Mental health isn’t a “do once and forget” kind of thing. It requires daily maintenance just like good nutrition and exercise for your physical health. I know I have to work on positive self-talk every day.
Here are five mental health tips for you to use this week:
- Monday – Make a list of 5 things that you’re grateful for today.
- Tuesday – Practice positive affirmations (you can write these on your bathroom mirror)
- Wednesday – Start a conversation about mental health with someone.
- Thursday – Stay hydrated! Make a real effort to drink enough water.
- Friday – Take a break from screens (phone, computer, etc) and get outside.
QUOTES TO MAKE YOU THINK!
“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” — Fred Rogers
