Mental health minutes

Mental Health Minutes are small activities that one can practice throughout their day to promote positive mental health habits. While each activity only takes a minute, the impacts last well beyond.

• Take a minute to close your eyes and rest. Enjoy a moment of quiet or reflect on something that brings you joy.
• Take a minute to reach out to a friend or loved one. Whether it’s a brief text or phone call, connecting with others is a valuable way to give our minds a healthy boost.
• Take a minute to move and groove. Moments of physical activity, such as a short walk, improve mental wellness.
• Take a minute to reflect on three things you are grateful for. Gratitude helps reinforce positive emotions and encourages a healthy mindset.
• Take a minute to take a deep breath. Breathe in and count to three, then breathe out. This simple activity is effective for reducing stress and encouraging relaxation.
