Mental health is as important as your physical health, but often we strive to put it on the back vodka. Many people begin to pay attention only to their mental well -being when they already feel broken or burned.But it’s not as it should be. The study suggests that the inclusion of simple activities and habits in your daily regime can have a significant impact on your mental well -being.A study by researchers at the University of Kertina has shown that daily actions and behavior is related to improving mental well -being. The study is published in SSM mental health. The study found that education of mental health does not always require professional intervention; In fact, simple, everyday actions can change the situation. And the best thing you don’t even need to spend a penny! These activities include regular chats with friends and spending time in nature, among other things.
For the study, the researchers interviewed more than 600 Western Australia adults. They found that the participants who chatted with others scored 10 points above the standard mental well -being than those who did it less than once a week.The study also showed that time was spending time in nature every day is associated with an increase in the five -point. Activities such as frequent catch -ups with friends, physical activity, spiritual exercise and assistance to others are also associated with improving mental well -being.
Leading author Professor Christina Palord from School of Health Curtin noted that such events give obvious evidence that inexpensive and affordable actions can play a significant role in maintaining good mental health and well -being.“These are not expensive programs and clinical interventions – these are the behavior that is already included in the lives of many people and can be easily encouraged through health care reports. Regular connection with others, even daily chat, can change the situation in how people feel. Similarly, spending time outdoors, or doing what requires thinking and concentrations, such as crossing, reading or learning a new language, gives an important mental discount, “the professor.Said Palord.
The study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic; However, despite the gloomy period, 93% of participants did not affect psychological distress.
Professor Palord noted that the study provides a great deal for long -term investment in the communications of mental health companies that go beyond awareness and expand people’s capabilities to take significant measures. “This study confirms that when people are supported and recommended to engage in mentally healthy behavior, the benefit can be felt in society. It is a matter of prevention, not just about treatment – helping people to remain mentally before reaching a crisis point,” Professor.Palord added.
