Have You Forgotten How to Enjoy Life?

Not having optimal mental health well-being could be worsened by not enjoying life. If your life has turned into something that you dread, that’s a signal that you’ve forgotten what’s important.

You need to look forward to your life. You need to have fun and to laugh. If you think about it, try to recall when you last laughed like a child. Kids laugh without restraint and they live each day to the fullest.

Maybe you get up and you immediately jump into whatever weighs on you. It might be seeing what’s new in your email that you have to deal with or handling bills or other stressors.

Instead of starting the day off with peace and fun, you hit yourself with whatever steals your peace and laughter. Remember how when you were a kid you’d run just to run? Or you’d meet up with your friends spontaneously and stay out playing until night fell?

As an adult, you probably can’t recall the last time you did something that wasn’t already on your schedule. At some point in your life, fun took a backseat and life became something to endure rather than to enjoy.

That happens when you pick up burdens and carry them around - when you get laden down with responsibilities. But that doesn’t mean that life has to become a chore or that you can’t enjoy your days.

Part of the issue can be because something is weighing you down. It might be a struggle with your job or finances or relationships. But you need to get to the root of whatever is causing you to not enjoy your life.

You don’t have to live your days just getting through them. You can have the moments when you laugh with all the freedom and merriment of a child. You can decide to go out for spontaneous fun.

Just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean that you should forget what fun feels like. You don’t have to live every single day trying to juggle a hundred and one things to do. You don’t have to put up with emotions that leave you feeling sad and anxious.

You don’t have to strive to hold everything together. You can free yourself and live your life with joy. Even on the days that are full of responsibilities that you can’t put off, you can still have fun.

Discover what it is that’s holding you back. Dig deep and uproot the erroneous beliefs you might have or the burdens that grew because of a lack of emotional self-care. Remember again how to enjoy life in its simplest terms. Find healing if you need to. Embrace all the good you were meant to have.

Healthcare Systems Need a Revamp for Emotional Wellness

In order to thrive, you need to have emotional wellness in addition to physical health. But throughout decades of healthcare, the focus has been on healing the physical body, and not your mind.

While doctors and others in the healthcare field might be sympathetic toward any emotional issues, they’re often not prepared to help. Some simply don’t understand the connection between emotional health and your physical health, so they’re often unable to give a person relief from any emotional upheaval.

Your emotional wellness may not be a priority. In a fast-paced world, the traditional healthcare system often has a time limit on how long they can spend with a patient. In order to be profitable, the more patients who are seen in the healthcare system, the better.

But unfortunately, that means many fall through the cracks and their emotional needs are never dealt with. Maybe that sounds like something you’ve experienced. Instead of a lasting treatment option to handle things, you got a prescription to mask the pain.

While medication can sometimes be helpful, it’s slapping a bandage on emotional wounds that need to be cleansed out in order to let the person become whole. You can’t rely on a prescription to find the healing that you need.

Just because a doctor or health facility isn’t equipped to help doesn’t mean that there’s nothing that you can do. With a DIY approach, you can heal without the healthcare system that too often fails to have the answers that you need.

You already know the foundation for emotional wellness is to make sure that your physical needs are taken care of. This means eat right, get enough sleep, exercise and make sure that you limit the things that cause you stress and learn how to cope with things in healthy ways.

Identify where your emotions are at, then look for the root cause. You might need emotional healing because you never dealt with grief over something. Sometimes, you can feel sad and not realize why until you dig a little deeper and find that connection.

But once you figure that out, you can heal from it. Accept who you are without blaming or shaming yourself. You have to practice speaking kindly to yourself. Don’t allow negativity to be how you talk to yourself.

For emotional wellness, be sure to establish boundaries with how you’re treated by friends, family and coworkers. It should be kind and loving as well as positive. Know what your triggers are and root out any unhealthy habits you may have developed due to those triggers.

For example, if you turn to food when your emotions are in turmoil, deal with the emotions and you’ll be able to stop comfort eating. Turn the negative into a positive. Look for the glass half full instead of what’s missing or what’s wrong. Practice gratitude and find something to be thankful for every day.
