Hi there, I hope you are well. -Nutrition plays a key role in overall well-being. Each nutrient we consume is needed for nourishment of different organs and tissues. Hence, it is necessary to include a balanced diet which comprises of fibre, protein, and good fats. -Fibre is needed for improving digestion and for keeping your gut healthy.There is a link in between your gut and brain , and hence, fibre is necessary. Include wholegrains, vegetables, fresh fruits, beans, lentils to the diet. - Protein is needed for functioning of various hormones,wear and tear of muscles, and for nourishing each cell in the body.Include beans, lentils, dairy and dairy products, lean meat, nuts, and seeds to the diet. - Omega 3 fatty acids rich foods can improve your mood and facilitate better brain functioning. Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado, olive oil are great sources of the same. - Include meditation, and yoga in your daily routine to combat stress. - Opt for a walk, and sleep well. Take care ✨

Seemachaudhary・4d

Balanced diet, rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, supports mental health. Include mood-boosting foods like omega-3s, magnesium, and zinc. Avoid excess caffeine, sugar, processed foods. Hydration and mindful eating help too.

My friends straight up don't listen to me when I'm venting or sharing my problems. They zone out, change the subject, or give shitty advice that shows they weren't even paying attention. It's pissing me off feeling dismissed like that by people who are supposed to be my girls. How do I get through to them and make them actually hear me out without invalidating how I feel?

Its better to stay with less friends then the friends who dont value your feelings, nevertheless, confrontation of how you feel can also help to either break off or bring you closer

theintrovertgirl・8d

Just go and have a straightforward conversation with them. Just vent out everything to them about how you have been feeling. If they are your true friends then they will definitely understand you.

Self care , Mental health, mental well-being...these are the topics which one sees every where. To put in a nutshell... Mental well-being or mental health would mean you are able to conduct you routine without creating negative thoughts feeling etc.. if the activity you do or the interaction you have is creating any kind of upheaval means your mental health issues disturbed. Self care comes in play here .. self care includes taking care physical , mental and emotional health * you need to do you duties perform the tasks without getting disturbed. * Take care of your physical health by eating right food, adequate water and good sleep. * Setting Boundaries, Saying NO etc plays a important role....

Psychologist_BhumikaSehra・6d

Hey there, hope you're doing well. Navigating confrontations in friendships can be tricky but you'll need to recognize signs of invalidation or even disrespect to know if the friendship is worth maintaining. Try having an open communication with your friend in case there are communication issues but if you still don't feel validated, then you need to realise that it might not be beneficial to you to stay in that relationship. You can set boundaries and let them know what behavior of theirs is unacceptable to you. Self care should be a priority even in case of friendships. You can also talk to a therapist who can help you with assertiveness and boundary setting.

Anonymous・9d

Hi, you could begin by assessing how the friendship affects you, noting signs of toxicity such as persistent negativity or manipulation. Clearly communicate your boundaries and seek support from trusted individuals. If your efforts to address the issues with your friend are not successful it may be appropriate to consider ending the friendship. Remember, choosing to distance a is decision to prioritize your mental health and surround yourself with positivity. Trust your instincts and prioritize self-care as you navigate this process.

Hi, everyone, I’m Yogita Sapra, a psychologist! I’m thrilled to be here with all of you today. My journey to becoming a psychologist started when I was young and witnessed the struggles my family faced with mental health challenges. One defining moment for me was when a close family member went through a difficult time and struggled to find the right support. I saw firsthand how much of an impact understanding and compassionate care could make. That experience ignited my passion for psychology and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own mental health journeys. Through years of study and practice, I’ve learned how powerful our minds are in shaping our overall well-being, and I’m excited to share tools and strategies that can help you lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.more
