My anxiety and depression come and go in waves and I sometimes find myself in these lows with no particular reason why. I wanted to share what I do when I have these bad mental health days (or weeks) to take care of myself and put me *first*. I find that when I do this self care routine and maintain these habits, I am more compassionate and easy on myself and I feel better with every little 'self care' thing I check off. I find that my motivation and productivity naturally come back when I feel successful and like I'm being taken care of (that's why it's so important for me to have this self-care checklist I do everyday to prevent myself from spiralling).

It's ok to go through these periods and it's so important to hold space for myself instead of feeling bad, guilty, ashamed, frustrated or disappointed. When the simplest tasks are so hard to do, and when I feel numb or don't really feel anything at all, it's not a fun place to be in but the best thing I can do for me is to take care of myself through it all and know that it isn't forever.

Sometimes the waves crash down harder, and sometimes the waves are serene and peaceful. Either way, I imagine myself on this beautiful beach and try to stay grateful that I'm in the ocean haha. I hope my reset routine, self care tips, and healthy habits for my mental health can help any of you who've been feeling down or a similar way 💛
