Hey.
Feeling anxious, stressed or in a funk?
You are not alone.
Mental health is real.
Good mental health is important for us to manage day to day stresses, be productive, feel that you can take care of yourself.
Having good mental health may come easy to some, but for others a chore. Whatever your journey, prioritizing your mental health is an important step (high-five for being here!).????????
Self-care (not to be confused with self-indulgence or being selfish), means taking care of you (Number 1!) so you can be healthy, well, and do the things you need to do each day.
Fun fact…????
Google searches for ‘self-care’ has nearly quadrupled since 2018!
So what are some self-care tips when it comes to your mental wellbeing and why is it important?
Well to put it simply – self-care (whatever works for you) – can help to manage the symptoms of many mental health conditions and may also prevent some from developing or getting worse.
It’s important to explore what self-care works for you. Everyone is different (remember: there is only 1 you!) and it’s worth trying out different techniques to test out what you like and don’t like.
