6 Habits for Good Mental Health

6 Habits for Good Mental Health

REMEMBER TO PRAISE YOURSELF FOR TRYING

Every day won’t be a milestone, but your efforts always matter. Even when you can’t bring yourself to get out of bed, the fact you care and want to get better means something. Be kind to yourself, surround yourself with positive people and celebrate your achievements. Big or small, every step you take to improve mental health and live a better life deserves recognition.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PROBLEMS

In order to improve mental health, we have to acknowledge and engage with it. We can’t assume that therapy or medication will automatically fix our issues. In order to get better, you have to understand what “better” looks like for you. By clearly defining our objectives, we are more capable of taking concrete steps toward recovery.

MEDITATE

Meditation has been proven to improve the symptoms of anxiety and depression in multiple studies. Meditation is intimidating for a lot of people; when you’re already consumed by your nagging thoughts, the last thing you want to do is set aside time to be alone with them.

Laugh

We all know that having a good laugh reduces stress levels, so why not make it a daily habit? Make sure you factor in having fun at least once a day, whether it’s seeing a friend you know will make you laugh or watching funny clips on YouTube.

GO TO BED ON TIME

Turning off all screens an hour before bedtime and cutting off caffeine at least six hours before bed will help you sleep more soundly throughout the night. If you really struggle to fall asleep and nothing helps cure your insomnia, speak to your doctor. He or she may be able to prescribe melatonin supplements or other sleep aids that will help you get some rest.

EAT A MOOD-BOOSTING MEAL

In addition to following a healthy diet, you can instantly help your mental state by eating a meal packed with mind-nourishing nutrients. Carbs (in moderation) can increase the output of serotonin, the “happy hormone.” Protein helps make you more alert by stimulating the production of dopamine, norepinephrine and tyrosine
