5 Mental Health Hacks for Owning Your Life

Today is a great day to accept yourself, embrace your life, and make yourself mentally healthy.

  1. Know what you do want. Knowing what you don't want (to let ADHD keep you from advancing, for example) is a good start, but knowing what you do want helps you shape your positive life.
  2. Practice self-care for both physical and mental health. Sleep and nutrition are essential for good mental health and wellbeing. Consistently provide your mind and body with fuel and rest so you can enhance your mental health.
  3. Identify your passions and pursue them. Explore your interests anyway as part of knowing what you want and why you want it.
  4. Act. Mental illnesses and personality disorders can stop us in our tracks, each in its own way. To increase mental health and own your life, act anyway. Know what you want. Identify your passions. Take care of yourself, and take small steps in the direction you want to go.


We'll leave you with once final mental health hack: These hacks can be applied in any order, anytime, anywhere, and in any way that works for you. Today, tomorrow, and forever are great days to accept yourself, embrace your life, and make yourself mentally healthy.
