Mental Health

Running errands. Doing the school run. Making dinner. Going to work. Getting some exercise. We live stressful and busy lives, whether we notice it or not. We are always juggling schedules, commitments and even when we think we’re relaxing, we’re usually thinking about something we have to do. We never really take the time to recharge out batteries, clear our heads and gain a fresh perspective on our day-to-day lives. But according to our mental health professional, Dr. Happy, it actually doesn’t take much at all to reboost our mental health, simply doing "nothing at all" is sometimes all we need. 

"Don't sweat the small stuff" - it's a saying we've all heard before. But if we're honest, we've all allowed ourselves to become upset about something (that with the benefit of hindsight), really wasn’t that bad or even that important. Despite knowing that we shouldn't worry about the little things, we can't help but do it anyway. The question is, how do we kick the habit for good? In his latest article for HIF, mental health professional, Dr. Happy shares his top tips on how we can let go of our everyday stressors.
