Feeling Blah? Here Are Some Mental Health Tips To Get You By

It is common to feel down during college years. The pressuring academic and social obligations of succeeding in your exams, handing essays on time, attending lectures and seminars, spending enough time with friends and family, can often be daunting. And if you happen to live in London, the weather does not really help. However, the opportunity of accessing information instantly online allows for us to learn how to take care of ourselves, especially when the stigma of discussing mental health issues is gradually disappearing. Therefore, if you’ve been feeling blah lately, here are some mental health tips that will get you by!

1. Eat Right

This is the most important tip when it comes to health. Your diet should always include plenty of vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious foods to boost your energy levels and help you get through the day feeling energized.

2. Get Enough Sleep

Getting enough is important! In your undergraduate study years, sleeping well can often be difficult to reach, as stress and anxiety can often get high during this time of your life. However, make sure that you’re getting at least 7 hours of sleep every day in order to be able to fully concentrate on your daily activities. Sacrificing sleep is not worth it. Plan ahead.

3. Plan a Getaway Weekend

It is well-documented that traveling is important for a healthy lifestyle. Travel allows you to learn more about other cultures and mentalities but also inspires you to work hard and accomplish your goals.

Wake up in the morning and start your day with a positive intention. Tell yourself what you want to do during the day and things you want to get accomplished. In this way, you will develop self-confidence and learn how to become self-reliant. Some useful positive affirmations are :

  • “I am confident”
  • “I give and receive love”
  • “Today is my day!”
  • “I am deserving of love”
  • “I forgive everything and everyone who’s caused me emotional pain”
  • “I believe in myself because I am everything I need to be”

5. Write Down Your Thoughts

Writing can be a therapeutic way to express yourself. It will not only help you with getting over your frustrations but also keep track of your thoughts and feelings.
