We should never take our mental health for granted: our mental state requires regular attending to, and there are many forms and techniques for doing so. For some, it’s counselling, group therapy, meditation, yoga or the practice of mindfulness. For others, it’s just a walk in the park. We give so much of our time to maintaining how we physically appear to others: our dress style, our physical appearance, our taste in music, books, film etc. Our mental state deserves as much attention, if not more.
