A large number of people have to battle mental disorders every single day. However, instead of getting the support they need, most people overlook treatments because of the stigma that floats around mental health. Feel better today when you do the following tips:

Relax
Practicing yoga and getting massages can do more than just improve your physical function. Clinical studies indicate that both are beneficial for improving mood and coping with stress. Massages can lower the stress hormone cortisol while increasing the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin. Yoga can increase brain GABA, reduce anxious feelings and improve overall mood.

Learn how to decline
If you try to do more than you can handle, you will only end up frustrated and stressed out. If someone asks you to do something you absolutely can’t do, say no. At the very least, ask for help. And if you can’t do it, explain why kindly but firmly. Source: EverydayHealth
Fulfill your purpose
Figure out what it is important to you in life, and focus on that. This could be your work, your family, volunteering, caregiving, or something else. Spend your time doing what feels meaningful to you. Source: FamilyDoctor
Stay positive
Research shows that how you think about yourself can have a powerful effect on how you feel. When we perceive our self and our life negatively, we can end up viewing experiences in a way that confirms that notion. Instead, practice using words that promote feelings of self-worth and personal power. For example, instead of saying, “I’m such a loser. I won’t get the job because I tanked in the interview,” try, “I didn’t do as well in the interview as I would have liked, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to get the job.” Source: PsychologyToday
Get exposed to sunlight
This is essential for vitamin D production, low levels of which are linked to depression. But even beyond vitamin D, regular safe sun exposure is known to enhance mood and energy through the release of endorphins. Source: Articles.Mercola
