Everybody has been hit by pandemic in a way or other. Please spread positivity and boost the good emotion of others. Motivate the people around you specially the children and youngsters. Good mental health of the people is very important right now. But this is all start with you. If you want to be the support for the others, your mental health should be the priority.

💌3. BEING MINDFUL
Applying mindfulness when engaging in activities is a useful way to calm your mind and stay focused on the present moment. Being mindful means being aware of your thoughts, emotions, and how you're feeling both physically and mentally. It means being aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Remember there is no “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in any moment.
💌4. EXERCISING REGULARLY
Being active and engaging in regular exercise is a great way to boost mood and also reduce anxiety and stress. Exercise is the most powerful meditation for not only for your mental health but for your physical health. Try to go out for a jogging, walking or cycling at least once a week to boost your mental and physical stamina. Exercise regularly at a moderate or vigorous level can improve your mental health. Running also improves your memory and ability to learn. Exercise outside has other benefits, like lessening feelings of loneliness and isolation. Try once and you'll never regret!
💌5. SELF CARE
Scheduling time into your week where you can engage in activities that provide you with a sense of calm for your mind and body is important for physical/mental health. There are 8 main areas of self-care: physical, psychological, emotional, social, professional, environmental, spiritual, and financial. Movement of the body, health, nutrition, sleep and resting needs. Priorities your needs. What you love. Take a break and create a "me time" every week for yourself. Find a specific time for you to do it every week.
These are the activities you can do indoors:
1. Read or listen to a book.
2. Look through photos or scrapbook.
3. Set up a video call with loved ones.
4. Practice a hobby.
6. Take an online class.
7. Exercise or focus on fitness.
8. Spend time outside.
9. Engage your spirituality
Here's some another tips I found online:
💌6. HELPING OTHERS
Helping others can provide you with a sense of pride, achievement and accomplishment. Evidence shows that helping others can also benefit our own mental health and wellbeing. Laboratory-based experiments also have shown that providing support can help individuals cope with stress, increasing their experiences of positive emotion. For example, it can reduce stress as well as improve mood, self-esteem and happiness. It may end up helping you feel just a little bit better. I believe when you unable to smile because of the bad day but when you see a smile from the people you help they can help to boost your mood better. ☺️
💌7. CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE
Whether it is going for a coffee with a friend, or spending quality time with family, connecting with others regularly can boost confidence and reduce anxiety. Yes! Good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing. Connecting with others is a sense of being open and available to another person, even as you feel they are open and available to you. Other ingredients of human connection are empathy and compassion where we feel goodwill to the person we are connecting with. This is why stressed people who have adequate levels of social support receive an oxytocin boost which helps them feel less anxious, more confident in their ability to cope, and more drawn to other people (thus perpetuating the positive cycle of social support). Evidence shows that connecting with others and forming good relationships with family, friends and the wider community are important for mental wellbeing. Building stronger, broader social connections in your life can increase your feelings of happiness and self-worth.
💌8. JOURNALING
Writing down thoughts and worries in a journal is a great way to understand what is going in your mind and a useful technique for understanding triggers. Journaling helps control your symptoms and improve your mood by: Helping you prioritize problems, fears, and concerns. Tracking any symptoms day-to-day so that you can recognize triggers and learn ways to better control them. Providing an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts.
These are the journaling activities for you to try and feel the difference.
1. Talk About Your Day.
2. Identify Things You're Grateful For.
3. Write a List of Your Coping Mechanisms.
4. Describe a Goal.
5. Write About How Different You Were 5 Years Ago.
6. Write a Letter to Your Body.
7. List and Describe Your Emotions.
8. Write About How You'd Describe Yourself to a Stranger.
Don't let the others behaviors destroy your inner peace. Sometime your mental health is the biggest priority of yours to encourage breath inside & settled down of your head storm is the main key factor to boost in positive direction.
For me, especially during the 2021 and 2020 part of the pandemic, doing a blog was a boost to my mental health. Connecting with people online and volunteering helped me stay grounded.
Thanks for yourself because reading this blog and planning something different for yourself today.
