Written by Mojca Štruc, translated by JL Flanner and G Translate
Veliko mladih je v duševni stiski, smo lahko slišali ob svetovnem dnevu duševnega zdravja. Ta je bil letos posvečen mladim.
Many young people are in distress, we heard on the World Day of Mental Health. This year was dedicated to young people.
Toda, kaj duševno zdravje sploh je?
But what is mental health anyway?
Psihologinja Niki Jakol iz Zdravstvenega doma Velenje pravi, da bi mu lahko rekli tudi »čustveno zdravje«. Sestavljajo ga dobro počutje, uspešno premagovanje težav in zadovoljstvo s samim seboj.
The Psychologist Niki Jakol from the Velenje Health Center says that we could also say "emotional health". This consists of well-being, successful overcoming of problems and satisfaction with oneself.
Za otroke in mlade je pripravila 10 nasvetov, kako postati mojster za duševno zdravje:
She has 10 tips on how children and young people can become a mental health master::
- Vsako noč si privošči dovolj spanja (10 ur za otroke stare 12 let ali manj in 8 ur za starejše).
- Get enough sleep each night (10 hours for children aged 12 years or less, and 8 hours for those older).
- Migaj! Vsak dan se gibaj in bodi fizično aktiven vsaj eno uro.
- Move! Every day move and be physically active for at least an hour.
- Poskrbi za zdravo prehrano.
- Take care to get healthy food.
- Druži se s prijatelji, sošolci in sorodniki. Skupaj počnite kaj zabavnega!
- Hang out with friends, classmates and relatives. Do something fun together!
- O svojih težavah se pogovarjaj.
- Talk about your problems.
- Počni stvari, ki te veselijo. Razmisli, kaj te sprosti, nasmeji, v čem uživaš.
- Do things that make you happy. Think about what sets you free, makes you, what you enjoy.
- Do sebe bodi prijazen, kot bi se pogovarjal z najboljšim prijateljem. Ko si uspešen, se pohvali. Ko ti ne gre, ne pozabi, da se učimo iz napak.
- Be kind to yourself as you would talk to your best friend. When you're successful, you can be proud. When you are not, do not forget to learn from mistakes.
- Ko občutiš čustva žalost, jezo ali razočaranje, jih skušaj izraziti. Lahko se s kom pogovoriš, jih zapišeš v dnevnik, narišeš, zaplešeš.
