5 THINGS I DID THAT HELPED IMPROVE MY MENTAL HEALTH

Back then, I never really knew how important Mental Health was.

I had always chosen to focus only on my physical health. I thought that as long as I was physically healthy to get up every day then I was perfectly okay.

But I was completely wrong.

And I didn’t realize it until one day I woke up and found myself completely trapped in the pit of depression.

I was so certain that I was fine, that though I was under a lot of stress – I was okay.

But I wasn’t – for a long time I haven’t been okay. But I made a mistake of choosing to ignore it and keeping all my emotions bottled up – thinking that they will all just go away.

It consumed me. It consumed me until I finally broke down.

And experiencing those dark days, where depression is eating me alive became my eye-opener.

I realized that I carried so much pain in my heart and instead of facing them, talking about them or even doing something about it, I ran from them.

I hid from it and I just ignored all of them. I took my emotional well being for granted and I didn’t want to make that same mistake again.

So, I vowed to myself to take small steps every day that’ll help improve my mental health.

Though some of these steps may seem small and insignificant, it definitely made a huge difference.

That’s why I wanted to share these with you too, in the hopes that it will do the same for you!

Here are 5 Things I do that help Improve my Mental Health.

Practice and Embrace Gratitude

There are times where I find myself waking up to dark days, days where all I can do is lie in bed.

In the midst of those dark days, I found myself in awe of the love, support, and patience that I received from the people closest to me.

That helps me fight. That pushes me to continue the battle. And I’ll forever be grateful for that.

Now, I always try to make it a habit to identify and find something to be grateful for.

Regardless of how small or insignificant they may seem – as long as it helps you bring yourself back to the light.

Take the time to identify what those things are every day. I know that there are days when you may need to look extra hard just to find it, but it’s there, and it is worth finding!
