Mental fitness implies a state of psychological well-being. It
denotes having a positive sense of how we feel, think, and act which improves
one’s ability to enjoy life. It contributes to one’s inner ability to be
self-determined. It is a proactive, positive term and forsakes negative
thoughts that may come to mind.
An emotionally fit and stable person always feels vibrant, truly
alive and can easily manage emotionally difficult situations. To be emotionally
strong, one has to be mentally fit too. A mentally fit person is always in a
good mood and can easily cope up with situations of distress and depression
resulting in regular training contributing to a good physical fitness standard.
Many emotional factors have a significant effect on our mental fitness levels
like depression, aggression, negative thinking, frustration, fear, etc.
The way we physically fall sick, we can also fall sick mentally.
Mental illness is the instability of one’s health, which includes changes in
emotion, thinking, and behaviour. Mental illness can be caused due to stress or
a reaction to a certain incident. It could also arise due to genetic factors,
biochemical imbalances, child abuse or trauma, social disadvantage, poor
physical health conditions, etc. Mental illness is curable. One can seek help
from the experts in this particular area or can overcome this illness by
positive thinking and changing their lifestyle.
So many people don’t consider their mental health as important as
physical health, it's high time to care about mental health.
We, at The Mann School, believe in training our students to lead a
successful and comfortable life physically and mentally. We offer regular
fitness exercises like physical training, yoga, and swimming as a great
medicine for curing mental health. Besides this, it is imperative to have a
good diet and enough sleep. Hence, we offer a balanced diet to our students and
sufficient time to sleep. Counsellors also help students to overcome their
fears by discussing the problems and motivating them.
