Seems simple but there is research showing that having a positive attitude can help improve our mental health. This is something you may need to practice at first. \u00a0Start by recognizing when you are speaking negatively to yourself. If you wouldn\u2019t say it to someone else, then don\u2019t say it to yourself! Another way to practice is to use positive self-affirmation. An example is \u201cI am deserving of happiness, love and respect.\u201d You can either write these words on a piece of paper and keep in your home where you will see it or simply repeat to yourself when you are having a hard time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Move your body! It can sometimes feel difficult to get active when you\u2019re not feeling your best mentally, however exercise does have the power to boost our mood. Focus on joyful movement such as walking or hiking in nature, stretching or practising yoga, or dancing to your favourite music.
