Realize How to Improve your Emotional Mental Health如何保持心理健康
1保持心理健康的方法
Mental health can be seen as a continuum， where an individual’s mental health may have many different possible values。 Mental wellness is generally viewed as a positive attribute， such that a person can reach enhanced levels of mental health， even if they do not have any diagnosable mental health condition。
Being mentally and emotionally healthy does not exclude the experiences of life which we cannot control。 As humans we are going to face emotions and events that are a part of life。 According to Smith and Segal， “People who are emotionally and mentally healthy have the tools for coping with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook in which also remain focused， flexible， and creative in bad times as well as good”。
People who are emotionally and mentally healthy have the tools for coping with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook。 They remain focused， flexible， and creative in bad times as well as good。 In order to improve your emotional mental health the root of the issue has to be resolved。 “Prevention emphasizes the avoidance of risk factors； promotion aims to enhance an individual’s ability to achieve a positive sense of self－esteem， mastery， well－being， and social inclusion”。 It is very important to improve your emotional mental health by surrounding yourself with positive relationships。 We as humans， feed off companionships and interaction with other people。 Another way to improve your emotional mental health is participating in activities that can allow you to relax and take time for yourself。 Yoga is a great example of its meditating aspect which calms your entire body and nerves。 According to a study on well－being Richards， Campania and Muse－Burke found， “mindfulness is considered to be a purposeful state， it may be that those who practice it believe in its importance and value being mindful， so that valuing of self－care activities may influence the intentional component of mindfulness”

我们必须看到，心理疾病是很普遍的，只不过存在着程度区别而已。而且现代文明的发展使人类愈发脱离其自然属性，污染、生活快节奏、紧张、信息量空前巨大、社会关系复杂、作息方式变化、消费取向差异、在公平的理念下不公平的事实拉大、溺爱等，都使心理疾病逐渐增多并恶化。心理疾病种类很多，表现各异，而且有可能出现更多的以前都没有注意到，或已经合理化（不认为是心理疾病）。随着时代的变化，新发现的心理疾病也不少。
