Improving your mental health doesn't usually happen through one big change. And in fact, I would recommend against this. If we make too many changes at once, it can become overwhelming and typically isn't sustainable.
Instead, what I recommend is choosing 1-2 habits to start implementing, giving yourself compassion if you don't get it right away, and keep trying.
Small habits practiced consistently >>> big changes.
Things like spending time outside (hello, spring like weather - we are grateful you are here), slowing down by reminding yourself what is important and what is necessary vs. unnecessary, journaling, and / or connecting with people you trust.
When life gets busy, these are often the first things we stop doing. Taking care of ourselves feels more like a chore and it's the first to go out the window. Which makes sense why we feel more uneasy and stressed... if you're abandoning yourself and your needs -- of course you're going to feel depleted.
The little habits are the things that help us to feel grounded again.
Do yourself a favor and ask yourself the question,
What is something that I used to do, that I enjoyed, that I have been neglecting and/or not taking time for?
Can I do it again? When? How?
Then take the steps to make it happen!
