Mental health is a state of mind. With normalized mental well-being, people cope with stressful situations and can realize their potential, study and work, and successfully contribute to the development of society.

The first step is to seek help – through a helpline, a specialist or just an adult. It is important not to be silent about your condition and to allow yourself to receive help. Practical tips for good mental health:

• Be physically active;
• Eat healthy;
• Appreciate yourself and others;
• Talk about your feelings;
• Stay in touch with friends and loved ones;
• Look out for others;
• Learn new skills;
• Do something creative;
• Take breaks;
• Ask for help.

10 practical tips for maintaining good mental health:

1. Regular physical activity: Exercise or simply take a walk in the fresh air. Physical activity helps to reduce stress levels and improve your mood.
2. Healthy food: Have a balanced diet, include vegetables, fruits, whole grains and proteins. Avoid excess sugar intake and fatty foods.
3. Sleep: Get enough sleep (7-9 hours a night). Lack of sleep can negatively affect mood and cognitive function.
4. Stress management: Learn relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing or yoga. This will help to reduce stress levels.
5. Social networks: Keep in touch with friends and family. Social support is important for emotional wellbeing.
6. Goal Setting: Set realistic goals and achieve them step by step. It helps you feel more confident and motivated.
7. Positive thinking: Try to focus on the positive aspects of life and avoid negative thoughts. Keep a gratitude diary by writing down three things you are grateful for each day.
8. Work- life balance: Make time to relax and have fun, while keeping your work-life balance in mind.
9. Helping others: Participate in volunteering programmes or simply help people around you. Helping others can lift your mood and make you feel better.
10. Professional help: If you feel that you can’t cope on your own, don’t hesitate to seek help from a counsellor or psychotherapist.
