Mental health is just as important as physical health. Simple activities can go a long way in protecting your mental health, such as: Connecting with nature, prioritizing exercise, eating nutritious foods, getting proper sleep, planning events to look forward to, learning how to manage emotions, talking to someone you trust for support. Even healthy mental habits can’t prevent all mental health challenges.
