#MentalHealthMonday⁠⁠What's in my mental health toolbox? ⁠⁠I wanted to share what I turn to when I'm struggling, in case it might help you during these overwhelming times.⁠⁠Most of the tools aren't actually in this giant box I'm holding , but rather things I've learned to do over the years that have been incredibly useful during the challenges of 2020.⁠⁠The first two are the most important, and are lifesaving for me: ⁠therapy and medsI will never stop saying this – Please don't be ashamed to get professional help! ⁠⁠Basic healthy lifestyle things: good sleep, a clean diet, exercise, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins⁠⁠My daily #ichoosebeauty practice to notice the beauty in life's little things every day ⁠⁠Coping statements that you see me post here, like "focus on the good," "keep going," and "it's going to be okay"⁠⁠Reframing negative thoughts (a great resource for this is The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook – I've linked to it in my bio)⁠⁠Meditating (I use @InsightTimer)⁠⁠Journaling (I use the prompts in the Finding Hope journal I created, linked in my bio)⁠⁠Resting without feeling guilty (I'm getting better at this!)⁠⁠Keeping things around that make me feel good – inspirational card decks, music, anything lavender… ⁠⁠Do I still struggle? Of course, I do. Mental health is a constant battle with your brain. But these tools help me come out ahead most days. ⁠⁠Want more ideas?
