We often talk about the importance of physical fitness. We understand that it is an important part of our overall well-being, and there are many ways to support it, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going for a daily walk, or stretching while watching television. Mental fitness follows the same concept but focuses on our mental and emotional well-being. It is the practice of exercising our mind as we would a muscle. Mental fitness involves training our thoughts and responses to promote resilience, reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and increase tolerance to stress.
