🌿 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿

“The mind and body are not separate. What affects one, affects the other.” ~Anonymous

Mental and physical health are deeply connected—what impacts one inevitably impacts the other. Did you know that 31% of Americans experience anxiety at some point in their lives, and 1 in 6 adults will face depression? While lifestyle changes alone aren’t a cure, they can be powerful in managing symptoms and supporting overall well-being.

Here are 7 Self-Care Strategies to help manage anxiety and depression:

1️⃣ Prioritize Sleep – Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night.
2️⃣ Stay Active – Daily movement, fresh air, and activities like yoga can lift your mood and ease tension.
3️⃣ Eat Well – Balanced meals with protein, complex carbs, and plenty of veggies can help stabilize mood and energy.
4️⃣ Limit Alcohol – Alcohol can disrupt sleep and worsen symptoms, especially if you’re taking medication.
5️⃣ Practice Meditation – A few minutes daily can reduce stress and bring calmness.
6️⃣ Stay Connected – Engage with family, friends, and your community to avoid isolation.
7️⃣ Face Challenges Head-On – Maintain routines and take on tasks that build confidence and resilience.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as caring for your body.

If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider or explore available support resources.

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.” ~Dan Millman
