For me, Good mental health means being happy. Not away from stress free, pressure free and other hard things. Now here is the question: how can you be happy? Does gardening make you happy? For me, yes. Now we will explore how!
What is mental health?
Mental health is your personal emotions, psychological, social well being and physical activities. It helps to think, feel, and cope up with your working place. When these things are doing well your mental health is too good for you.
What are the causes for mental health issues?
For me, over excitement,over thinking, over expectations and lack of information. In my life how many times I get mentally depressed or stressed because of these. I tried so many things to get rid of these problems like yoga, meditation, youtube or online courses etc. But I can’t find my solution.
Do physical activities improve your mental health?
If you go online and search for what are the benefits of physical activities you can see lots of information that is also correct. But are you able to do those things? Do you have that much time and strength in your life? For me no, but physical activities are important for me. How can I manage this?
How gardening helps mental health
The things that make me free from everything is gardening. You are thinking how? First you have to be clear of free from everything means! Gardening is the thing that helps me to stop over thinking. And I can say over-thinking is the main reason for my mental health. When I enter my garden I can’t think of anything else. I was just amazed to look at them. No other thinking in my mind.
You can relate what I say, look at the space in front of you and an object. Can you think of anything? Space is the thing that helps to stop over thinking.
My gardening space is soundless and it is beautiful. When I enter I can’t hear anything. I only see them and feel the peace of the environment. Soundless environment with lots of trees is my solution to every problem.
Does gardening teach us anything?
Responsibility
Plants teach you how to be responsible in your life. If you don’t watering, puring, fertilize them in time they will die. It will make you a responsible man.
Judgment
Plants are not judgemental. They do not blame you for anything. But they want to talk with you in their way. If you are capable of understanding you can. It helps you not to be judgmental in your life. Can you relate? Judgment is a big problem in your working place and it makes you sad and now you are free from judgment.
Control
Controlling one’s own life is a dream for everyone. Now you can not control your time and work. Its the reason for your mental health. If you start gardening it will teach you how to be in control of your life. If you don’t control the plant’s problem, plants demand they will die.
