maintaining good mental and emotional health. Given what we know about our multifaceted selves, it’s only right that we take a wholesome approach. And I love to categorize, so we can delve into 7 key areas of our life with simple daily habits that can keep us steady and healthy. The best part is you can design your ‘dailies’ according to what suits you best. Personalize it and make it specific for your mental health.
