To try to improve my mental health, I spend time with my family, grandson, helping others, exercising, cooking, baking, reading, or spending time with my two Huskies.

Talking to a therapist and seeing a friend worked wonders for me!!
Not all good yet, but definitely huge leaps. I've also put myself out there to be in more social events. Even though I usually prefer deeper conversation, it's just fun to be around people. Honestly, they don't have to be that great all the time, it's just being around people and talking in a group is really nice :)

I love to take walks and exercise, but lately with this heat and poor air quality it is best to stay indoors 😮💨
I love spending time with my grandkids, they always make me laugh and put a smile on my face.
I do journal here on 7 Cups and have been with AI for the past 8 months

I think pretty important. Its as important as physical health. But unfortunately not as much attention gets to it
I do a gratitude journal daily. I exercise. I try to socialize with people. I meditate. I do my self care apps. I pet my cat. I play my electric keyboard and guitar.
