It’s normal and OKAY not to be okay at times.

While handling and adjusting to the changes in your life, looking after your mental health and well-being is crucial. This means dedicating time to recognise, accept and care for your current feelings and needs.

Practice the OKAY tips:

O: Observe your emotions.

Take a pause and reflect upon how you are currently feeling and what may be causing you to feel that way.

K: Keep a healthy lifestyle.

This includes getting a good night’s sleep daily, having a balanced diet, and exercising regularly.

A: Adopt coping skills.

This includes learning to engage in self-care activities and adaptive coping strategies to feel better or positive.

Y: You can reach out.

You can reach out to stay connected, be there for people you care about, and seek mental health services and resources.
