Try some exercise

We think of exercise as a purely physical thing and it’s not. Consider these: exercise thinking positively, exercise saying no, exercise loving yourself, exercise listening techniques, exercise abdominal breathing and exercise turning off technology. these are all activities that can be “exercised” on a daily basis for mental health.

However, physical exercise should not be discarded and when I say exercise I don’t mean training for the iron man or the comrades. Do something that is within your physical capabilities, for example instead of driving to the store, walk. This can also be used as an opportunity to reflect on your day or to spend time with your spouse or family members. Physical exercise should be done between 3-4 times a week and it does not need to be long, 20 min at a time will do wonders for your mood.
