Mind Over Matter
Navigating Mental, Physical, & Emotional Health In Gaming
Mental Health
Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout can help you maintain a healthy mindset. Online interactions can sometimes be intense or competitive, so it’s crucial to practice mindfulness and self-awareness to avoid getting caught up in negative emotions. Seeking support from friends, family, or mental health professionals can provide valuable resources and guidance for managing any mental health challenges that may arise on and offline.
Emotional Health
Interactions in the virtual world can have real emotional impacts, so it’s essential to practice empathy, respect, and kindness towards yourself and your fellow gamers. We remind our community to be mindful of their own emotions and take breaks if they start to feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Communication is key in online gaming, so don’t hesitate to speak up if you’re feeling uncomfortable or if someone else’s behavior is affecting your emotional well-being.
Physical Health
We prioritize our physical health while gaming by taking breaks, staying hydrated, and practicing good posture to prevent strain on your body. Your well-being is important, even during intense gaming sessions. Our community hosts fitness challenges and engage in healthy competition to keep each other accountable. You cannot enjoy your favorite games when you’re in the hospital so remember to take regular breaks to stretch, move around, and give your eyes a rest from the screen.
Always Remember To Breathe
Remember, sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax and recharge.
