When
it comes to New Year’s resolutions, our self-improvement efforts often
focus on getting a better body. And we ignore that other, equally
important part of our wellbeing: our mental health.
Certain
health hazards come with warnings, like cigarettes or alcohol, but less
obvious ones, like loneliness and rejection, can take just as great
toll, says psychologist Guy Winch, author of Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure and Other Everyday Hurts. Research shows
social isolation is linked to shorter lifespans, yet we often ignore
our emotional hygiene. “If our dental hygiene were as poor as our
emotional hygiene, we’d be all gums and no teeth,” says Winch.
This year, prioritize your mind as well as your body, and make a
resolution for better mental health. Here are some of Winch’s tips for
prioritizing your emotional hygiene in the new year (and all year long).
1. Pay attention to emotional pain. Psychological
pain is much like physical pain—if something hurts for more than a few
days, you need to do something about it. If you experience rejection,
failure, or have a bad mood that lingers too long, don’t ignore it.
2. Take action when you feel lonely. Chronic loneliness is devastating to your emotional and physical health because it increases your chances
of an early death by 14%. Therefore, when you feel lonely, actions like
reaching out to family members, connecting with friends or joining a
dating website can help. Make a list of people who you’ve been close to
in the past (use your phone book, social media friends, and email
contacts) and reach out to one of them each day to chat or to make
plans. It will feel scary and risky to take those kinds of steps, but
that’s what you need to do to break the cycle of disconnection and end
your emotional isolation.
3. Stop your emotional bleeding. Psychological
wounds tend to create vicious cycles that get worse with time. Failure
can lead to feelings of helplessness that in turn can make you more
likely to fail again in the future. To break the negative cycle of
failure, find ways to gain control of the situation. Our minds are not
as reliable as we tend to think, so ignore misleading feelings from your
gut that tell you to give up, and focus on the aspects within your
control, such as your preparation, planning, effort and execution.
4. Protect your self-esteem. Your self-esteem is
like an emotional immune system—it can increase your resilience and
protect you from stress and anxiety. Good emotional hygiene involves
monitoring your self-esteem and boosting it when it’s low. How? Avoid
negative self-talk that damages it further—despite how tempting it might
be to indulge these kinds of thoughts at times.
5. Revive your self-worth after a rejection. It’s
very common to be self-critical after you get rejected. It’s an
unfortunate reaction, since that’s when your self-esteem is already
hurting. You’re most likely to call yourself names, list all your faults
and shortcomings and generally kick yourself when you’re already down.
The most important thing you can do after getting rejected is to treat
yourself with the same compassion you would treat a good friend. Make
sure your inner voice is kind, understanding and supportive.
6. Battle negative thinking. When something
upsetting happens, it’s natural to brood over it. But replaying the
scene over and over in your mind will not give you much insight or
closure. The best way to break a brooding cycle is to distract yourself
with a task that requires concentration, like a game on your cell phone,
a quick run or a crossword puzzle.
7. Be informed on the impact of common psychological wounds and how to treat them. You
know how to treat a cut or a cold, so you should also know how to treat
rejection, failure, loneliness, guilt and other common emotional
wounds. By becoming mindful about your psychological health and adopting
habits of good emotional hygiene, you will not only heal your
psychological injuries when you sustain them, but you will elevate your
entire quality of life
