What do you do to maintain or improve your mental health?

One of the best ways I found since I’m no longer able to run, is to continuously talk to my mental health team and keep the communication line open.

Good Luck Everyone that enters the contest!

Take walks in the woods to clear my mind and degrees when overwhelmed, anxious, or negative energy.

I am an active cyclist and it clears my mind of all stress. I ride road bicycles 60 to 100 miles per week year round. I also compete in the Senior Olympics and have qualified for the National Senior Olympics. Stress goes flying by as I pedal one of my bikes. My 43rd year of cycling.

I need time alone every few days. The world is full of noise and demands. Quiet time alone is rejuvenating for some of us.

There are many types of personalities in this world. I for as long as I can remember I have always been a person that enjoys my space, and being alone. that does not mean that I have never joined in with groups, and it does not mean that I do not have personal and shared friendships. I have several good friends and I am a member of the American Legion. To keep myself occupied and maintain a calm and healthy mindset. I use hobbies. My personal favorites are electronic device building, and also constructing models. And, for example, anyone can start assembling fun, electronic devices, such as, personal alarms, robotic cars, and anything else within your imagination. All types of hobbies have one thing in common, they are ways to keep your mind occupied, and spend your time alone in your own space. Of course, you can always share your hobby, with other people with the same interest as yours online, or in person.
The photo I have shared is an example of one way to have fun with electronics, for under $50. You can build more than 20 electronic devices and learn simple computer programming. Everything you need to get started is in one kit. There are of course, thousands of models that are not expensive that can be built in your own space at home and involve a creative healthy mindset. Maybe this is one way that can help you cope with life and all of the challenges that everyone goes through on a daily basis.
