Mental wellness is not just the absence of mental illness, but the attainment of happiness and wellbeing. To create positive change in your mental world — to enhance your mental wellbeing — you need to start by looking within — tuning into your body, your breath, your mind — getting your inside right. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. This is a journey in Holistic Self-Care — a journey in self-discovery, healing and transformation.  Holistic self-care is about taking care of yourself physically, by listening to your body, getting sufficient sleep, ample exercise, good nutrition, healthy dose of sunshine, daily meditation; intellectually, by maintaining a sense of curiosity, an appetite for learning new things, staying hungry and foolish; emotionally, by letting go of toxic emotions, cultivating positive emotions of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, appreciation, forgiveness, gratitude, generosity, contentment, and inner peace; socially, by making time for family and friends, giving support to and accepting support from others, contributing to the community, volunteering for a cause you believe in; and spiritually, by living authentically – acting from your Deepest Truth, connecting to your Highest Self – knowing that we’re all connected – finding purpose, meaning, fulfilment. Getting your inside right is first and foremost about knowing yourself — truly and deeply; uncovering your core values and strengths — your motivations and aspirations — fining your inner voice. It’s shining a light on your inner shadows, reconciling with past hurt towards healing and wholeness. It’s developing, mastering, and harnessing your inner resources — your heart and mind – your thoughts and emotions – to serve your best self – making the mind your trusted friend. It’s creating your own inner allies – rediscovering your inner light and creative sparks. It’s taking responsibility for your own wellbeing – doing something today that your future self will thank you for. The change manifested within then radiates outwards—from the core to the shell—inside to the outside. By gaining a greater awareness of your own thoughts and emotions, your motivations and aspirations, you will naturally become more aware of others’ emotions and motivations.
