Mental health is a widely recognized and extensively discussed subject across numerous organizations, and this week happens to be dedicated to raising awareness about it. I'm curious to know if your company has implemented a mental health policy, as well as what measures you personally take to prioritize your own mental well-being.

I have been a freelancer for 10+ years and now lead a company. So work has always tended to take all my time, making me anxious, sometimes depressed, or lonely. Here's what worked for me: 1. Swim laps/exercise 2-3 times a week; 2. 15min stretching routines in the morning and before going to bed; 3. Get enough sleep. That's number one for me, actually! 4. Schedule outdoor escapes: woods, hikes, ocean — this helps to see the actual scale of your daily shit; 5. Talk to a new person IRL once a week! 6. Be open and honest to others — this builds relationships. And good relationships are a proxy for a healthier life.

For me it's - Meditate - Regulate my screen time (If you're interested check my upcoming launch ;)) - Eat healthy - Workout

I exercise daily and take regular break from work. I personally don't prefer to be workoholic. It ruins your health and family both. Taking some time off from work helps a lot

“Rest is work too” — I remind my team and myself of this often. Energy management is just as important as time management, if not more important. :) Few things I do to take care of my energy and mental health: - start every day with saying 3 gratitudes out loud - no phone in bedroom, so I wake up with no ability to grab my tech - I found the intuition journal on Amazon and it’s fabulous, I’m on my second one and use it most mornings - intentional and hyper aware of developing my “autopilot” aka what my habits are when I’m just going. I became aware of this concept a few years ago and since then have shifted my habits so much that my autopilot now engages in behaviors that serve my mental health instead of destroy it

I journal every single day. it is for me the most effective way to process thoughts, become self aware and aware of my environment. I made my own simple journaling app called memoiri for that purpose

@jenniouz I write down things that happen during the day and how I felt. I try to capture situations. at the end of the day I go through what happened and usually ask myself was that how I want it to be or not. If not I try to imagine what should be, what would feel better. that is my approach. How about you?

@jenniouz exactly why i try to write down significant stuff, and tried to make my app straightforward, open it up and startt writing nothing fancy

Minimalism. Fewer distractions and emotion-triggering content such as social media and news. Keep your phone on DNS and instead fill your time with activities that give you joy.

Mental health matters a ton, especially in today's fast-paced world. At my workplace, we've got this cool mental health policy that includes regular check-ins and flexi-hours to ease the grind. Personally, I'm all about daily walks, some good tunes, and a splash of meditation. Also, I stumbled upon this awesome Lifestyle to the max resource. It's been a game-changer for me. They've got a treasure trove of helpful info, from health tips to nifty product reviews. It's like a secret weapon for improving daily life. Remember, it's the little things that make a big difference!

I prioritize self-care activities that promote mental well-being, such as engaging in regular exercise, getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, and engaging in activities I enjoy.

Every hour I go do cardio and drink tea. Sometimes I read a book so as not to get tired or burn out. It keeps me in good shape and I work calmly.
