This is great to hear, and we want you to keep feeling this way! Self-care is important to your well-being by helping you replenish your energy, recharge your spirit, and deal with stress effectively. Take a look at the guidelines below to keep you on this path:
Sleep
Sleep helps to regulate the chemicals in your brain that transmit information and manage your moods and emotions. If we don't get enough sleep, we can start to feel depressed or anxious.
Physical activity
Physical activity is essential in maintaining good mental health. Being active not only gives you a sense of achievement, but it also boosts the chemicals in your brain that help elevate your mood. You don't need to run a marathon or play 90 minutes of football to reap the benefits; a short walk or some form of gentle activity will do the trick.
Eating well
Regular, well-balanced meals give you fuel to stay strong and focused.
media consumption
Some activity is necessary but take steps to limit your exposure to troubling news and social media posts that provoke anxiety, anger, or fear.
close connections
Try to maintain positive relationships with friends and loved ones.
Get outside
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin for our bodies and our brains. Try to go out in the sun when you can, but make sure you keep your skin and eyes safe. 30 minutes to two hours of sunlight a day is ideal.
