Today is World Mental Health Day, and with that in mind we thought it was important and appropriate to highlight some self-care acts that you should not just participate in today, but every day. Forgetfulness is human nature, so we’ve also come up with some ways that will help you remember these mindfulness acts.
Did you know that cleaning has a positive effect on our mental health by helping us gain a sense of control over our environment? You are a reflection of your mental state. So it’s important to have your act clean. By sticking to a daily hygiene routine every day, you can build better self-awareness, stay healthy, and ward off illnesses. You’ll also have a better social and professional experience. It will boost your confidence and give you a certain je ne sais quoi. Studies show that when someone has poor hygiene, it is directly correlated to their mental health. You can avoid mental health issues by implementing a solid practice in your everyday life. Make this a priority for yourself if you’re lacking in this area. We’re not here to judge; we’re here to help. Remember: practice makes perfect. You’re creating a new habit, so make it your priority. When you get one down, add another habit to incorporate into your routine.
