I have a checklist I use to try and keep my mental health strong. The idea isn’t that you get a perfect score on this checklist, but that you ask yourself “what’s the easiest way to improve my score in this checklist at the moment?”
- Did you get a good night's sleep last night?
- Do you see your friends often enough?
- Do you have any enjoyable hobbies?
- Do you exercise or get moving every day?
- Do you have close, enjoyable relationships?
- Do you avoid abusing substances like alcohol or other drugs?
- Do you relax and take slow out breaths? (Or meditate)
- Do you do things for other people?
- Do you have any awesome pets?

Good luck. Sorry I’m not a professional.
