Time for your mental health

In a world characterised by performance and social pressure, many people feel exhausted and drained. The permanent state of stress leads to a strain that is referred to as "mental load".

LIVING MENTAL HEALTH EVERY DAY

Every year, Mental Health Day (this year on 10 October 2024) reminds us to take a break for ourselves. However, we should not limit mental health to one day a year, but prioritise it throughout the year.

We should ask ourselves what we can do specifically for our mental health and how we can establish routines for this in our everyday lives. Taking time every day to consciously switch off should become a habit, just like brushing your teeth. There are already numerous tips on how to give yourself more mindfulness.

THE BEST MEDICINE - OUTDOOR EXERCISE

Exercise is considered to be the greatest panacea. Exercise improves the blood supply to the brain. It receives more oxygen and more new nerve cells are formed in certain regions of the brain. In addition, various messenger substances are increasingly released, for example endorphins, the so-called happiness hormones. Numerous studies show that outdoor exercise is particularly beneficial for health, reduces stress and allows the body and mind to regenerate. It doesn't always have to be a mountain or a large lake. A small park or your own garden is enough.
