These chemicals naturally improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and help relieve stress.Regular exercise can also improve your sleep, raise your energy levels, and boost your confidence, all of which contribute to better mental health.Build and strengthen connections with family and friendsSpending time with loved ones, sharing your thoughts, or even just chatting can provide emotional support and a sense of belonging. This lowers feelings of loneliness and isolation, two factors that negatively affect mental health.Supportive relationships give you people to turn to when you face challenges, making it easier to cope with stress. Socializing also encourages positive feelings and offers opportunities to share experiences and advice.
