Give yourself a mental health boost with these four easy actions:
- Think about something good that happened to you today and say it out loud. Extra points for sharing your ‘Good Stuff’ with others.
- Update your phone wallpaper to a photo that makes you smile when you look at it.
- Have a laugh – it’s proven to lower stress levels. And because your body can’t distinguish between ‘fake’ and ‘real’ laughter, pretending to laugh is just as good (and you’ll probably end up laughing for real anyway).
- Write it down. Decades of research has shown that spending a moment each day writing down things we’re grateful for is one of the best things we can do for our mental health.
