Creative Pursuits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people find that creative forms of expression are a great way to work through and release your frustrations and troubles in a positive way. So take up a pottery class, or try some doodling. Even just having a dance around the living room to a well curated playlist can do wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Feel Good Friday\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/37i9dQZF1DX1g0iEXLFycr?si=e536b05d15e04fd5&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Everybody needs to Talk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another rather self explanatory method for tackling mental health issues is talking about your problems. This can mean different things to different people, whether it&#8217;s therapy, or just confiding in a close friend. It can be scary, but it can do so much for your wellbeing.
