In the lead up to Breakthrough Community Football Round on June 22, here’s five tips for helping to keep ourselves emotionally healthy:
1. Take care of you | Eat, sleep and be active. We don’t often think about how important these basic activities are for our mental health – but they are critical.
2. Check in and get check-ups | We get check-ups for our physical health. We even take our cars in for tune-ups. It’s time to take responsibility and get check-ups for our emotional well-being too. Talk with your doctor, a counsellor, and your family and friends to make sure you – and those you love – are doing well emotionally.
3. Engage and connect wisely | Pay attention to your relationships. We can’t be healthy if our relationships are not.
4. Relax | Learn ways to reduce the stress that we all face – and practice what works for you.
5. Know the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering | The Five Signs are: change in personality, agitation, withdrawal, decline in personal care, and hopelessness. Someone may exhibit one or more signs. If you see them in someone you love, reach out, connect, and offer to help.
