This week on the podcast I was joined by clinical and corporate psychologist Dr Jodie Lowinger. We discussed a big topic, mental health and various tools for helping it. Mental health issues are incredibly wide spread in our society and I was shocked to learn how widespread it is amongst young people. The reality is we are all exposed to a huge amount of information and stimuli that can have a negative effect on all our mental health, whether diagnosed with a specific condition or not. Jodie shared some great take-aways in this episode to support mental health, including the importance of sleep and nutrition. In addition to this I’ve put together a list of some very simple things you can start incorporating each day to further cultivate happiness.
These are just some simple suggestions to support you to living a happier life. To dive deeper into the components of happiness read this blog post I wrote on Martin Seligman’s PERMAH model. Mental health is a very individual experience but there is a lot of evidence-based support out there and a lot of simple steps we can all take to improve our own mental health.
