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.

- 8 to 9 hours of sleep
- walking 5 to 10 km per week
- napping during the day
- a digital detox for 1 to 2 hours, socializing with my family.
- reading books and less screen
- less social media
Minimalism.
Fewer distractions and emotion-triggering content such as social media and news. Keep your phone on DNS and instead fill your time with activities that give you joy.
I have been a freelancer for 10+ years and now lead a company. So work has always tended to take all my time, making me anxious, sometimes depressed, or lonely.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Swim laps/exercise 2-3 times a week;
2. 15min stretching routines in the morning and before going to bed;
3. Get enough sleep. That's number one for me, actually!
4. Schedule outdoor escapes: woods, hikes, ocean — this helps to see the actual scale of your daily shit;
5. Talk to a new person IRL once a week!
6. Be open and honest to others — this builds relationships. And good relationships are a proxy for a healthier life.
I journal every single day. it is for me the most effective way to process thoughts, become self aware and aware of my environment. I made my own simple journaling app called memoiri for that purpose
@jenniouz I write down things that happen during the day and how I felt. I try to capture situations. at the end of the day I go through what happened and usually ask myself was that how I want it to be or not. If not I try to imagine what should be, what would feel better. that is my approach. How about you?
Privilege happy thoughts
Lower negative ones
Take a stop some time to time
Get bored
Enjoy small things in life

If you're interested in learning about mental health and self-care tips, I can certainly provide information and suggestions. It's important to prioritize self-care activities such as maintaining a balanced lifestyle, practicing mindfulness or meditation, engaging in regular exercise, seeking support from friends or professionals, and pursuing hobbies or activities that bring you joy and relaxation.https://apkcarten.com/tap-titans...
Remember, if you have concerns about your mental health, it's always a good idea to reach out to a healthcare professional for guidance and support.

I prioritize my mental health by practicing self-care through activities such as meditation, yoga, and regular exercise.
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.
