💭 Mental health – an essential component of our overall health and wellness, yet often overlooked and neglected. This month is Mental Health Awareness month, a time where people come together to raise awareness about mental health and the importance of taking care of our well-being. So, let us focus on our own mental health and wellness 🌿☁️✨
💖 Here are some strategies you can use to care for your mental health!
Practice Mindfulness 🧠
Breathing exercises or guided meditation are examples of mindfulness techniques that can help manage stress and anxiety.
Even if it’s just for a few minutes, making time to practise mindfulness can make a difference in your day!
Connect with Family & Friends 🫂
As social beings, the connection, support, love, and belonging we feel when being with friends and family is what we need to thrive. This makes connecting with people dear to you a great way to reduce stress and improve mental health!
Studies have shown that people who feel connected to others are less likely to experience anxiety or sadness, feeling increased happiness instead.
Looking after your physical health 🤸🏻
Your wellbeing and mental health can be improved by looking after your physical health. Whether it’s running, dancing, playing a sport, or even walking, being active for at least 30 minutes a day can help boost your mood! Also remember to eat a healthy and balanced diet, in addition to getting enough sleep.
