Consuming a healthy diet, exercising frequently, and getting enough rest isn't just beneficial to our bodies but can also aid in balancing our moods.

Another crucial part to the puzzle managing stress. There are a myriad of ways for stress to take over our lives. It is important to be aware of how we deal with stress. The doctor Dr. Timko suggests meditation.

"Apps like Calm and Headspace have reshaped the conversations around meditation and made it much more accessible," she claims. "And you can benefit from doing it just a few minutes a day."

Why social support is crucial and how to find Comfort

Being able to openly communicate with a parent, sibling or a close person reminds us, both even in stressful moments, and in everyday one, we're never isolated. It can be a huge help in bringing us back to our roots.

However, your support system shouldn't be restricted to family members Doctor. Timko says. Include anything that makes you feel comfortable such as A pet, a favorite podcast that you are glued to and an art journal.

"I'm a big believer in growth through connection," Dr. Timko says. "But we've learned during the pandemic that, short of an interpersonal connection, lots of other things can lift our mood."
