We all know how important it is to maintain our physical health. But most of us don’t pay enough attention to our mental health — especially considering that your mental health can profoundly affect your physical health.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, below are 5 ways to nourish your emotional well-being.
- Eat mood-boosting foods. You may feel like that cupcake will make you happy, but research shows fruits and veggies are the real mood boosters.
- Connect with others. Having strong social ties helps you live longer, regardless of how much you exercise or weigh.
- Be grateful. Daily gratitude journaling has been proven to increase happiness.
- Set a goal. Experience the satisfaction of setting and reaching a goal, no matter how small.
- Give back. There’s nothing like serving others to take focus off your own troubles.
