WAYS TO BOOST YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN 2022~

 

1. Start your day with sunshine -  Rise and shine! Firstly, when i wake up in the morning around 8-9am, I'll check my handphone notifcations and laze in bed for around 10-15 minutes. Then wash my face and brush my teeth and go about my beauty routine... Then I will prepare breakfast(coffee and toast). After taking my medications, I will do some yoga at home outside at the patio and I'm ready for the day! Get set and go!
2. Keep a steady sleep schedule - I like to stick to a sleep schedule. I usually sleep at 8-9pm at night. I've been sticking to this sleep routine for a few months now. I will wash my face and brush my teeth, go about my beauty routine and get ready for bed. I will lie on the bed and check my phone. I will spray some pillow mist, light a scented candle and take some melatonin pills to get to sleep... I will also drink some hot lemon honey or warm milk. If I still can't get to sleep, I will put on some meditation and soothing music and lights off at 9pm. Then I will wake up next day at 8-9am in the morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!
3. Keep virtually connected - I will scroll through my facebook and instagram feed everyday for 30 minutes... And I'll chat with my friends and family through WhatsApp and Line everyday. I will also connect with my followers on instagram and twitter now and then to stay updated with the world.
4. Keep healthy snacks and drinks on hand - Always keep fruits and biscuits by your side while working from home... You can also keep herbal tea and H20 by your side to keep yourself hydrated.
5. Consider supplementing with Vitamin D - Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes viatmins D-1,D-2 and D-3. Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight. You can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases. Vitamin D fights disease, reduces depression and boosts weight loss.
