Daily Mental Health Boosts September 16, 2022 Thank God It's Friday Friends! I'm lost for words and I don't have a particular topic to write for today. However, I chose to click the app open and greet you at the start of the article. Aha. My mind instantly reminded me of a Facebook post I happen to share years ago. It appeared on my Facebook memories. It's timely and relevant for students and employees. There are eight daily mental health boosts indicated on the posts. These serve as reminders that no matter how busy we get, we should **Sleep is a priority.** No matter how we fantasise about multi-tasking, overtime work and being night owls, sleep remains the basic necessity of the body. I have read somewhere that being productive at night is only an illusion our brain feeds us. It isn't true. The truth is the brain eventually tires and whether we admit it or not, we badly need a night's sleep of eight to ten hours. By then, our neurons should start regenerating, if we refuse to doze off, there's a tendency to suffer diseases shortly. Having a good night's sleep is helpful. It boosts productivity and it dictates the mood we have for the next day. The less amount of sleep we get at night, the grumpier we will be. **Ground Yourself** This is subjective. How do you ground yourself? What does 'grounding oneself' even mean? Stay connected with yourself. Live in the moment. Do the things that reconnect you with your soul. Breath. Adjust your focus. Get a different perspective. **5 Minutes Outside** Run free outside. Get some sun. Feel the air and the heat and the mist. Nature is the best comfort, therapy and relaxation. No, what ifs, no buts. Proven and tested. **Celebrate the Little Wins** Of course, little wins are still victories. Hard work and efforts should be rewarded to be more motivated to work the next time. It's always worth it to note small achievements and humble beginnings. **Water Yourself Like a Pretty Flower** Start romanticizing your life. Live the best life. Strive to get the best. Comfort yourself more and prioritize your feelings, feed your soul, and give in to your craving. Spoil yourself. Get that self-improvement perspective. Struve for excellence. Bloom and don't ever think of withering. **Nourish Your Soul** Don't forget to work on your soul. Reconnect, meditate and reflect. Cling to what is good and striving for the best. Always be in the quest for excellence and put a premium on growth and development. *The six mental health boosts mentioned are from Jay Shetty's website samatea.com* **lead image is from unsplash.com* That's about it, friends. I hope we get to boost our mental health this weekend. Enjoy!

Aww, I love these little healthy reminders! Totally agree with the importance of sleep. These days I need 8hours every night. As for grounding - meditation and keeping bear feet on the ground are also great ways to ground ourselves π
Yes. I'm glad we're on the same page
Almost naman nagagawa ko to ate except to the first one, lately kulang na kulang po ako sa tulog because of acad stuffs tapos ande ko rin pong iniisip hayst.
Just sleep when you can. Wag mo rin pilitin matapos ang acad stuff kung sleepy kana
Very good points to boosts your mental awareness. The good thing is you don't need all to make improvements. Sleep is so important though you need to be charged to make somethings happen. I find being outside is a great help but I spend a little more than 5 minutes though cause to me it does so much for me.
Yeah, 5 minutes is the minimum. It's up to us.
It's been a long while I stayed outside for such minutes but I did it today. After getting all things done, I decided to spend some time with nature outside and the air was different compared to being indoor all the time.
That's good to hear Busayo
Those mentioned above are very essential as we humans, however i m very sad because i barely go to sleep because of my baby moving hehe
Hehehw
But most of all, make aure na naeaapply mo sya sa self mo. Esp sleep, naku ang hirap kapag laging puyat sana bawi sa tulog din kapag may time
True yan. Wishful thinking lang sa akin to haha
Sleep is life talaga hehe. Un kadalasan ang gawain ngayon.
Apir.
