Form 1

What is good for your mental health?

Doing something for a change is a good way. It could be a five?minute

rest from cleaning your house, a half?hour lunch break at work or a weekend finding somewhere new.

Taking a break may mean being very active. It may mean not doing very much at all. Take a deep breath... and relax. Try yoga or a deep thought, or just putting your feet up. A few minutes can be enough to make you feel good.

Listening to your body is also helpful. If you're really tired, give yourself time to sleep. Sometimes the world can wait.

Form 2

What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in?

Enjoying yourself is good for your mental health, too. Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you're good at it and being good at something builds up your confidence(自信).

Having a hobby like gardening, dancing or drawing can help you forget your worries for a while and change your mood(情绪).

I'm learning the guitar. I have to really give attention to getting it right, so there's no room in my head for worries.

It can be good to have an interest where you are not someone's mom or dad, teacher or doctor. You are just you.

An hour of drawing lets you show yourself creatively. A morning on the football ground gets you active and gives you the chance to meet new people.

“Hi! How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane, She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.

I didn’t reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.

“Hi!” I replied.

“My name is Laura. I'm from Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.

Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful.

You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. I’m this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”

She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I'll lose my happiness.”
