I Do Care About You: Let’s Talk about Mental Health
Mental health is essential to our overall well-being, but it’s easy to dismiss the importance of taking care of our mental health. In this article, we’ll focus on how you can improve your mental health in fun ways while not breaking the bank.
Start Your Day On A Positive Note
Starting your day with a smile is an excellent way to boost your mood for the rest of the day. Begin each day by setting some intentions and practice gratitude for all that’s right in your life instead of thinking about everything that’s wrong.
Here are three things you need to accomplish every morning before leaving home:
- Brew some coffee and enjoy a cup before starting work
- Listen or sing along with some music that makes you happy
- Take 10 minutes to stretch or do yoga poses.
Go Green & Get Outside!
Nature therapy doesn’t have any bad side effects, nothing toxic and no prescription needed– plus freshly oxygenated air! Time spent outside allows us space from technology so we may concentrate more easily; seeing greenery soothes short-term memory loss (which city living generates), helping attention span + ability to focus (ever tried quieting down when hearing beeps / notifications?) and redirects “attention fatigue syndrome.” How refreshing stepping away from responsibilities feels!
Benefits Of Going To The Park
Frequent visits around green areas significantly benefit physical wellbeing as well as emotional development, including:
- Lower amount of anxiety feel-

Although most people view walking barefoot outdoors like something done at infancy age mostly, doing so could provide real benefits for grown-ups too! It improves sleep quality and lessens feelings such as being depressed or anxious.
Go Ahead, Treat Yourself
Self-care is more than bubble baths and face masks (although they’re also amazing). It’s a reflection that we value ourselves to deserve it as people. Remember self-pampering? For example:
- Schedule activities you love: spay days; outdoor yoga classes, festive events etc.
- Buy yourself small gifts such as flowers
- Sit outside with a good book or magazine
Get Enough Rest & Meditation Matters Too!
Did you know one in three adults has poor sleep quality^? A sleep deficit will negatively impact your mood but can help reduce anxiety and depression when you get the right amount of rest needed.
Sleep actually doesn’t only mean hours slept through night time–in case You misinterpret the terms! Your body may be able to enter into phychoactive states by practicing mindful meditation which lowers cortisol levels + fighting against insomnia+.
