It's mental health awareness week! How do you take care of your mental health?

Mental health is a widely recognized and extensively discussed subject across numerous organizations, and this week happens to be dedicated to raising awareness about it. I'm curious to know if your company has implemented a mental health policy, as well as what measures you personally take to prioritize your own mental well-being.

I'd love to see more companies adopt policy or scheduled times that promote mental health, but in the absence of that, always remember to look after yourself too. Getting a good night's sleep is so important. Being able to step back and take a breather. Both so much easier said than done for different reasons, but when you're not getting rest and staying too close to stressors, it'll certainly be felt! Forced positivity IMO doesn't work for everyone; for some it might feel like brushing off concerns or worse, mocking someone for feeling burdened about something. If just being bright and bubbly isn't your thing though, like it isn't quite mine, having a good outlet for that energy is important.

2 most important things are: - Get enough sleep: Sleep is important for your mental well-being. Try to establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a calm environment to promote quality sleep. - Eat well and stay active: A healthy diet and regular exercise can boost your mood and energy levels.

@jamesky1 These are 100% true. They're also easier said then done.
Elias Fares

@between_team it's simple, not easy 🤓
David Allworthy
@jamesky1 100% agree. Getting regular, quality sleep is a super power. Plus eating a healthy diet (not too much sugar) and regular exercise. With these 3 things you can run any company and build any product you like!

Would be great to see companies take into consideration your condition. For me I try to be constant with my exercise, eat right, and get lots of sleep. Also, I make sure everyone knows what to do if things get out of control (never hurts to plan ahead and get support from those around).

- Eliminate emotional vampires from your life. - Find your tribe where you feel truly connected and in a judgment-free zone. - Set boundaries. - Do the boring stuff that brings innate joy out of you. - Simplify life.

Go for a walk in the middle of the day :)

I personally like to take long walks while blasting 90s pop music to clear my head. As for my company, we have weekly team check-ins where we can openly discuss any challenges we're facing. It's important to prioritize mental health, especially during these times

Minimum one short walk a day and some calisthenics.

For me it's - Meditate - Regulate my screen time (If you're interested check my upcoming launch ;)) - Eat healthy - Workout

Alright, my friend, let's talk mental health! Here's how I roll when it comes to self-care: Mindful me-time: I carve out moments for myself, whether it's a morning meditation, an evening stroll, or simply chilling with a good book. Gotta nurture that inner peace, ya know? Sweat it out: Exercise is my go-to stress buster. A solid workout sesh gets those endorphins flowing and clears my mind. Plus, it keeps the body in shape, so it's a win-win. Social support: Surrounding myself with positive peeps who lift me up is key. We all need that squad that's got our backs, right?
