Mental Wellness Activities

A lot of activities can promote our mental health, especially when practiced regularly. 

Journaling

Engaging in a Hobby

Hobbies can be anything you enjoy doing, such as:

  • Cooking
  • Playing video games
  • Exercising
  • Reading
  • Listening to music

Coloring/Drawing

Seeking Support from Others

Talking to someone else can help us feel more connected and give us a chance to "release" things we may have been "bottling up." Sometimes, just being in the presence of other people can help too, such as sitting in a busy coffee shop or walking around a crowded mall.
