There are many self-care tools we can use to help improve our mindset, eliminate negativity, reduce stress and anxiety, improve mental clarity, and help us cope with and overcome challenges.<\/p>\n<p>We also learned that when dealing with challenges that affect our metal health we should always stop, take a breath, observe with curiosity, proceed with caution and use trial and error to help us figure out which self-care tools are most appropriate for dealing with the \u00a0situation. Things won\u2019t always be easy and to develop\u00a0good mental health it will require daily effort and a variety of tools.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly we learned that sometimes we don\u2019t always have the answers and there are many organizations and people we can go to for help if we cannot solve our problems on our own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2185\"
