Hi friends!

Earlier in the week, we talked about the importance of our intellectual wellness, and what that means and looks like in our daily lives.

Intellectual health isn't just limited to academic or scholarly knowledge, intellectual health also entails creativity, general knowledge, and common sense. Our thoughts are influenced by each of these factors, which in turn influence our decisions.

In mental health crisis situations or situations that can turn into a crisis, our senses are often times heightened and things seem intense and scary, it can be hard during these moments to think clearly and logically, especially when it comes to decision making.

By improving our intellectual health, we are better able to think clearly, logically, and make better decisions. How are you going to improve your intellectual health today?
