Self-care/ Mental Health tips — Part 1

1. Create a self-care routine with motivation —

By giving yourself some type of reward

to wash your face, brush your teeth and

shower, taking care of your body, such as only watching your favorite tv show afterwards or getting a scoop of icecream or two, will feel a bit easier to accomplish the tasks that seem simple but can be terribly hard, especially if you suffer from depression. I've learned that combining things into one task also makes it easier, such as once you get in the shower, do everything. Wash your face, brush your teeth, shave, all in the shower. It makes

 self-care so much easier. 

2. Keep your room clean — 

I know it sounds too basic and I also know how hard this is but trust me this contributes to as much as 65% to your mood. I’m absolutely awful at it, even in the summer but it really makes the biggest difference. Coming home to a mess when your life is already stressful and messy enough just makes things worse. I know when i have a clean space I'm way more productive and at peace with my situation.

3. Take a break from social media —

Just doing this every once in awhile makes the hugest difference. Social media is a wonderful world but it’s easy to get caught up in how everyone is doing things without you or having more fun or how someone’s prettier or whatever. It's not worth it. I've learned that just deleting the apps for even a few hours can make my mental state 10x better. It's important to realize that while people are out doing things all the time, you can never be as fun as all the 162 people you follow combined.
