Looking for a simple method of increasing your mental health & wellness? Incorporate these 3 habits into your routine!
Depression & anxiety are very common mental health issues in day-to-day living, but in #pandemic they are on another level.
Common Mental Health Problems
A recent Census Bureau survey found that 1/3 Americans are reporting symptoms of depression or anxiety, more than 3x the rate from a similar survey conducted in the first half of 2019.
Because one of the best ways to fight coronavirus is through #socialdistancing we are experiencing high levels of loneliness, which can be deeply harmful to one's mental health, and exacerbate feelings of sadness or depression. How are you taking care of yourself through these challenges? Are you experiencing burnout, anxiety, or depression? Making a conscious effort in self-care is pivotal to our mental health. Remember these three simple habits to increase positive emotions, based on research from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT says that the 3 components to wellness are:
❖ Human Connection
❖ Experiencing pleasure or joy
❖ Mastery or accomplishment of your #goals
