how to save mental health: simple ways to do it.
Keep an eye on your condition and periodically give yourself a rest day (a real break)
You know when - in an endless stream of cases, tasks and deadlines - you need to breathe out and give yourself a chance to rest. Besides, you yourself know that after a short break you will have the strength to "sink" even deeper into the work process. However, despite the fact that the benefits of such a psychological "detox" are obvious, for some reason we feel selfish and lazy at the mere thought of rest. To avoid inappropriate and completely unwarranted remorse, treat such a day off as prevention - by taking one "healthy" day to "recharge", you give your body (including your immune system) time to catch up and prevent a very real "sick" day in the future.

Think about the things you only enjoy during your holiday and incorporate them into your daily life
When we're on holiday, we tend to take it all in stride - without blinking an eye, we replace the gym with a swim or a walk, have dinner with friends at a cafe or buy a salad and go for a snack in the park. We also don't check our emails because we've set up an autoresponder and put our phone into airplane mode beforehand. But what if you could add a pinch of that serenity to your harsh reality? How about letting yourself go for a jog around the city centre instead of working out at a sweltering health club? Or set your phone to "do not disturb" mode and stash your smartphone in your bag at 10pm? Of course, such measures are no substitute for a proper holiday, but they can buy you some personal time and loosen things up a bit.

Limit your intake of refined sugar.
No, eliminating sodas, sweets and baked goods from your diet won't cure depression or anxiety, but it will help you avoid blood sugar spikes, which, in turn, allow your body to conserve energy long-term and distribute it evenly throughout the day. And while there are no foods that can protect you from stress, magnesium (and therefore foods that contain it) can help relieve headaches and fatigue. So next time you're out shopping, don't pass up avocados, figs and pumpkin seeds.
