  1. MENTAL TOUGHNESS: HOW RESILIENCE CAN HELP YOU STAY WELL, IN MIND AND BODY

  2. Stress, tension, and anxiety are a problem for many people, which can be both reassuring and concerning – if you sometimes find it hard to cope, you’re not alone. A recent survey by mental health charity Mind found that around 40% of GP appointments are for concerns about mental health problems. The links between mental and physical health are well known, and it’s no secret that stress and anxiety can form part of a complicated feedback loop of physical and emotional causes and symptoms. Mental illness has historically been a taboo subject, but campaigns promoting openness and acceptance of mental health problems have helped to reduce the stigma that used to accompany and exacerbate times of anxiety and stress. An open, honest approach to mental health means that people can get the help they need, and that new types of management for problems can be found. MENTAL TOUGHNESS People who’ve struggled with any form of mental illness may have heard some form of well-meaning – or not so well-meaning – advice to ‘toughen up’. This kind of attitude is now, thankfully, considered outmoded and unhelpful; episodes of anxiety or depression are not a sign of weakness. It’s also clear, however, that some people are more resilient to certain stressors than others, and this has been a subject of interest among mental health practitioners and researchers – adversity often cannot be avoided, but the way people adapt and respond to that adversity can mean the difference between coping well or becoming seriously unwell. ‘Mental toughness’ is a phrase that’s been around in the world of sports psychology for many years now and which describes the kind of outlook required to cope with intense periods of high physical and mental demands. Elite athletes are expected to either innately know or be able to learn how to perform well, even best, under the most stressful and high-pressure conditions. But how can this help the rest of us? Can mental toughness and emotional resilience be learned? https://myacare.com/en/mya-blog/mental-toughness-how-resilience-can-help-you-stay-well-in-mind-and-body Article Source :
