🫂TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH🫂

During this time of COVID-19, staying connected is more important now than ever before. Social distancing does not have to mean social isolation from others. We can all stay connected through phone calls, video chats and other creative means. During this month, we hope you’ll find value in the tools, resources and content that mental health organizations are sharing and consider sharing it with others.

This Mental Health Checklist, created by Make It OK — Iowa, is meant to motivate and inspire you this month to consider your own mental health and well-being daily! It includes the suggested activities:

🌺Every Day, I Will🌺
Move my body
Take a screen-time break
State three things I am grateful for (write down or say aloud)
Eat fruits and vegetables
Sleep for 7-9 hours a night

🌺Once Each Week, I Will🌺
Connect virtually with a friend or family member
Plan an outdoor activity, like a picnic, hike or bicycle ride
Set a new goal, like finishing a work, school or home project
Claim a win for the week: it can be big or small. Celebrate with a reward or an act of kindness towards yourself!

🌺Once This Month, I Will🌺
Finish reading a book
Take a one-day break from all social media and news
Try a creative activity
Help someone or complete a community service project

This checklist also encourages you to set goals for activities that are beneficial to your own personal mental health.

Be mindful of signs showing a person is struggling. It’s possible to only see a person a few times a day and be unaware of their inner strife. According to Dr. Walker, unless you know a person well and know what their “normal” is, it can be difficult to see if someone is struggling.
