Here are 5 small changes I think anyone can make to improve mental wellness:

1. Drink more water - Download a water tracker app and drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day. I’m not a nutritionist but water keeps your system working properly, including your brain.
2. Take breaks from social media - I can’t stress this one enough because I do believe it leads to more stress and wasted time. Micro learning on social media is good, but in balance. Endless scrolling is letting others steer the ship in terms of what goes into your brain.
3. Go for walks - Nothing beats a good walk on a sunny day. Vitamin D and fresh air. I love going for walks! Bonus - go without your phone.
4. Focus on gut health - It’s been said by experts that gut health is the second brain and impacts all aspects of your body. I drink Nutrilite Begin™ Daily GI Primer each morning as well as take an excellent probiotic.
5. Smile - I once heard it is healthy to do smile - ups (like pull - ups) each day to practice getting your happiness going. That’s a joke but when you smile, often times you’ll get one in return. Who doesn’t like to receive a friendly smile?
6. Have a rest day - I like Sundays for a rest day to spend time to reset, refocus and rest for the week ahead.

There you have it. Just a few things I’ve incorporated into my life that have been helpful.
