Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and it’s important to remember to take time for yourself. Mental and emotional health is just as important as physical health, so it’s necessary to find ways to cope with stress. Sometimes it can help to talk about your feelings with someone - either a friend or a professional. Other times it can help to get outside or go for a walk. Doing something creative - like painting or crafting - can also distract the mind from stress and worries. It’s important not to bottle up emotions or ignore psychological distress; instead, take action by identifying what works for you in order to reduce your overall stress levels and enhance your well-being.

I totally understand the importance of taking time out for yourself and addressing your mental and emotional health. It’s definitely not always easy, but it is so important to remember that you are worth spending time on yourself! I like that you mentioned doing something creative as a form of stress relief - it can be really satisfying being able to create something while giving your mind a break. For me, music is always helpful in calming my thoughts and clearing my head. If ever I’m feeling overwhelmed, I also try to focus on simple tasks, even if that means just tidying up around the house or going for a walk outside. And of course, if there’s ever an urgent need, turning to friends or professionals can be incredibly beneficial.
