Hi, it's Amelia here. And today I want to share with you a great exercise that I learned while I was doing my Mental Health First Aid course, I took a weekend course, it was two full days, it was all about mental health, and how life events can have a huge impact in your overall mental state and physical state to so in this exercise, as you can see, they have a series of life events from number one to number 43. And every event has a score. So the exercise, you have to select the ones that are the life events that have happened to you lately. And then you will add the score at the end. And that score will let you know if you are if you are in risk of a major health breakdown.
So there are a lot of life events that can happen to you anytime, and every life event has a huge impact. So I invite you to do this exercise. Yes Select the ones that have happened to you lately, our discord at the end. And then if you had 150 points or less, that means that you are on a relatively low amount of life change, and you are not susceptible to stress. So that's good. If you're between 150 or 300 points, that means that you are have 50% chance of a major health breakdown in the next two years.
So what happened, like in a few days, it can happen up to two years later. So that's why it's really important to like understand what's going on and trying to address those problems, or like events. And if you have 300 points or more, you have 80% chances of having a health breakdown. So as you can see, every life event, every circumstances that you run into during your life has a huge impact in your mental health state in your mindset, and in your overall like physical health too. So it is really Important to reflect it is really important to understand what's going on in your life. If you're not feeling well just spend time maybe talk with someone else, a good friend, a good family member, or maybe our therapists, whoever you feel comfortable with, and try to understand what's happening, why it's happening.
How can you approach it? What is the right mindset that you can have. And please don't let this just go on. Keep leading with these problems because as you can see, like, you can have repercussions even two years later. So whatever you are doing today, it's going to affect your overall mental health. So make sure that you are addressing everything that you can and you are asking for help for everything else that you don't know how to manage.
So I would love to read your comments below once you have done this exercise and if you have any questions or any comments, please share them below. And I'm looking forward to read them. See you in the next video. Have a good one.
