What will boost your mental wellness?
IF YOU SCORED MAINLY
Stimulation
When you have a naturally curious mind and a love of learning, feeling understimulated, even for just a few days, can have a noticeable impact on your mental fitness. Being busy isn't enough - daily routine can feel crushing for you if you don't feel like you're being stretched, learning something new, or are mentally engaged at some point every day. Stress and tiredness combined with boredom is your most undermining combination, with the potential to trigger self-destructive habits. Other red flags for you are feeling like you've lost direction, feeling generally flat, or finding it hard to get up in the morning and start the day.
Procrastination is one of your weak spots, so it's also worth paying attention when you find yourself scrolling on your phone or binge-watching TV. Routine can help us feel grounded and can be a necessity in a busy life, but living life on autopilot will never be enough for you. Ensuring you get enough stimulation doesn't have to mean planning big experiences - it can also be as simple as asking where you can do something different today. Listen to a new podcast, pick up a book instead of your phone, or simply switch up your daily walking route - looking for daily ways to turn off the autopilot will help to keep you mentally flourishing.
