What is Mental Wellness?

Mental wellness is a dynamic state of being that helps us think, feel, connect, and function – it is the foundation from which we build resilience, grow, and flourish in a world where change is the only constant.

We all fluctuate along a spectrum of different mental states. But do you spend more time in the negative ones than you'd like to? Check out these stats from The American Institute of Stress, you're not alone.

We have some good news and some more good news: you don't have to move to a tropical island to realize your mental wellness goals and in fact, we're bringing the tools you need to the palm of your hand.

The Science of Stress: Origins

Stress is inevitable, it's kind of a package deal with living and breathing. The biochemical changes and emotions stress produces are your body's natural response to help you survive dangerous situations.

Imagine your ancestor coming across a lion. This situation warrants stress, wouldn't you say? Luckily, a jolt of high-powered adrenaline kicks in and off they go, running to save their life.

Once they escape this danger, their body returns to its natural biochemical balance, and their usual jolly mood resumes.

The Science of Stress: Modern Day

Unfortunately, we aren't built for the sustained stress many of us face today.

Bills to pay, professional and family relationships to maintain, gloomy headlines to process. The flood of stressors can be endless.

All this stress deprioritizes our body's immune and anti-inflammatory processes. When done temporarily to escape linons, it's a worthwhile tradeoff, but stretched over months and years? Deprioritizing these functions creates an imbalance in our microbiome that can lead to a negative cycle of physical and mental wellness challenges.
