    What are your favorite mental health tips?
  • My favourite mental health tip is that life isn't always happy. Don't expect it to be, so don't chase fleeting happiness, rather find things that are meaningful to you and chase those instead.
  • Favorite mental health tip: find a hobby. I did and it’s really helped me connect with others. Which helped my sense of loneliness. Thanks for this video it was really super awesome.
  • @DrAdnan
    I guess I need to leave my room 😂
  • @ncskitty
    Animals are another great tool! I rescued an adorable pit bull in August and as hard as it's been to help her work through her past abuse it's been so rewarding and just as good for me as it has been for her! I rarely have been as proud in my life as I am of her. It's only been 3 months but she's already a totally different dog! She's helped my sleep too and brings me out of getting stuck on my bed in hard moments when she literally gets in my face.
  • "Connect with people" Covid & My social anxiety: Do it. I DARE YOU. :>
  • @Socratica
    Thank you for helping everyone this way, Ali.
  • Psychology student here! In God's time, I will graduate!
  • A healthy body is one that is in good physical, emotional and mental health. Our health is more valuable than anything else we have. It is a secret of a happy man🌷
  • I’m realizing now that a lot of my mental health/imbalanced life came from not having a friend circle that I consistently turn to. And I tried to make up for that with some repetitive behaviors that really didn’t give me what I needed. I guess I’m just trying to figure out what I enjoy now and it’s been a cool process of self-discovery, even better having a Christian therapist!
  • A old friend of mine who is not my friend anymore once told me “whenever you feel depressed/ anxious/ like giving up look at your hands. At the end of the day you do a lot with them, use them throughout the day think about what they have touched” well I can’t remember exactly everything he said but he said something like that. And ever since it’s stayed with me.
  • Thank you so much, I'm 14 and I REALLY want to be a clinical psychologist when I'm older. I'm glad that this channel exists because I'm learning so much!
  • I’d say my favorite tip that I share with my clients, and practice myself, is remembering to laugh. It’s priority for me to watch at least 30 minutes of standup comedy a day. It’s changed my life, and the clients I serve.
  • @maytern
    7:27 Schoolsystem: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.
  • I have been seeing a holistic chiropractor and he has taught me to breathe in a new way and it has really relaxed me.
  • I recently discovered your channel and I am so glad I did! I am doing my Masters in Clinical Psychology and I really enjoy your content. My favourite mental health tips are: - spending time with loved ones - embracing a passion (fantasy for me :D) - healthy lifestyle without being overly restrictive (physical activity, lots of vegetables and fruits) Greetings from Germany :)
  • Fantastic video. Thanks so much for putting this together. It's a major boon for so many individuals. Thanks for sharing!
  • Nice! I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. Thanks for taking the time to collect all of these tips and share them. Some of my favorites that I love using are making art, journaling, going for walks, and processing my feelings with trusted friends.
