If we only do things in times of crisis, we’re missing opportunities to keep our baseline stress and anxiety levels as low as possible so that when difficult times hit, our stress won’t spike as high. Also, if we work on things a little each day, when those difficult times occur, we’ll already have our “mental health toolbox” ready to go to deal with the situation. Do things like take short breaks throughout the workday, some physical activity, periodically take deep breaths coupled with positive affirmations, listen to music, create art, play a music instrument, read, journal, and anything else that you find helpful.

How we communicate with each other is crucial to having a healthy relationship. What we say to each other and how we say it can be the difference between longterm relationships that flourish, and ones that are consistently challenging and some that end. Communication is so key because it covers all areas of the relationship: intimacy, finances, parenting, career choices, home and more. Here’s some tips: Have honest and respectful communication, don’t hold things in and let them build up (That can lead to anger, anxiety, depression, resentment, challenges with sleep and others), give each other time and space to express yourselves, gain insight into your and your partner’s emotional triggers, don’t have important discussions while one or both of you are very upset.
