It\u2019s impossible to overstate the benefits of relaxation in mental health. The human brain is a muscle. It needs time to rest from its daily exertion, process the flood of stimuli bombarding its every moment, and integrate new information<\/a> into your mental schema.<\/p>

However, today\u2019s busy culture makes you feel guilty when you aren\u2019t constantly on the go. Hey \u2013 you biologically need time to relax your mind from stress. No, you don\u2019t have to do it all (and, actually, you shouldn\u2019t)<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Link Between Our Busy Culture and Mental Health<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The culture you find yourself in influences how it impacts your mental health. For example, Americans have some of the worst health outcomes in the developed world, and it isn\u2019t only the for-profit medical model<\/a> that\u2019s to blame.<\/p>

Conversely, the European Union guarantees workers in member nations at least 20 days of paid vacation per year, and many countries go above and beyond this requirement. Doing so greatly safeguards citizens\u2019 mental health.<\/p>

The busy culture you find yourself in also bears much of the shame for the skyrocketing rates of chronic illness, anxiety and depression, and deaths of despair<\/strong>.<\/p>

For example, an hourly worker struggling to get by may not have time off work to see a medical doctor, let alone a therapist, and may lack coverage even if they can sneak away. In despair, they attempt to self-medicate their overwhelming emotions with drugs or alcohol. They feel better temporarily \u2013 until these substances cause brain changes that lead to addiction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\u00a0<\/span>Once people enter this downward spiral, they get little sympathy or help in many cases. Instead, they\u2019re blamed for their condition, making them isolate themselves or spend their time only with other users. Job and relationship loss can follow, eventually leading to yet another death of despair unless someone intervenes.<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Many people have, in short, forgotten that they are primarily social animals that evolved to support and uplift one another, not tug on \u201cbootstraps.\u201d A recent JAMA analysis by leading neurobiologists explores why deaths of despair continue skyrocketing in some countries<\/a>, like the United States but not in 16 similarly wealthy nations.<\/p>

The answer? Every other country has social programs to prevent people from falling into despair when life inevitably \u201chappens.\u201d They have national health programs that cover them when they get sick without fear of bankruptcy. They\u2019re guaranteed job protections like paid leave, and getting an education doesn\u2019t preclude them from buying a home or starting a family, thanks to overwhelming student loan debt.<\/p>

As a result, some cultures are an \u201ceveryone for themselves\u201d free-for-all of greed that leaves you scrambling to earn enough money so that society\u2019s problems can\u2019t touch you<\/strong>.<\/p>

Instead, everyone should be working together to solve these collective issues \u2013 but doing so in a culture adverse to human rights and needs labels you a \u201cpie-in-the-sky idealist.\u201d That alone can diminish your mental health, making you feel alone in believing that people should be human beings first, and producers second<\/strong>.<\/p>

How can you keep from losing your mind amid a toxic culture? Use the following four tips to keep your priorities straight and relax your mind from stress<\/a>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

1. Ask, \u201cwill this matter?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

Before you freak out that your great Aunt Tilly is on the way over and you haven\u2019t cleaned the house, ask yourself if her \u201ctsk-tsk\u201d will matter to you in five years. It may not even matter a week from now. However, that promotion you earned will still be paying dividends, so pick your battles and let the rest go<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

2. Tend to your infrastructure first<\/strong><\/p>

There\u2019s a lot of talk about revitalizing infrastructure. News pundits fail to realize that you can\u2019t have sturdy bridges or functioning trains without healthy people to build and maintain them.<\/p>

You are ultimately your own infrastructure. Dedicate at least a half-hour each day to getting a nice workout, eating a healthy meal, and generally taking care of yourself. Nobody will prioritize your health besides you.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

3. Focus on those closest to you<\/strong><\/p>

Few people lie on their deathbed and say, \u201cI regret not working more.\u201d What people miss the most are the times they didn\u2019t share with the ones they loved the most. Your relationships are what make your life rich \u2013 so nurture them<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

4. Find your life\u2019s purpose<\/strong><\/p>

Freidrich Neitchze once said, \u201cHe who has a why to live can bear almost any how.\u201d There are plenty of happy servers awaiting their big Hollywood break or earning degree credits. Determine what inspires your passion and find a way to live for that<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Today\u2019s busy culture can make you feel guilty if you stop the hustle and grind for even one minute. However, relaxation benefits your mental health immensely. Follow the tips above to learn how to relax your mind from stress and take back control of your life. No, you don\u2019t have to do it all \u2013 nor should you!<\/strong><\/p>
