What are the most important aspects of a healthy mind?
Connection is surely one of the most popular. Connecting with friends and family can benefit our mental well-being, and so is having a larger network of colleagues, friends and acquaintances, which can change as time passes.

We could see ourselves as heroes or as the victim or villain, and how you do it will have a direct impact on our mental well-being. A person who has been through a major life trauma could have difficulty in understanding their life story which leaves them feeling disorganized. A healthy mental state is having a solid sense of your personal values, a keen being aware of our strengths, abilities and capabilities, as well as personal stories of lessons learned from failures, perseverance as well as appreciation and success.
Creativity is a joy, playful aspect of our psychological well-being. When we were children, we naturally have a creative mind and have fun. As we age our enthusiasm for play and creativity is often snubbed or discarded which can lead to extreme frustration, which can result in a reduction of the brain’s capacity to function as as it can. The pursuit of creativity has been proven to have a positive therapeutic effect.
