Self-care is very important, but especially when you have mental health struggles. As someone who lives with anxiety and depression, these are my top 10 self-care tips for mental health!

1. Rest

(get enough sleep and take a full rest day each week)

 

2. Speak positive truth to yourself throughout the day 

 

3. Get the proper nutrients

(including water and probiotics)

 

4. Get out in the sun to get some much needed Vitamin D

 

5. Move your body some every day

 

6. Journal

(write, draw, use magazine pictures, etc.)

 

7. Do things you enjoy often

 

8. Spend time with people who uplift and encourage you

 

9. Make a list of things you are grateful for

 

10. Listen to music

 

Bonus self-care tip:

11. Build a relationship with God through reading the Bible, worship, prayer, and church
