What’s something you do to prioritize your mental health?

I try and get plenty of sleep and stay physically fit for my age.

Go on regular dates with my spouse. Have family fun night at least once a week. Workout when possible or take a walk. Don’t feel guilty about taking a 30 minute nap when I’m feeling stressed.

i am a 74 yr old vietnam combat solder and i spend most of my time working in my shop doing wood work when i feel like doing it.i am not a couch potato and i don't like staying in the house,you will get into trouble with spouse so i stay busy.being a disabled vet i have lots of problems but stop crying and do something constructive for yourself. thanks,ron

Make sure and keep (or get) contact with people who will guide you to good things, prayer, Bible study, worship, mediation with the Lord: whatever you call listening to His voice. I feel for many military types who are not very much believers for most part. Its so cleansing, calming, relieving, joyful, and peaceful to give your worries, cares, and striving to the Lord, and receive His overflowing love. He loves you, is for you, and will not leave you, no never.

Going to small group therapy to help with mental well being and dealing with PTSD.

I always alow myself "Me Time" so that I can reflect on what makes me special and makes me who I am. I use this time to focus on my mental health and take deep breaths and telling myself that I am accomplished and have a great life, every day I can open my eyes and see the sky I am having a good day.

I watch my grand kids and work my ancestry tree daily

As crazy this may sound I actually listen to myself when my brains says this is too much you need a break. By all means I am not bragging or trying to toot my horn but I can say that theres a point where I say to myself its time to calm down or walk away or think before you say something etc. Especially in traffic jams or idiots on the road. I dont have road rage butbI can clearly see how one can get it quickly and make a crazy wrong decision. I look at my passenger(s) and it makes you think twice beore doing something stupid. It sure is a lot of rolled up windows and cussing is a beautiful thing. With a little head movement it really looks like your singing along with a song on xm. Again this is not a time for me to brag or anything of that nature but I can say looking at your loved one and really thinking twice when they are there and not there helps a whollllllllllllle lot

I tend to listen to music that I grew up listening too. Music helps me stay close to tye ground without snapping.
