SELFIE stands for Sleep, Eat healthy, Light, Fun, Interaction, and Exercise. Focusing on these habits each day can help you feel happier, less stressed, and support your mental health.
SLEEP
Getting enough sleep is key for your mental health. It boosts your memory, helps you handle stress, and keeps your mood steady. Try sticking to a bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed, and keep your room cool and quiet for better sleep.
EAT HEALTHY
Healthy eating is vital for your mental health. Nutritious foods help you focus, boost your mood, and give you energy. Try eating fruits, veggies, whole grains, and drink plenty of water. Avoid too much sugar and junk food for a healthier mind. If you want to learn more, watch this video!
LIGHT
Getting sunlight each day is great for your mental health. Sunlight boosts your mood and helps your body make vitamin D. Try spending time outdoors during the day, like walking, reading, or playing outside.
FUN
Having fun is important for your mental health. It helps you relax, reduces stress, and makes you feel happier. Try activities like playing games, drawing, listening to music, or hanging out with friends to add more fun to your day.
INTERACTION
Interacting with others is important for your mental health. Talking, laughing, and sharing with friends or family can make you feel supported and less stressed. Try reaching out, joining a club, or working on group projects to build connections.
EXERCISE
Exercise is great for your mental health. It helps reduce stress, boosts your mood, and improves focus. Try activities like walking, biking, dancing, or playing sports to feel more energized and positive each day.
