@ChiromoHospGrp @GeorgeWNjoroge @Baby_Naaaaa @Lukayi_Chosen @BDiana1st @mental360kenya @w_mwangi19 @Mybody_Ke @mulindwa_guy @J_YouthAdvocate The mental health needs are when someone may experience feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed leading to depression, some of the experiences may lead to trauma and avoidance of any reminders leading to social isolation, some may fear socializing.

@ChiromoHospGrp @Muthoni_mk @CarolsammyG @khannafisa07 @njambi_gacheru If you realize you are more driven by purpose over pleasure or vice versa, being intentional about creating a balance would help. Scheduling and participating in activities that create a balance would help. Rewarding any improvements to encourage growth would also help.

@ChiromoHospGrp @Muthoni_mk @CarolsammyG @khannafisa07 @njambi_gacheru Societal pressure has a way of pressuring you to prioritize on purpose especially in developing countries in the hope of a better life. If this shifted I believe people would still be happier and wealthier but would have to learn to generate income through pleasurable activities.

@ChiromoHospGrp @Muthoni_mk @CarolsammyG @khannafisa07 @njambi_gacheru The balance between purpose and pleasure shifts with age. People in their 20s tend to value pleasure rather than purpose while people in their 60s tend to value purpose rather than pleasure this could be due to the changes in the body. People in the middle tend to value both.

@ChiromoHospGrp @Muthoni_mk @CarolsammyG @khannafisa07 @njambi_gacheru Upbringing has a way of shaping our perception of how we relate with the world. People who grew up with more emphasis on purpose may end up overlooking pleasure and vice versa. However when someone has a growth mindset that may change when they are exposed to benefits of both.

@ChiromoHospGrp @Muthoni_mk @khannafisa07 @CarolsammyG I guess both purpose and pleasure can be a great source of happiness, however people with purpose can be happier, healthier and even wealthier. They are more likely to practice healthy habits, sleep better, enjoy stronger personal relationships and have better mental health.

The society may blame her for dressing, the way she conducts herself around men, why she was late if it happened in the night, this is because men are considered superior to women.

Listen to what the other person is saying and attend to their needs as well. Everything doesn't have to go our way to negotiate and compromise

This overtime can lead to exhaustion especially if the other party is not reciprocating. Other times those we care about maybe more vulnerable leading to us forsaking our own needs to meet other's needs.
