Call a friend or family member rather than sending a text
Get my Happy Playlist on - it helps to motivate me when I have been putting something off
Having photos out where I can see them - reminders of happy memories and the people I love really makes me smile 😊

Not seeing them in person is difficult, but knowing they are at the other end of the phone is a blessing.
Fresh Air - a quick 20 minute walk at lunch time with my doggies clears my mind and keeps me focused :)

What keeps me mentally healthy is having a good morning routine... waking up, checking the 'news' (social media), making a coffee, going for a run, having a shower, having a tea, texting a friend and setting up my desk for work). I'm still figuring out a bedtime routine but just in trying, i know I'm making steps every day towards building positive mental health. ]]> 2021-02-16 16:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/clairenelson123/ckfiinwi18ydzw3u/wish/1207593904 A cuddle https://padlet.com/clairenelson123/ckfiinwi18ydzw3u/wish/1264928398 Do not underestimate the feelings of warmth, security and calm you get from a hug. ]]> 2021-03-03 17:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/clairenelson123/ckfiinwi18ydzw3u/wish/1264928398 Walking my 2 dogs every morning is definitely the most important way for me to stay mentally healthy. I love being outdoors and seeing nature in all it's glory, no matter the weather. Staying in touch with friends with a weekly Zoom quiz and blether is fantastic and always a great laugh. If I'm feeling my mental health dipping I listen to good music, watch a favourite comedian or something that gives me a lift. Most importantly, getting to bed at a good time (before midnight) and getting a decent sleep always helps me. https://padlet.com/clairenelson123/ckfiinwi18ydzw3u/wish/1268440096 2021-03-04 11:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clairenelson123/ckfiinwi18ydzw3u/wish/1268440096
