As our well-being takes centre stage this World Mental Health Day, we remind ourselves of this essential but often-neglected fact

Nurturing our mental health should take priority, as it affects our everyday lives and also determines how we handle stress. Mental health includes your emotions as well as your psychological and social well-being.

Just as we routinely check our physical health, its equally as important to practice self-care as it not only reduces anxiety and stress and minimises frustration, but also improves concentration, and increases happiness and energy levels.

Make time for your mental health with these 12 activities 1. Do a daily mood check

Take a moment every day to filter out the external and reflect on your emotional state. Consider how youre feeling at that very moment and what events or thoughts might be influencing your current mood. Evaluate whether what youre feeling is typical for you or a bit unfamiliar.

As you continue to do this every day, this simple practice will help increase your self-awareness and emotional patterns, making it easier for you to identify any concerning mood changes, should they occur.
