For the last week of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’d like to emphasize the importance of taking care of your mental health for an overall healthy wellbeing.

Your mental health plays a large role in your physical health. Being in a good mental state can make managing your chronic condition easier and even result in better health outcomes.

Luckily, there are simple steps you can take to maintain a healthy mental state. Here are 5 ways to take care of yourself both mentally and physically:

1. Get regular exercise – In addition to keeping you physically healthy, getting exercise can improve your mood and increase mental alertness.

2. Eat a balanced diet – Incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet can have mental benefits ranging from a steadier mood to better focus.

3. Practice relaxation techniques – Meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness exercises can help ease stress and the physical and mental symptoms that come with it.

4. Get a good night’s sleep – Sleep is important for normal daily functioning as well as for improving mood, energy levels, and mental focus.

5. Connect with others – Talking with friends and family can help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety. Know that reaching out to others is a sign of strength.

Your mental health is influenced by many different factors. Tracking your daily activities and experiences can help you better understand what helps you feel your best. With Wave, you can receive insights into how to navigate the ups and downs of your health journey.
