Why Mental Health is Important | UpMore.Today Review
Are you tired of the daily grind? Do you want to improve your mental health and well being to lead a more satisfying life? Have you been wondering how to find your purpose in life? Maybe you know why mental health is important for finding meaning in life but you just can’t seem to shake your demons?
(This post is sponsored by UpMore.today.)
I’ve been there too. Soon after my husband and I got married almost 10 years ago, we tried to start a family. Long story short, after over a year of disappointment month after month, then 5 years of tests, procedures, 4 rounds of failed IUI and 2 failed IVF cycles we turned to adoption. The adoption process is also not the easiest thing to get through, but we did and we adopted our first child in 2018. After her adoption is when it all hit me.
I forgot about MY life while I was trying to add another life to our family. I felt lost. That’s when I realized that I’d been experiencing several emotional health and mental health issues. I had symptoms of depression left over from all the infertility struggles. Anxiety was my new normal and I couldn’t shake the “what if’s”. I was also unsure as to who I was anymore.
Then I started my search for self healing. I quit jobs, started new ones, picked up new “hobbies” that I stuck with for about a minute, dyed my hair, stopped working out, worked out more, etc… I tried on as many hats as I could but nothing felt like “this is me”. Also, I went to see not one, but four different psychologists to talk through everything effecting my emotional health conditions.

Nothing helped my mental health conditions. I was still anxious, mildly depressed, and lost.
That’s when I had to stop and take a really long, in depth look at myself. I began analyzing everything in my life to help me find my purpose again. I started practicing gratitude every day, focusing on the little things in my life. By tuning into my emotions I allowed myself to actually FEEL what I was feeling before I decided what I was going to do about it. Relaxation, which used to be an anomaly for me, became a new practice. And my mental health problems finally dissipated.
I FINALLY found peace. But it took a couple YEARS! And now I have started this blog to hopefully help you and others that may be suffering from similar mental disorders after or while experiencing one of life’s many struggles.
So I have to tell you about this really cool company I found that offers mental health building tools and interactive resources that can help you improve your well being in MINUTES rather than YEARS! Have you heard of UpMore.today?
UpMore.today offers easy-to-use, online tools that show you ways to improve your mental health and well being.
I started using UpMore.today a little while ago because, as you know, good mental health has to be maintained! At first I thought that I would just go with the free plan. Yes, I said FREE! But then I looked at what all I got with the paid plan and I HAD to go with that! Just check out what all you get with each plan:
I honestly have never been this happy about a product/service I have purchased until I found UpMore.today’s tools for positive mental health, and here’s why:
1. It’s insanely AFFORDABLE!! I have spent a LOT of money on gratitude journals, behavioral health therapy, “things” to make me happy, vacations to make me happy, etc… Nothing worked for me until I searched my own soul. All my answers were right there but I just couldn’t figure out how to tap into them! These modules and tools guide you through the process to figuring that out and it’s only $4.97/month or you can pay for the year and SAVE 17%!
2. It is SO EASY! The modules include video instructions as well as written instructions. The interactive mental health assessment tools such as the Mood Wizard and the Gratitude Journal guide you through questions to help you to analyze and track your emotions and thoughts. Also, before you even begin any modules or tools, there are “how to videos” to show you what to expect in each section including the science behind it.
**PRO TIP: You can check out the “how to videos” on the FREE plan before you decide whether or not you want to pay for the monthly plan!
3. It is SO beneficial! Whether you or someone you know struggles with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, loss of sense of self/purpose these tools and lessons will give you the knowledge and guidance to work on improving these mental health issues. These tools will guide you through: calming exercises, relaxation exercises, weekly challenges, how to help someone else that is struggling, assessing your own moods/thoughts, reflecting on gratitude, the importance of sleep and food to your mental health, and finally to finding your true purpose in life!

As the old saying goes, “what the mind conceives, the body receives.” It just means that whatever state our mental health is in will have an effect on our body. Thus, we need to maintain our mental health.
