Tips For Mental Wellness

What should you be doing that you are not doing for your mental wellbeing?

It’s a powerful question—and one many of us avoid answering honestly.

Too often, we’re busy checking off tasks and pushing through stress without pausing to assess how we really feel. Mental wellbeing doesn’t just “happen”—it requires conscious, consistent effort. And sometimes, what we’re not doing matters more than what we are.

Here are some often-neglected yet essential habits that support mental wellbeing:

✅ Setting boundaries: You may be overcommitting out of fear of disappointing others. Start saying “no” without guilt—it’s a form of self-respect, not selfishness.

✅ Prioritizing rest (not just sleep): True rest includes quiet time, digital detoxes, and space to just be. Are you giving yourself that grace?

✅ Processing emotions, not suppressing them: Journaling, therapy, or even reflective conversations can help release emotional tension rather than bury it.

✅ Spending time in nature: A 20-minute walk in green space can drastically reduce cortisol and boost mood—but how often do we make time for it?

✅ Asking for help: Whether it’s from a friend, mentor, or mental health professional, reaching out is a strength—not a weakness.

✅ Celebrating small wins: Are you acknowledging your growth, no matter how subtle? Your brain needs encouragement, not just correction.

The truth is, mental wellbeing is proactive care, not just crisis response.

👉 So ask yourself honestly: What’s one thing I could start doing this week to support my mind and mood?
