We all get overwhelmed sometimes in life and need a good reset and recharge.  Learning how to take care of your mental health is just as important as any other aspect of your day-to-day life.  When you don’t know where to turn for ideas and inspiration, you look to the stars for guidance, and the same is true for mental health recharge ideas.  Take a deeper dive into what you need at a basic level and you’ll know exactly what you need to do to get back to a happy state.

 

Exercise and Movement

Sometimes to get out of a rut, moving and grooving is good for the body and mind.  Signs like Aries will need a good sweat session to kick the bad mood.  With their fiery personality, mental health time needs to be hit head on for the most impact.  The same goes for Sagittarius – they like high energy, so maybe put on some boxing gloves and hit the bag.  Leos also love a challenge and the feeling of accomplishment, they’ll take charge of any workout and sweat it all out.  Another great way to exercise and clear the mind is through yoga.  Libras, with their need for balance in life will thrive mentally with yoga.  Cancers will also love a yoga practice to calm the emotional rollercoaster they are often on.

 

Journaling and Meditation

Writing it all out can be very cathartic and freeing for some.  The simple act of getting it out of your head and onto paper can lead to a mentally healthy mind.  Geminis need to be able to process information, so this is a great way to get those thoughts and feelings out.  Scorpio can be very intense, so meditation would calm and quiet the mind to help them sort out their feelings and see beyond the problem.

 

Cleaning and Sorting

Sometimes a good way to clear the decks of your mind is to literally clean other areas of your life, like the kitchen.  Capricorn’s love being productive and achieving goals – cross a few things off your to do list and it will mentally unclog you.  Virgos also love problem solving, so putting that energy to good use by tackling a big project you’ve been meaning to do will help declutter the mental turmoil.

 

Creativity and Stimulation

Having a movie night or coloring can help a lot of people unwind, relax and recharge.  Pisces are creative and imaginative, so practicing a musical instrument, drawing, singing or crafting would be great activities to wind down and relax.  Aquarius are watchful types, so a movie marathon might be just what the doctor ordered to get lost in someone else’s story to wash away any drama.  Taurus value security, so curling up under a weighted blanket with a good book and a hot cup of tea would be an ideal activity.

 

There are many ways to take care of your mental health.  If you need some inspiration for what will work best for you, try basing it on your star sign and let the cares and worries melt away.
