Often, your mental health is in the middle of a prolonged fever, but you don't even know it. So how can you easily test your mental health temperature? Simply! Just observe your reaction to simple troubles in life. How would you react to a burned toast? When you are feeling comfortable, strong, relaxed, you say "No big deal, let's throw in another slice of bread in there." When you are rushed, under pressure, feeling down, a burnt toast is a calamity. If you don't toast your bread, you could use any other little problem that life throws in your way (i.e. getting cut off on your way to work, people bumping into you on a busy train, someone hogging your favourite treadmill, etc.).
It is really important to take care of your mental health. One of the most important reasons for this is that your mental health has a huge impact on your physical health. When you are feeling happy and confident, you don't get sick, you eat well. You can even go exercise without much prodding.
Check your mental health temperature often. It's good for you!
