   Tips & Tricks to Boost Mental Health

Appeal to your senses:

Does listening to an uplifting song make you feel calm? Does squeezing a stress ball help you feel centered? What about taking a walk in nature and enjoying the sights and sounds of the trees? Everyone responds to sensory input a little differently, so experiment to find what works best for you. Engaging the senses can help reduce stress and tension, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being. It can also provide a distraction from negative thoughts and emotions, and can help to create a more positive and balanced state of mind. Appealing to the senses can be a simple yet effective way to improve mental well-being.

Exercise:

Exercise is a scientifically proven mood booster, decreasing symptoms of both depression and anxiety. It also decreased stress, increases self-esteem and self-confidence, and creates better sleep.

laughter

Take time to laugh:

Hang out with a funny friend, watch a comedy or check out cute videos online. Laughter helps reduce anxiety.

Laughter can boost mental health by releasing endorphins which are natural chemicals in the brain that act as a mood elevator. It can also reduce stress, tension and anxiety, increase social bonding and boost the immune system. Laughing can help shift perspective and promote a more positive outlook on life. 

Work your strengths:

Working on one's strengths can improve mental health by promoting a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. It can also provide a sense of purpose and direction, and increase feelings of competence and self-efficacy. Additionally, focusing on strengths can help to shift attention away from areas of weakness and promote a more positive outlook. Overall, working on one's strengths can contribute to greater overall satisfaction and well-being.

writing

Write it out:

Has something been bothering you? Let it all out. Writing about upsetting experiences can reduce symptoms of depression.
Writing about one's feelings allows for self-reflection and understanding of emotions. It can also serve as a form of emotional release and can help to process and cope with difficult experiences. Additionally, it can provide a sense of control and organization in times of emotional turmoil. Writing can also be a way to identify patterns and triggers that may contribute to emotional distress. Overall, journaling and writing about emotions can be a valuable tool for managing and improving mental well-being.

Take a Personal Enrichment Course:

Here at 情色五月天 we offer a variety of personal enrichment or professional developement non-credited courses through our Continuing Education Department. These courses provide avenues for self-discovery, boosting self-esteem and satisfaction. They offer opportunities for achievement and goal-setting skills. Continuous learning enhances cognitive abilities and social connections, promoting overall happiness and fulfillment. Take the leap and try something new!
