Objective: Develop self-awareness by identifying personal mental health stressors and their triggers.

Activity:

• Set aside 10 minutes each evening for a week to reflect on your day.
• Write down:
  • What caused you stress (e.g., work deadlines, conflicts, finances).
  • How you felt (e.g., anxious, irritable, tired).
  • How you responded to the stressor (e.g., avoided it, addressed it, ignored it).
• At the end of the week, review your notes and look for patterns. Identify 1-2 recurring stressors to address with proactive strategies.

Objective: Protect mental health by setting clear boundaries in a specific area of life.

Activity:

• Select one area of your life where you feel overwhelmed (e.g., work, family, or social commitments).
• Write down:
  • The specific stressors in this area (e.g., overcommitment, lack of personal time).
  • One boundary you can establish to reduce stress (e.g., "I will not check work emails after 7 PM").
• Communicate your boundary to those affected, if applicable, and start implementing it for one week.
• Reflect on whether this boundary has improved your mental health and adjust as needed.

Objective: Reduce stress by managing time spent on digital devices and social media.

Activity:

• For one week, set specific rules for your device usage, such as:

  • Turn off unnecessary notifications.
• At the end of the week, write down any changes you noticed in:

  • Your productivity (e.g., accomplishing more tasks).
  • Your sleep quality (e.g., feeling more rested).
• Adjust your digital habits based on what worked best for you.
