PRACTICAL STRATEGIES
to improve your mental health
World Mental Health Day takes place on Monday, October 10. It’s the perfect opportunity to take steps toward improving your mental health and well-being. Here are some proven strategies to take control of your mental health.
MAINTAIN YOUR SOCIAL
NETWORK. Make time to see loved ones. Call a family member or go out for drinks with a friend. You could also try expanding your network of friends by signing up for a group activity. The sense of belonging and the bonds you create can help improve your mental health.
MOVE YOUR BODY.
Exercise reduces stress, gives you energy and makes you feel good. Try out various activities to find the ones you like and practice them regularly. For example, you can garden, dance, run, do yoga or play frisbee; the possibilities are endless.
GAIN NEW KNOWLEDGE.
Learning promotes selfconfidence and contributes to a sense of well-being. You can register for a course or introduce yourself to hiking, try a new recipe, watch tutorials or subscribe to a magazine on a topic that interests you.
Finally, set aside some “metime” and use it wisely — whether taking a nap or singing aloud.
