Tips for maintaining good mental health

Get plenty of sleep

Sleep is important for both our physical and mental health. It helps to regulate the chemicals in our brain that transmit information, which are important in managing our moods and emotions.

Eat well

Eating well is important for our bodies and for our minds. If possible, try to eat a balanced diet. Try to limit caffeine intake, if possible.

Partake in activity and exercise

Activity and exercise can help to maintain good mental health. Exercising can help to eliminate low mood, anxiety, stress and feeling tired. A short walk or an online workout, pilates or yoga video could help with this.

Do things you enjoy

If you enjoy painting or watching TV, then setting aside time to enjoy yourself can be a great thing to do.

Connect with others

Maintain relationships with those you’re close to. Although this may be a little more difficult than usual to do at the moment, doing so via video call can be a useful way of staying in touch with people and a great way of having a catch-up.

Ask for help

If you feel low, stressed or anxious and want some extra support, then speak to your friends, family or contact your GP.
