How to adopt positive habits and behaviours

When making positive life changes, it’s crucial to make new habits and behaviours routine. Daily exercise, drinking more water, and getting better sleep are all beneficial behaviours that can increase our physical and mental health. But they must become routine to stick long-term.

Life rules for good mental health

Throughout my teens, I suffered from bouts of depression. Through my 20s and early 30s, I began having panic attacks and severe anxiety. I didn’t experience significant grief or trauma, although I later learned that depression was inherent in my family.

How I learned to control and stop my panic attacks

I had my first panic attack at the age of 15. I didn’t know it was at the time, but it hit me hard, and it took several weeks to get over it. It didn’t fit my idea of a panic attack. I didn’t have any difficulty breathing. I wasn’t shaking or running around screaming. I felt completely overwhelmed by doom. The only way I could describe it was that it felt like a near-death experience, as I became detached from life.

Nana hated goodbyes

Nana hated goodbyes, but she knew sometimes they were necessary. When you had to leave her, she wouldn’t let you do so easily. She’d insist on walking you to the door. She’d stand in the hall and give you a long, sincere hug, and with a sad tremble in her voice, she’d say goodbye—several times.
