Dr. Lena Pearlman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Director at Dr. Lena Pearlman & Associates. In between sessions, I asked her: What are some creative ways to take care of mental health?
Build! Buy some wood and build something, like a birdhouse. It takes all of your thought process and brain power. By the end of it, you’ll have a finished product and a cool accomplishment. Not interested in building? Get a large canvas and paint. Do anything that will get you a finished product at the end.
Bake – Baking requires focus, patience, and mindfulness. Pick a difficult recipe that you’ve never done.
Volunteer – for example, volunteer at a homeless shelters. Do things that do good, make you feel good, and help those around you.
Go Outside – Examples include a picnic or a nice walk. Go on a hike!
