Seize the Light Foundation

🎯 Mental Wellbeing 🎯 By 2030, the mental health crisis is projected to reach alarming levels, driven by a combination of social, economic, and environmental factors. Increased urbanisation, digital overload, economic instability, and the lingering effects of global pandemics contribute to a heightened prevalence of anxiety, stress, depression, and other mental health disorders. Community support networks and a stronger emphasis on mental health education will be crucial in addressing this crisis. Khanyi Tshabalala

Dr. Spirit highlights that many of us struggle with mental health issues, often hiding them behind our personalities. Here's why: 👉 50% of all mental illnesses manifest before the age of 14. 👉 75% of all mental illnesses develop before the age of 24. 👉 On average, individuals seek professional help 11 years after experiencing symptoms. This underscores the notion that the body keeps the score and emphasizes the importance of regular self-reflection and self-care practices.

According to Dr Spirit so many of us are unwell and may be presenting symptoms related to poor mental health but masking it as part of our personalities. Here’s why: 👉 50% of all mental illnesses develop before the age of 14. 👉 75% of all mental illnesses develop before the age of 24. 👉 Individuals only seek professional assistance 11 years after developing symptoms related to mental health. This confirm that the body truly does keep the score and affirms the need for individuals to engage in self reflection and self care practices, regularly. ♻️ If you found this insightful. #MentalHealthAwareness

Journaling is a powerful tool for mental health because it allows you to express and process your emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a private and non-judgmental space. By writing regularly, you can gain insight into your feelings, identify patterns in your behaviour, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. This practice can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by providing a healthy outlet for negative emotions. Additionally, journaling can enhance your problem-solving skills, boost your mood, and improve your overall emotional well-being. It's a simple yet effective way to take control of your mental health and foster a positive mindset. ♻️ Sharing is caring
