Low days happen, but when sadness lingers it can feel overwhelming. 🌿
Self-care strategies can ease the weight.
🔹Going for a short walk
🔹Limiting alcohol & other substance use
🔹Reaching out to a trusted friend,
🔹Practising grounding techniques that help you stay present and calm. Here are some that you can try:
1. Engage Your Senses: Notice 5 things you see, 4 you touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste.
2. Breathe Deeply: Try box breathing—inhale for 4 seconds, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4.
3. Connect with Your Body: Press your feet into the floor, stretch, or hold a cold object.
4. Focus Your Mind: Count backward from 100, recite a favorite poem, or name cities starting with a letter.
5. Self-Soothing: Listen to calming music, sip a warm drink slowly, or enjoy a comforting scent.
Taking care of your mental health is just as vital as looking after your physical wellbeing.
