“Hold up your cup here is some positive tea that I want to pour out for you”.

 

The flexibility, warmness, and peaceful comfort that the summer month of August brings can be exciting for vacation with family and friends. However, if you are a summer lover, you’d probably feel some panic about it coming to an end. The Autumn season is approaching you, a new schedule, new job, new school or grade level for your children, and it’s a bit overwhelming.

Below are self-care tips that you can use to support your mental health during the transition from Summer to Autumn (Fall).

 

  1. Go Outside

Lifting your mood or spirit and lowering stress are ways going outside is good for your mental health. Nature presents scenes that capture your heart and mind away from the worries of life.

“I go to Nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put together.” –John Burroughs

 

  1. Take Time to Laugh

Positive psychology researchers report that laughter brings a human into a more flourishing life, lowering stress, anxiety, and depression. When you laugh, you take your situation less seriously and feel empowered to problem-solve.

“If Laughter cannot solve your problems, it will definitely DISSOLVE your problems; so that you can think clearly what to do about them.”  – Dr. Madan Kataria

 

  1. Dance

Music and physical movement (dance) can help improve your mood. Dancing reduces levels of cortisol and increases endorphins.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” – Martha Graham

 

  1. Do something with friends and family

Find those that will bring happiness and not add stress to your life. The emotional support provided by a positive social group enhances your psychological well-being.

“Stay close to people who feel like sunlight.” — Unknown

 

  1. Do something with only your children

When you spend time with your children, it reduces you and your child’s depression, anxiety, and other mental illness. Being present with your children builds a strong emotional support that will eventually help you and your children through life’s challenges.

“The best thing to spend on your children is time.” – Arnold Glasow.
