• Schedule positive activities. Do something you enjoy every day – even if you don´t feel motivated.
• If they feel too difficult or overwhelming, break down your problems into smaller parts.
• Focus on everything you have accomplished, rather than worrying about what you haven´t.
• Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend.
• Healthy eating habits, enough sleep, and regular physical activity, are all crucial for good mental health.
• If you feel weak and depressed, some exercise and fresh air will often help.
• The use of alcohol and drugs may intensify and trigger mental health issues.
