What Inspired Me to Write ‘In My Head”
Working in the field of mental health was something that was never on my radar. Throughout my adulthood, people have often perceived me as someone with fewer emotions, someone slightly detached from the depths of stress, anxiety, and sadness. While I’ve found this perception arguable, I never made a point to argue for being seen as an emotional person. In reality, I have always found it difficult to grasp the intense pressures that people often experience. I never lost sleep over anything or became so depressed that I couldn’t laugh or go about my day normally.
I came to the conclusion after much introspection that I had developed a special gamification system for myself. I’ve taken a playful approach to life, which has enabled me to properly manage my stress and anxiety.
The COVID-19 pandemic was the true tipping point. I saw firsthand the terrible toll that extraordinary problems took on the mental health of people. Everybody was struggling, circumstances were getting out of control, and life was changing drastically. Though it was still difficult for me to put myself in their situation, I started to realise what was going on. I saw more clearly the weaknesses of the human psyche, and things that I had long repressed came to the surface.
I realised right then that something needed to be done. In light of my midlife crisis and my desire to make a significant contribution, I made the decision to learn more about the intricacies of mental health. It was a realisation that completely changed my viewpoint. I came to see that my stable mental state was the outcome of my ongoing efforts to maintain my mental well-being. My innate capacity to weigh a decision’s potential effects on my well being informed every move I took.
This struck me as astonishing. I realised that everyone participates in comparable behaviors, whether they are aware of it or not. Every decision we make, from what we eat to who we meet, is slightly influenced by our mental health. However, because we don’t have the appropriate vocabulary.
Mental well-being plays a crucial role for individual development Ignoring mental health can lead to serious setbacks, impeded advancement, and wasted potential. I started Solh Wellness out of this realisation and a determination to change things. The idea was to provide a location where anybody could get the resources and know-how required to take control of their mental health. a location where people are given the tools and resources they need to thrive.
Writing ‘In My Head’ is my way of sharing this vision. This book sheds light on the power of our minds and the immense potential within. Understanding and taking care of our mental health can help us unleash a force that will help us live happier, more fulfilled lives. It is my wish that this book will provide you with the understanding and inspiration you need to start your own path of personal development. Together, let’s arm ourselves with the wisdom and insight necessary to meet life’s obstacles head-on and emerge stronger.
