Working on my mental health involves the following:
- healthy, fresh food
- regular exercise
- no alcohol or drugs (none)
- staying on good terms with family and friends
I think counsellors can be helpful if you're in the early stages of a real mental health issue. But once you've learned something like ACT (The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris) they aren't really necessary anymore.
- NoReg 3y agoI like the list you made for yourself!!! Everyone needs that list. Thank you for sharing the ACT and I will check out that book.

- NoReg 3y agoStarting with rest is always a good approach; sometimes, it can help clear your head.
- aramndrt 3y agoI bought a Garmin watch (FR265) last month and it's been great in keeping me on track with my exercise routine. I don't care for its advanced features like 'training readiness' and 'sleep score' – I prefer not to rely on my watch to gauge how I feel for obvious reasons. However, I have customised my watch face to display a daily step counter and a weekly 'exercise minutes' counter [1], which tracks exercise performed at a medium to high heart rate. My target is 10,000 steps a day and 180 minutes of exercise per week. Having those stats available at a glance on my wrist has significantly helped me stay on top of them. I can recommend it! Otherwise, I've disabled all smartwatch features. 8-) [1](https://i.imgur.com/LhJ86u2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/LhJ86u2.jpeg)
