Financial and mental health are two concepts that can have a significant influence on each other. Poor financial health such as debt, unemployment and financial insecurity can lead to poor mental health in the form of feelings of anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. The opposite is true as well. Financial stability can boost one ’ s confidence and self-worth as well as reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
SPIRITUAL HEALTH:
Spiritual health includes a person ’ s connection to something larger than themselves. Good spiritual health helps to provide a sense of perspective and resilience in the face of life’ s challenges. Although spiritual health and mental health are separate concepts, they can influence each other.
Meditation, mindfulness as well as prayer can help improve both your spiritual and mental health by reducing stressful feelings, inducing feelings of calmness and relaxation and increasing one ’ s sense of purpose. Nurturing both can have positive effects on your overall well-being.
