Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Mindsigns Health team! 

As we head into the long weekend, remember that the holidays can bring a mix of emotions – from joy to stress. No matter how or where you spend it, your mental wellbeing matters. 

1. Set realistic expectations: It’s okay if things don’t go as planned – let go of perfection. 

2. Keep healthy habits: Stick to simple routines like sleep, movement, and mindful eating. 

3. Practice gratitude: To help shift your mood, pause to note what you’re thankful for. 

4. Connect or reach out: If you are feeling alone, connect with someone in your network. 

5. Allow yourself to adapt: If things feel overwhelming, step away and protect your mental energy.
