Mental Health Exercises During Lockdown
by Souporno Ghosh StudentHaving a routine which includes some mental health exercises is vital
for the family members. Here are some simple way for mental health
practices which can be done with the family:
Engaging flourishing protocol:
Do some fun activity together like drama, decorating etc. While our
brains are released dopamine to make us repeat activities that are
essential to our survival and brain can also emit dopamine signals
during fun activities.
Talk to Family:
In this lockdown period some of us are living with their families, many
of us are not. To stay mentally healthy talk to your family so pick up
your phone and talk to your parents. At this time sharing your feeling
will definitely make you feel much lighter. Connecting family, friend
and sharing them in your thoughts, feeling and gossip can reduce the
stress and make you mentally strong.
Schedule a regular routine:
During this period most of us love to sleep in because we don’t have
the offices to rush to, having a set time is important for mental well
being. Eat, sleep and waking up at regular times. Unorganised time is
known to create boredom and cause spikes in depression. So try to make a
to-do list for the day.
Exercise:
Exercise, perform a vital role in our regular life. Instead of waking up
to your phone, start your day with meditation. Reference of various
research shows that exercise and meditation reduces the symptoms of
depression. Exercise and meditation of 20 minutes in every morning can
calm you considerably and enhance self awareness. But if you are not
interested in meditation, then working out at home is a good way to stay
healthy and kill time.
