when you are low.

2
Tackle the low moods. It is very important to lift yourself out of a low mood, as it can
make you sink into depression. Being extremely happy all the time is to be avoided as
well, as you can miss out on the dangers around you.

motivational; these are keys to being emotionally healthy.

Use affirmations. First thing in the morning, say to yourself, 'I love and respect myself',
it really works.

Avoid drugs and minimize alcohol. Drugs only cause problems with your brain

irresponsibly.

Express yourself through writing. Writing how you feel on paper can really help you
feel relieved.
