Keep in mind that our physical health and mental health are connected and impact each other. If we do things like exercising and eating healthy, this can improve our mood and sleep. If we mediate, journal, do some deep breathing and other activities to reduce stress and anxiety, we’ll also feel better physically. Additionally, the little things can have a cumulative positive effect on our health: Taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking further away from the store so you walk more, spending a few minutes getting into a positive mindset when you wake instead of immediately grabbing your phone, and more.

One way is to counter stress and negative thought loops with positive associations and affirmations. Start the day with a positive thought about someone or something you care for deeply. Get yourself in a positive mindset that can build resilience and keep the big picture in perspective. Yes, you have a difficult thing coming up, but there are many valued positive things in your life and things will be ok. Take some time for deep breaths, meditation or positive affirmations to keep your mindset positive.

Dealing with difficult people can create mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, burnout and sleep challenges, and impact couples relationships, your career and more. Setting reasonable boundaries and expectations with difficult people is good for your mental health. One strategy is to determine what you think is reasonable in a given situation and consistently implement it. And by reasonable I mean what would most people think is fair and the right thing to do. Once you set in your mind that reasonable standard, it’s easier to implement in the moment even if it’s emotional, which it likely will be. Remind yourself that when you were calm and thinking rationally, you determined that this course of action was fair and reasonable, so even if the difficult person pushes back, you can calmly and firmly respond.

Pets can help you be more active, both inside and outside the home. Playing with toys inside the home, playing fetch and taking walks outside the home, all contribute to positive physical movement for you. Having a pet can help combat feelings of isolation as it’s more likely you’ll be outside, spending time in nature and possibly interacting with neighbors. Pets can improve your mood just by cracking you up with their silly antics. Take a photo and share your joy with others.
