Hi, my name is Janet Reuben Okon.
I am a Writer, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Health & Wellness Blogger and Human Anatomist.
Art of True Zeal Blog is a Health and Wellness Blog. Being a part of Mental Health Awareness Month 2025 is one of my greatest joy 💕. These are the articles I’ve published for mental health awareness month:
I thought about “wellness” being our last blog post for Mental Health Awareness Month because this will be an active reminder for us to always take good care of our mental health daily ❤️ ✨
Today, I will be your health and wellness educator and consultant and we will discuss The Role of Wellness in Mental Health 🎉
Wellness is the act of practicing healthy daily habits to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.
I say this very often and I’ll say it again, I can’t imagine my university life without taking good care of myself 😭❤️
🌟It helps to manage stress and anxiety and improve mental health.
🌟It helps to improve our sleep quality.
🌟It helps to prevent the development of chronic diseases and other health issues.
🌟It makes us able to cope with life’s challenges and thrive in life.
🌟It makes us aware of our strengths and abilities.
🌟It enables us to work productively.
🌟It helps to build a healthy relationship with our family, friends and colleagues.
🌟It enables us to grow in career as well as in life.
🌟It can foster a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Being open about my mental health is as a result of how I’ve been able to practice wellness over the years. Incorporating wellness into my life began from the little matters of my heart into a plan and with consistent practice, it has made me who I am today ❤️
