Today is World Mental Health Day a day when we're all encouraged to create awareness about this debilitating illness.

Our focus is on the relationship between #financialhealth & #mentalhealth.

Indeed, research shows clearly, that there is a link between your financial health & your mental health. Your debt or other financial troubles are likely to have a significant impact on your psychological state.

Here are some of the symptoms:

? Irritability, bad temper, aggression

? Feeling lethargic & unwell with general malaise

? Headaches

? Difficulty sleeping

? Worrying a lot or having feelings of fear and anxiety

? Depression, despondency

? Arguing with loved ones over money, separation & divorce

? Denial

? Desperation & crime

? Alcohol and drug abuse

? High blood Pressure, Strokes & Heart attacks

? Suicide

Financial troubles can come in various forms; Serious financial challenges require serious action. You cannot wish away the problems. If you ignore them, they'll overwhelm you. You do need to take concrete steps to get out of the quagmire. Some may need to be drastic. They include cutting back on non essential #expenses, seeking ways to increase income including working longer hours or at #weekends, having a second #job, identifying your #skill sets & #talents & looking for ways to monetize them and selling #assets.

To beat financial stress you must first identify what is causing it. Having more money might not be the solution. It may well be changing your lifestyle or spending habits. Money can be fleeting; it doesn't just happen. It requires the developing of a long term financial plan, focus, discipline, & commitment to change, for it to last. With sound financial health, peace of mind is more likely. At least there is one less thing to worry about.
