Want to know something that can impact your productivity, relationships, sleep, energy level, and overall health? 

It’s your mind and your mood. 

Today is #worldmentalhealthday, so let’s chat about some simple ways to support your mental and emotional health EVERY day. 

1️⃣ Start your day with sun on your face. Getting outside even briefly each morning signals your body to fall into a healthy daily rhythm. 

2️⃣ Take one step at a time. When things feel overwhelming, just take the first step. Most things are more about the journey than the destination. 

3️⃣ Get off the grid. Leave your phone hidden in a secure spot and give yourself a break from the urgency to respond. 

4️⃣ Do some coloring. It can be drawing, working with clay, or writing in a journal—anything that works to relax your mind. 

5️⃣ Sip mindfully. Take a moment to breathe and pay attention when sipping your morning coffee, a glass or water, or a cup of tea.

6️⃣ Take a breathing break. Feeling tense at work or the computer? Take a break for a few deep breaths. 

7️⃣ Give your pets some attention. Petting a furry friend might be just the therapy you need. 

8️⃣ Write a note to a friend. You don’t need any specific reason to reach out with a note of friendship or gratitude. 

9️⃣ Dance and move. Getting up for a bathroom break? Dance your way there to loosen up your body and mind. 
🔟 Plan something. Set up a date with your partner or a weekend getaway. Having something to look forward to can do wonders for your mood.
