Mental Health Challenge

(This challenge can be completed however many times as needed!)

Day 1: Spend some one on one time with you. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. Just do it. Whether it’s playing a game, sitting outside, reading, writing, breathing, bathing, walking or facials.

Day 2: Step outside, close your eyes and just breathe.

Day 3: Stay Hydrated. Drink half your body weight in water today. 140lbs means 70 ounces of water.

Day 4: Eat a balanced meal. You usually eat once a day? Try adding one more meal to your day and make it a little fun or snacky. Cut up a sandwich into 4 squares and eat it alongside some fruit. Keep it balanced with proteins, carbs and fat.

Day 5: Stretch as soon as you get up even if you’re still lying down.

Day 6: Write down a little bit about yourself. What you’ve been through, what you’ve overcome. Write down what you love about yourself or what you could work on.

Day 7: Show gratitude to yourself or someone else.

Day 8: Sleep 7-8 hours. No more. No less.

Day 9: Set some goals and priorities. (Example: write up 8 blogs this week.)

Day 10: Surround yourself with good people. Someone who makes your soul feel good. It’s your day to laugh. Facetime and phone calls count also.

Day 11: Meditate. Just simply sit or lie down in a quiet room. Close your eyes and breathe. Calm your mind. (Youtube a meditation if needed)

Day 12: Focus on positivity. Choose to be happy today no matter how hard it may get. Learn patience while in traffic. Smile when you pass someone. Give someone else encouraging words.

Day 13: Try a cold shower or bath. Use an ice roller on your face. Submerge your head into ice water.

Day 14: Congratulate yourself for doing something for you.
