Make time for you.

"People are often told to check in with others when they notice someone  struggling. "Just reach out" we say. But what about reaching in? Mental  health experts say everyone should perform regular mental health checks  to assess their own well-being. There's a process for determining if you  are OK, and it's not unlike what you would do if you were concerned  about someone you love.

It  can be hard to listen to what our brains are telling us when we're  working, caring for others or distracted. Wright says to do a mental  health check, you need quiet.

"We're so used to  multi-tasking that we don't really give ourselves space to sit down and  reflect,"  "Scheduling that time for yourself is going to be  an important component."
