by Margaret DeStefano

Taking care of your mental and emotional health is a crucial part of wellness. Here are some helpful tips: 1) An Australian study proved that looking at cute photos improves your mental health. Turn on a nature documentary, follow some new animal accounts on social media, or if you can, take a trip to your local SPCA and pet some puppies. You might even decide to adopt one. 2) Studies have also shown that exposure to nature, going outside in general, and getting exercise are sure-fire ways to boost your mental health. And in addition to improving your well-being, it improves your cognition and memory, so chances are, the quality of your work might benefit from a trip from your desk every once in a while. Take a walk, go for a jog, or simply sit in the park, you'll definitely feel better afterwards, and if you have a dog, they'll thank you, too. 3) Reading is another great way to take some time for yourself, learn something new, and reset your mind. You can find a list of incredible books about going zero waste or becoming more sustainable, if you're looking to improve your life on the planet too.
