Aware and Alive: Shining a Light on Mental Health Awareness

Description

It’s a journey to the things that exceed the frame of the well-known mental health literature. Aware and Alive: Shining a Light on Mental Health Awareness by Shadab Chow is a movement to light mental health awareness. It’s a book that aims to give leads to a flourishing mental life in a world that rarely deems it as a valuable pursuit.

Why Mental Health Awareness Matters

Mental health is the new buzzword, but sadly, it is also the new red-headed stepchild. This is the rationale behind Shadab Chow’s Aware and Alive: ‘Why “aware” is the first step towards being healthy… and, of course, happy.’ Aware, which Chow calls’ a rare personal stories-based mental health publication,’ tackles the complicated balance between daily life and mental health. Though only insinuated, the book’s underlying subtext is the need to be more mindful of mental health.

Boosting Your Mental Health

Aware and Alive thoroughly explores Practical techniques and tools as Shadab Chow shares his findings, unquenchable passion, and personal experience to help you thrive. Mental illness is a vast and poorly understood subject. The strategies being shared under the guidance of two brilliant individuals count as the best I have read so far on the subject. Regardless of your ailment, be it anxiety, depression, or any issue that you feel hinders your ability to live your best life, Aware and Alive will provide you with hope. I hope both for a better quality of life and helpful strategies to navigate the sometimes risky waters of mental health. 

Mastering Stress Management

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but you don’t have to feel like a failure for letting stress take over your life. Reduce stress — both stress during moments of crisis and chronic stress — serves as the overall theme for Aware and Alive, but it offers much more than that, revealing what to do and how to do it. Written in an accessible style for readers of any background, you can learn and apply techniques to manage and reduce stress so that rather than a debilitating aspect of your life, it can become a manageable one. Author Shadab Chow’s practical recommendations and real-world analogies help you understand stress, its impact on the brain and body, and most importantly, how you can change your ineffective response to stress to one that keeps you in control. His advice and insights sustain you on the journey towards living a less stressful and more balanced existence. 

The Art of Mindfulness Meditation

From developing focus and concentration to mastering meditation techniques, Mindfulness Meditation gives you a hands-on, how-to guide to the art and philosophy of mindfulness meditation. Aware and Alive: How to Live Mindfully in the Moment explores the core benefits of adopting mindfulness in our daily lives. Shadab Chow introduces mindfulness, a meditation technique, stress-reduction therapy, and a way of living that is all rolled into one. It is a complete guide to meditation, starting from the fundamentals of breath awareness and culminating in the advanced stages of getting wholly immersed in meditation. Mindfulness is not a ritual. It is neither an escape mechanism nor a facilitator that calms you in the moment so that you can go back to what unsettled you in the first place. It helps you slow down but also makes you more aware and alert. It brings happiness to your life but also makes you aware of your problems while finding that happiness.
