Vinti emphasizes that mental health in the workplace is critical for both personal well-being and professional success. A poor work-life balance often leads to stress, anxiety, or burnout. For example, an employee consistently working overtime without breaks may suffer emotional exhaustion, ultimately decreasing productivity. As a life coach, Vinti has helped numerous clients through strategies such as mindfulness, effective time management, and setting clear boundaries. One of her clients, for instance, saw a significant improvement in their mental health by learning to prioritize tasks and taking regular breaks.

On World Mental Health Day 2024, let's remember that a balanced mind starts with a balanced body. The food we consume plays a crucial role in our mental well-being, especially in the workplace where stress and pressure are constant. Organic, pure, and natural foods provide essential nutrients that not only nourish the body but also support brain function, boost mood, and reduce anxiety. At Nutriorg, we believe that farm-fresh, chemical-free food is the foundation of mental clarity and resilience. When you fuel your body with natural goodness, you can perform better, think clearer, and manage stress more effectively. Let’s prioritize our mental health by choosing nutrition that truly cares.

Maintaining mental health at work is essential for both productivity and personal well-being. With the pressures of deadlines, multitasking, and constant challenges, it’s important to prioritize self-care. Taking short breaks, managing stress through mindfulness, and seeking support when needed can make a huge difference. Work environments should encourage open dialogue about mental health, fostering a culture where employees feel safe to express their concerns. Remember, mental well-being is just as important as physical health, and balancing both will lead to greater satisfaction and success in the workplace. Your mind deserves care, just as much as your work does.

Laha has since focused on sci-fi, publishing four novels, including the acclaimed "Virtually Lost." His latest work, "The Scent of Redemption," begins a sci-fi trilogy.
In today's achievement-driven lifestyle, mental health often takes a backseat. Beyond the workplace, societal stigmas, such as men facing abuse from women, can pose challenges, particularly when living among those who might take advantage of vulnerability. These factors contribute to the bottling up of emotions, resulting in missed opportunities and reduced productivity. I believe that fostering empathy and vulnerability can significantly aid us in combating mental struggles.
8. Burnout often arises in careers when individuals prioritize professional advancement over essential emotional needs. Coaches Jimlee Mahanta and Sanhita Baruah from Guwahati have successfully guided women entrepreneurs in Assam to increase their income fivefold by addressing these needs. Their program, "What's Next? Tune Into Your Choices," promotes financial growth while fostering an empathetic support system.
Coach Sanhita Baruah says, "On World Mental Health Day, let's prioritize mental well-being and acknowledge the significance of emotional health. It's vital to reflect, seek support, and cultivate a compassionate environment where everyone can share their struggles."
Coach Jimlee Mahanta says, "Your efforts in empowering women entrepreneurs play a crucial role in creating this supportive community. Keep inspiring and uplifting those around you!"
