Mental Wellbeing
Tips for maintaining good mental health:
- Get fresh air when you can
- Make a list of activities that make you happy and try to do one a day
- Talk to others - not just through messaging
- Set sensible limits on exposure to news/ social media/ tech time
- Exercise - even if only for 10 mins a day
- If you're spending a lot of time with others, make some time to be alone
- Do a good deed for someone
- Be realistic - it will be difficult at times - tell someone how you are feeling
- Share positive photos/ pictures/ messages that trigger positive memories
