Five top tips for mental health;
1.) Get outdoors, significantly reducing stress anxiety and depression all while boosting mood and cognitive function. Getting outside allows you to get out of your mind, seeing how beautiful the world and nature is, naturally grounds and relaxes the mind. We are part of nature, returning to it helps relax and calm the nervous system.
2.) Limit screen time and excess stimuli, we all spend far too long looking at screens and have constant stimulation. Take a break, go for a walk with no phone, no music and no excess stimuli. Be present.
3.) Positive self talk, the brain believes whatever we tell it. By catching our negative talk we can change it to positive. Allowing us to cultivate more gratitude and positive outlooks on life, thus improving our mental state.
4.) Exercise, by exercising we get rid of stagnant energy. Even a short walk can naturally calm and regulate the nervous system. Scenic walks are even better for dopamine release, especially if you go on a big hike!
5.) Connect with others, humans are social creatures. Spending time with others, having some fun and laughing is powerful for improving our mental wellbeing. Go for a nice walk, have a coffee, stop worrying and just enjoy yourself with a friend.
*bonus tip* - have some fun, even if it means wrestling and playing with your friends dog!
Start small, priorize your own wellbeing. Get rid of the noise and stimulation and become more present in your daily life.
Life goes by fast, don't get that caught up in life that you forget to live.
