Call ‘your person’ on the phone more often
Maybe for you, that means calling your parents to check in and get an instant pep talk or maybe it’s your best friend from school. Or maybe it’s just a friend down the street you don’t see enough because of your busy schedule.

It doesn’t even have to be a long phone call, just say hi when you have a free five minutes so your day is a little brighter. Try tracking your moods and habits to find the little things that make you feel better and worse.

When your life and emotions feel so out of control or chaotic, there is something immensely therapeutic about organising it into a systematic structure like a bullet journal.

Commit to a work-life balance
Leave on time, don’t check your email past a certain point at night, and in general, don’t think about your work responsibilities at home, and vice versa. Doing your best in each place, not feeling guilty about what you’re not doing.

Put your phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’ at night
There is nothing going on between midnight and seven AM that can’t wait ’til you wake up. You’ll sleep better and your mind will thank you, because lack of sleep can seriously magnify feelings of unhappiness or depression and anxiety.

Also try using that mute, block, and unfriend button. Because we have enough to deal with without annoying, anger-inducing, and uninvited comments from people on social media.

Laugh
Watch a comedy in your downtime. Because laughter is good for the soul.
