Welcome to the month of June! June is a month of rebirth, blooming flowers, and warm weather. As your mental coach, Aamish Dhingra, Mental Health Coach, and founder, of Cocoweave Group is here to give you some self-care tips for the month to ensure this June is your happiest one.

● Embrace the Outdoors: With June's warm weather, it's a prime time to be outdoors, especially in the northern hemisphere, where spring is finally in full bloom. Besides all the blooming flowers and long days, hit your local parks for a walk, plan a picnic, or simply bask in the sunshine. Connecting with nature has been shown to help relax one's mind, decrease stress, and improve one's mood. With June's mild temperatures and vibrant scenery, the month is ideal for outdoor activities and connecting with nature.

● Nourish your body: Pay attention to what you are eating; eating healthy will give you physical health and improve your mental well-being. Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables; take a balanced diet. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Try to avoid junk food as much as you can.

● Socialising: Socialising is vital for our mental well-being. Meet your friends and families, spend time with them, and make an effort to make phone calls or video calls. Make an effort to meet new people, as you can learn about new cultures, languages, and many more. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people, which will boost your mind.

● Appreciating yourself: Don’t forget to appreciate yourself for your achievements. Celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small or big they are. Give yourself credit for your efforts and achievements.

● Seek help when needed: If you feel you are not doing well mentally and need someone with whom you want to share your thoughts and share your pain, don’t hesitate to share. The more you share, the more you will feel light.

● Practice Meditation: Take some time out for yourself to practice meditation, deep breathing, and simply focus on the senses. This can help reduce stress and increase a feeling of calmness.

● Get quality sleep: Good sleep is very important for both our physical and mental well-being. Make sure you sleep well, create a bedtime routine, and keep all your electronic devices away. Try to get a sound sleep for 7-9 hours to feel refreshed and rejuvenated the next day.

● Physical Activity: Physical activity not only helps you to be in shape but also refreshes your mind. Try to add any kind of physical activity to your daily routine, whether it’s yoga, dancing, jogging, or simply taking a walk. It helps you reduce anxiety and depression.

By incorporating all these basic tips into your daily life, you can make this month of June a healthy and happy one. Always remember to protect yourself in this busy world!
