Simple ways students can enhance their mental state
One of the ways you can boost your mood is by setting up a relaxing space and journaling.
While this time may be challenging academically and socially, it is important for students to keep their mental health in check. All the negativity going on in the world currently can be depressing and stir up anxieties. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects, you can use your free time at home to focus on improving your mental state. Read the slideshow for simple ways on how you can take care of yourself.
PRACTICE HEALTHY HABITS: Treating your body right has a major impact on not only your physical health, but also your mental health. Being mindful about fueling your body with the nutrition it needs, rather than filling up on caffeinated drinks and processed foods. This can help you become more emotionally stable. Studies have actually shown “that healthy diets can help with symptoms of depression and anxiety” (Aetna.com). Staying hydrated is also essential for brain function and energy. Practicing healthy habits does not come easily, but with perseverance, your physical health and mood will improve.
