So today article is about mental health, checking my previous articles, you will know I love talking about mental health, well you will know that HEALTH IS WEALTH, so let's always take our mental health seriously. Don't stress or over work yourself. Now this question is for all

How can a pet help my mental health?Caring for a pet can help our mental health in many ways, including:

Increasing your physical activity. Using dog as an example, because I once owned a dog, Dog owners are likely to take their pets for a walk or run every day. Or sometimes your dog just come to you and start barking until you follow she/he, following them requires running. This can be a fun way to fit exercise into your routine

Providing companionship. Pets can give you a sense of security and someone to share the day with. Caring for them can help you feel wanted and needed. This can be especially valuable for older people or those who live alone

Reducing anxiety. The companionship of a pet can help to ease your anxiety.

Boosting self-confidence. Pets can be great listeners, offer unconditional love and won’t criticise you. This can help your self-confidence, especially if you feel isolated or misunderstood.

Helping you meet new people. Dog owners often stop and chat with each other on walks. But other pets can be a way to meet people too: in pet shops, training classes or online groups, for example adding structure to your day. Feeding, exercising and caring for a pet can help you keep to a daily routine, which can help you feel more grounded and focused. It can give your day purpose and a sense of achievement.

Benefits of Good Mental Health

Just as physical fitness helps our bodies to stay strong, mental fitness helps us to achieve and sustain a state of good mental health. When we are mentally healthy, we enjoy our life and environment, and the people in it. We can be creative, learn, try new things, and take risks. We are better able to cope with difficult times in our personal and professional lives. We feel the sadness and anger that can come with the death of a loved one, a job loss or relationship problems and other difficult events, but in time, we are able to get on with and enjoy our lives once again.

Nurturing our mental health can also help us combat or prevent the mental health problems that are sometimes associated with a chronic physical illness. In some cases, it can prevent the onset or relapse of a physical or mental illness. Managing stress well, for instance, can have a positive impact on heart disease.

Chances are, you are already taking steps to sustain your mental health, as well as your physical health – you just might not realize it.

Three important ways to improve your mental fitness are to get physical, eat right, and take control of stress.
