Mental health is essential for everyone’s well-being, and each day brings challenges that leave many of us struggling. But here’s some good news – there are things you can do at home if you feel you're struggling with mental health!
Here are ways to prioritize your mental health and cope with obstacles of daily life:
Start each day with self-love.
Be kind to yourself. Work on not comparing yourself to others, don’t worry about others’ opinions of you, and allow yourself to make mistakes. When you notice your thoughts going in a different direction, try to catch yourself and give yourself some love.
Celebrate your small wins.
A win is a win, no matter how big or small. Celebrate the small wins that move you one step closer to your goals.
Say “no” when it doesn’t serve you.
You can absolutely say no to something that doesn’t serve you and your goals. Practice this effort without feeling guilty and know that you’re doing what’s best for you.
Get moving.
Exercise in any form is a great way to relieve stress. You can get a boost from endorphins during and after your workout. Exercise has been proven to improve mood, help you relax, lower symptoms of mild depression and anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
Create a peaceful work environment.
If you feel overly stressed at work, or if the daily routine is wearing on you, try to create as peaceful environment as you can. Add a personal touch to your workspace. Try to keep the space clean and organized, add plants, pictures or candles, and write down your to-do’s. You can even create a “relaxation” area to separate “work” and "break time".
Try the Pomodoro Technique to focus while also getting mindful breaks in. This is a time management strategy that breaks your work time into 30 minute intervals with a 5 minute break. Take these 30 minutes seriously and eliminate all distractions. When the 30 minutes are up, you can take a few minutes to reset, grab a coffee, check your phone or practice quick meditation. Then get right back to it. You'd be surprised how motivating this method can be!
Know that your feelings are valid.
It’s okay to feel whatever you are feeling. There’s a lot going on. Struggling with mental health is not a weakness, and it certainly doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It’s 100% okay to feel how and what you’re feeling. Do not apologize for that. Make time to prioritize your mental well-being.
Write it down.
If you’re looking for ways to process your emotions or make sense of what’s going on, try writing it down in a journal or simply in a pad of paper. This helps relieve stress, allows you to self-reflect, boosts memory, inspires creativity, and helps you set and achieve your goals.
Learn to smile and laugh.
It may seem silly but making an effort to smile and laugh at little things in life can help improve your mood. Try to find something that makes you smile or laugh at least once a day. Smiling helps reduce stress from neurotransmitters that the body will release.
Get organized.
Disorganization and clutter have been known to increase stress levels. It may clutter up your living space, but also your mind. Decluttering can help put your brain at rest and make it easier for you to feel happy and relaxed.
