What practices or habits do you find most helpful in maintaining your mental well-being?
Going for a nature walk once a day!
1. Regular exercise: Incorporating physical activity into my routine helps me manage stress and boost my mood. 2. Mindfulness and meditation: Taking time to practice mindfulness and meditation techniques helps me stay present and calm. 3. Healthy work-life balance: Setting boundaries and prioritizing time for activities outside of work ensures I recharge and maintain perspective. 4. Seeking support: Talking to friends, family, or a therapist when needed provides invaluable support and perspective.
Meditation, reading, networking
1. Self-reflection 2. Meditation 3. Some detox time from social media, phone, computer (trying this every Sunday!) 4. Spending quality time in nature (long walks, hikes) 5. Connecting with animals 6. Quality food (yes, it can help with mental health!) 7. Having 8-8.5 hours of sleep personal requirement) is a must and priority! 8. Do something that brings you joy (favorite activity, guilty but healthy pleasures, positive movies/music) 9. Have fun - do things that make you laugh. Feeling like a kid again! 10. Saying “no” more (prioritizing self) 11. Nurturing important relationships with friends and family (relationships that are “good” for us) 12. Exercising! If gym is boring, engage in fun activity like dancing, playing sports, trekking, swimming, rock climbing, etc 13. Open communication (never hold things inside for too long) 14. Taking positive life decisions that can improve ones life (e.g. moving to a new place, change a career, learning new skills) 15. Taking breaks, naps without a guilt. And of course, there are many more things we can do, but I listed the ones that help me personally 💗
Well, having hackers claim copyright to photos you’ve posted on Facebook 10 + year previously on a daily basis without any proof then Meta disabling and deleting your 15 year old page, with conversations of friends who have since died and losing a public arboretum group with over 300k members doesn’t make for good mental wellbeing…..will Meta fix it? Or even bother to respond? Patiently waiting……
I did have a habit of doing Facebook before bed...however Facebook gave a hacker a code to get into my account and they hacked in and linked it to an Instragram account....I have never had Instagram....Facebook then disabled the account and nothing I tried worked and no way to contact Facebook. I lost years of memories and photos....and to top it off my business page was attached. I lost years of followers and contacts....costing me thousands of dollars. I have an appointment with my Congress man in 2 months and have everthing screen shot and documented. Meta sucks!!!!

I used to believe mental health comes from a healthy lifestyle, food, reading and especially meditation but now, I feel there may be an easier hack and which is just to help someone. And if not just smile. 😊 And if not then sleep. 💤 and if not then Surrender.
