7 Easy tips for better mental health

As we wrap up mental health awareness month, let’s learn some useful tips we can use all year long to help us find peace in the midst of daily challenges.

1. Start by mentally visualizing your day. At the beginning of each day, regardless of where you are, see your day unfolding peacefully, filled with hope and blessings.
2. Set aside a few minutes to simply play, relax or meditate. It’s important to listen to our body and take regular breaks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Everyone unwinds differently, but set a timer to stay on schedule.
3. Focus on smiling regardless of your state of mind. Studies show that the simple act of smiling can help produce serotonins, known as the “feel-good” hormones. If you’re feeling blue, smiling can help you feel better and put you back on track.
4. Get sunshine and stay hydrated. A multitude of physical and mental health benefits is related to getting sunshine. It feels good to simply spend time in the garden, walk your dog or play outdoors. It is just healthy. Staying hydrated is also critical to good health but often easy to forget. Here are some tips to help you get your H2O.
5. Get plenty of sleep. Deep and restful regular sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle. Staying active during the day helps us sleep better at night, so make sure to include physical activities in your day.
6. Switch to a plant-based lifestyle, which promotes physical and mental health. The foods we eat have an impact on our general wellbeing, including our moods. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety.
7. Supplement with StemFoods Holistics formulas. Along with a plant-based diet, StemFoods Holistics formulas can help improve mental well-being. Our formulas contain powerful, natural ingredients known to reduce depression and anxiety, as well as increase energy.
