Mental health should be one of the most important priorities in your life. Here are 10 things that you might want to interest you in to help with your mental health.

1. Having a nice cup of tea!

Enjoy a nice cup of tea. Tea can help with calming the mind and can help when it comes to anxiety. I recommend Harney & Sons African Autumn. To me, it is a relaxing tea and is caffeine free!

2. Starting a bullet journal!

Facebook

A bullet journal is a way just to organize your thoughts and have everything written out. When you write out your thoughts in a organized way it can help organize the thoughts in your mind.

3. Eating healthy and delicious food!

Facebook

Food, food, food. It is so important to watch the food that you are eating. There are so many energy boosting foods that can help boost your mood such as dark chocolate, bananas, etc..

4. Just walk it out!

Sometime you don't even have to buy anything to help deal with your mental health. Simply taking a walk, and breathing in outside air may be what you need to collect yourself.

5. Curling up with a coloring book!

Amazon

Investing in a coloring book is something very helpful. Coloring is a way to get your mind off things, relax, and even just be a kid again.

6. Investing in a diffuser!

Amazon

Getting an oil diffuser may just be the right thing for you! An oil diffuser has helped many people fall asleep when their mind is racing and helps relax. This could be something to invest in if you have anxiety that keeps you up at night.

7. SLEEP!!!!!

Oh how we love free thing such as sleep. It may not be as easy for everyone but just getting some sleep can honestly help so much. Sleeping helps re-energize your body, your mind, and makes you feel much better.

8. Reading a good book!

Amazon

Buy yourself a good book that can help when it comes to your mental health. Buy yourself a book that helps with what your dealing with and gives you advice on how to deal.

9. Getting some exercise!

Getting in some exercise and getting into a routine does go a long way. I have read once you get into a good routine it can help boost your mood, it takes your mind of certain things!

10. Just talking.

It is helpful to find someone you can talk to and express yourself to without any judgement. Try to find someone who actually cares about what your are expressing, this can go a long way.

Dealing with your mental health doesn't always cost too much, but taking care of yourself should always be essential.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
