Small daily practices to help support your mental health

Our thoughts and emotions are so powerful that sometimes they can be too much for an individual to handle. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

As people become more open about their mental health concerns, awareness and support are growing. This World Mental Health Month, Maxicare helps advance this cause by releasing the mini-series What’s Saps?

This social media series features Sapna “Saps” Uttam, a Clinical Innerchild Therapist and Integrative Health practitioner. For more than ten years, she’s been counselling individuals, couples, and families to help them process and understand their personal and relationship concerns. She’s also done motivational talks and webinars on a variety of topics like parenting, mental and emotional health, and other disease-specific concerns.

So, you’re in for a treat because, through these short reels, you’ll get tips on handling day-to-day emotions, from understanding your mind to your body. Want a sneak peek? Here are three tips we got from her:

Stress-free in under a minute: You read it right. A simple breathing exercise can help you regulate stress, whether it’s from school, work, or personal matters.

Start with the right mindset: How you think in the morning can impact your whole day. Practicing meditation to condition your mind that it’ll be a good day can help.

Gratitude can make a difference: Start and end your day by listing things you’re grateful for. Seeing good things happening in your life, despite some challenges, makes a huge difference.

If these tips got you excited, then stay tuned for What’s Saps, exclusive on Maxicare’s official social media pages.
