Every Mind Matters has launched a new campaign that encourages and helps us to ‘find your little big thing’ – these are the little things we can do, which can make a big difference to our mental health
Making time for your mental wellbeing is important – and embedding these little things as part of your routine can help you feel better and more in control.
These little things can include:
-
- Getting physically active – like taking a walk
- Managing your thoughts and feelings with the help of CBT
- Talking to someone you trust
- Getting the most from your sleep – like avoiding screen-time an hour before bed or getting out of bed and doing something simple until you feel tired again
- Getting closer to nature
- Planning something nice to look forward to.
The Every Mind Matters website has lots of NHS-approved tips and advice to help you ‘find your little big thing’. You can also get a free, personalised Mind Plan – a mental health action plan that provides practical tips to help you deal with anxiety and stress, boost your mood, sleep better, and feel more in control:
