Your answer suggests that you generally stay in good physical health, which is fantastic! Your physical health can have a big impact on your mental health, so you're on the right track to stay both physically and mentally healthy.

Your answer suggests that you are generally healthy, but might not always feel 100 percent. Perhaps you've been ill or are experiencing an ongoing health problem. Or, like many of us, you might struggle to find time to look after your physical health regularly.
We all go through times where we don't feel our best. But, did you know that your physical health can have a big impact on your mental health? Your diet, physical activity and sleep patterns can all have an effect on how your brain functions and your emotions. Eating a balanced diet, limiting your intake of alcohol and other drugs, as well as getting about 7-8 hours of sleep every day can help you to feel energetic, alert and happy. Regular exercise is particularly important, as it's been shown to boost your mood and reduce depression.
Sometimes life becomes so busy, there just doesn't seem to be time to look after yourself. Or, sometimes it's hard to get motivated. If that sounds like you, have you considered options to help you incorporate changes into your life, like, potentially exercising with a friend, involving your whole family in a new eating plan or joining a local health group or club. Involving others often makes it easier to stick with your new routine and stay healthy - physically and mentally.
If you experience health concerns, there are lots of people who can help. You might want to talk to your doctor or another health professional about treatment options and how you can work together to look after both your physical and mental health. And, having regular routine check-ups can help to prevent more serious health problems. Directories such as Info Exchange (click here) can help you to find services in your local area to get you started.

Have you ever thought about how you feel when you experience success and disappointment? Research shows that people who attribute their successes to their own personal strengths, but learn from challenges without taking them personally, tend to be happier and have more confidence. Sometimes it can be hard to break a habit of thinking negatively - about ourselves, others and the world. If you ever feel like this, visit a counsellor or your GP, who can refer you to other mental health professionals, who can help you to ‘re-train' your thinking patterns so that they are more balanced. It can also help to surround yourself with other positive people. You could consider joining a networking group or finding a mentor, who can provide advice, support and a different perspective on things.
