Mental well-being in general is referred to as "mental health." It comprises your self-esteem, the caliber of your relationships, and your capacity for emotion regulation and problem-solving.

Alison Seponara, a licensed professional counselor and author of the book “The Anxiety Healer’s Guide,” shows the benefits of caring for mental health:

• Improved mood
• Deeper relationships
• Clearer thinking
• Reduced anxiety
• Improved self-esteem and confidence

According to Seponara, taking care of your mental health can also help you manage medical illnesses like heart disease that are made worse by stress.

Everyone can have mental or emotional health issues. These tips can improve your mood, make you more resilient, and help you live more fully.

• Practice gratitude. Being thankful for what you have and expressing appreciation to others can boost your mood and self-esteem. You can start by writing down three things you are grateful for every day or sending a thank-you note to someone who helped you.
• Stay connected. Social support is vital for our mental health, especially during difficult times. Try to maintain regular contact with your friends, family and community members who care about you. You can also join online groups or forums that share your interests or values.
• Exercise regularly. Physical activity can improve your mood, energy and sleep quality. It can also reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling or swimming. You can also try yoga, tai chi or meditation for relaxation and mindfulness.
• Learn something new. Learning new skills or hobbies can stimulate your brain, challenge yourself and increase your self-confidence. You can also gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction from mastering something you enjoy. You can enroll in a course, read a book or watch a tutorial online.
• Seek help when needed. If you are struggling with your mental health, do not hesitate to reach out for professional help. There is no shame in asking for assistance when you need it. You can talk to your doctor, therapist or counselor about your concerns and options. You can also call a helpline or chat with a trained volunteer online.
