Over the last few weeks, we've had several conversations about taking care of your physical health through nutrition and working out, but this week we're talking about mental health. Mental health is such an important component of overall wellness, and everyone struggles with it from time to time. In this episode, we're sharing our tips for managing and taking care of your mental health when you're feeling down.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• When you're having a bad day, try to get up and do the thing that you know will make you feel good, even if you're not in the mood. Do some exercise, journal your inner thoughts, or go to sleep early to get some extra rest.

• A free way to improve your mood is to stand in the shower and imagine the water washing away your tension, stress, sadness, or whatever emotion is weighing you down in that moment. Bonus points if you have a good cry in the shower!

• If you're having a bad self-image day, write down the things you like about yourself and don't like about yourself at that moment. Of the things you don't like, what's actually true? What's just your perception of yourself, and how can you correct it to be more positive about yourself?
