World Mental Health Day is today and this’ll mean something different to all of us. Nowadays we live in a society that brings on many emotional and physical pressures. Our bodies are under more stress than ever before.

I like to think that we can make simple and proactive steps in our lives, in order to look after our mental wellbeing:

Being out in nature. Even just for a short walk. Having lunch at a park bench. Looking out of a window and gazing at a tree.

Reflecting on what we can be grateful for. Even the smallest of wins. Whether it’s getting up and showering as a new mother, creating a homecooked meal for yourself or connecting to a neighbour in the new area you’ve just moved to.
Making goals. Aiming for something to achieve, or trying something new. Doing something you love, just for you.
Getting adequate nutrition: protein, omega 3 and vitamin D3 especially.
Asking for help. If you are struggling, asking for help from a friend, family member, doctor or charity. We are all human and there are many who will listen to you and help you when you need it.
