Mental health... is not a sign of weakness, but a source of strength.
This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "For Your Mental Health".
Hello dear readers and community members, today’s topic is about your mental health. I think it is very interesting to talk about this, especially nowadays in the hectic world we live in, with all the interactions and the bombardment of propaganda and commercials that we encounter daily through social media, via cell phones, and the comments we receive from people we interact with daily in our surroundings, in our neighborhood, at work. When we walk down the street and see the various billboards, we are subjected to a lot of pressure, and subliminally, we are intoxicated with all kinds of propaganda. This is obviously with the aim of creating an opinion matrix and trying to get us to acquire or consume certain products, whether it’s buying a vehicle like a Tesla or being induced to buy a detergent from a particular brand that features the image of a superhero. This is where our mental health comes into play, which is the topic of today. To tell you when was the last time or the most recent time I took care of my mental health, you will be surprised because it was very recently. In fact, every two or three days, I take care of it due to all these things I have mentioned. Besides, the stress of living a hectic life, having many responsibilities, and a large amount of financial debt creates levels of anxiety and stress, leading me to take care of my mental health. Recently, I took care of my mental health by leaving a WhatsApp group where people constantly bombarded others with news that wasn’t precisely positive, such as robberies or accidents in certain parts of the country. I originally wanted that WhatsApp news channel just to stay informed about important news, like when there would be power outages or service rationing that interested me, so I could take precautions like turning off the computer during electrical failures. However, the WhatsApp channel became misused, and people started sharing information about criminal gangs, robberies, and stressful situations in different parts of the city, causing me a lot of anxiety. Additionally, other WhatsApp groups, although not publishing such information, were very numerous, and notifications constantly bombarded my phone, affecting my mental health because the messages kept coming, and I felt compelled to check them immediately. So, I decided to delete and leave those WhatsApp groups for the sake of my mental health. Normally, when I am very stressed or feel very anxious, I take some time to relax. Regarding my content work, I leave the computer and watch TV or go out to the balcony of my apartment, which overlooks a beautiful mountain view, and I watch and listen to the birds. This distracts me and relaxes my mind, which is beneficial for my mental health. Or, I simply stop working on content creation for a week and dedicate that week solely to watching movies, YouTube series, and disconnecting from work to alleviate anxiety and achieve mental balance. Some people prefer to read, others dedicate themselves to traveling, some lift weights or go for a jog. I think all of this is important to maintain balance and mental health. We should all take this time to take care of ourselves and step away from stressful situations because having good mental health makes us more complete and better human beings.

Taking moments of rest and disconnecting from the news are, objectively speaking, two very good actions in favor of metal health, available to everyone and free of charge. Thanks for this contribution.
A big hug @manclar.
Well, I have already gone through many things, as I told you (and you may have realized this), I have been very intoxicated for years, and I am in therapy detoxifying myself from all those things that make me anxious. The news, WhatsApp chats, constantly having to attend to messages on Discord, etc., are part of that. That's why now I take it differently, to see if that makes me feel better.
!hug amigo.
I'm sure it will.
Hearing or seeing bad news can lower your mental health, it only takes courage to pull yourself out of such a negative group and it will help you maintain better mental stability
Yes, that's why I avoid the news and everything that has to do with politics. I only watch nature and landscape videos.
Saludos mi hermano, realmente el mundo esta tóxico, por eso siempre me desconecto en mi mundo aislado del entorno, entre gallinas gatos y plantas , y luego vuelvo, al mundo irreal el cuál nos crearon
Yes, it is better that you live isolated like this, between your chickens and your plants, believe me, I envy you, you are in paradise.
Did you know that delegating your HP to @midnight-studio not only supports amazing projects, but also rewards you with NEON Tokens every week?
Leaving social media is one of the best alternatives for preserving your mental health. During election times, leaving WhatsApp aside for a bit could be a good idea, as there are relatives who don't know how to dialogue and respect the opposite opinion.
Having moments just for ourselves really helps and is invigorating. It's great to see that you already have good options to overcome stress.
Without a doubt, social networks are intoxicating, they are poisonous, I use them mostly for entertainment and to enjoy memes, which make me very happy.
I hope you also enjoy your options to relax, we all deserve them.
True, social networks are an entertainment environment. Only some people abuse it too much.
Thank you, we really deserve it.
I left Web2 except for YouTube in 2020 ... way too much toxicity ... found that Hive was a great refuge for creativity ... but also I was able, during that time, to prioritize the music and nature time that are the temporal harbors of my peace... this is Blue Heron Lake, about 15 minutes from my home by bus ... when away from the noise of the city and the crowd I can walk and think and pray... this helps me keep my peace...
