Mental health resets can vary depending on individual preferences and needs, but some common examples that I incorporate in my life include:

1. Taking a break and disconnecting from digital devices and social media.
2. Practicing mindfulness and meditation to center the mind and reduce stress.
3. Engaging in regular exercise and physical activity to boost mood and reduce anxiety.
4. Spending time in nature and enjoying outdoor activities for relaxation.
5. Seeking therapy or counseling to address underlying issues and gain coping strategies.
6. Setting boundaries and managing stress by learning to say no when necessary.
7. Cultivating hobbies and interests that bring joy and fulfillment.
8. Getting enough restful sleep to support mental well-being.
9. Practicing gratitude and focusing on positive aspects of life.
10. Surrounding oneself with a supportive and understanding social network.

Please remember everyone, mental health resets are highly personal, so it's essential to explore what works best for you and consult with a mental health professional if needed.
