Amy Morin
About this episode

Mental health advice is everywhere. But not all of it is good advice. In fact, some common tips about how to improve your emotional well-being that get widely shared on social media are downright unhealthy. Following those strategies might actually increase your depression, worsen your anxiety, increase your stress, or damage your psychological well-being.


Fortunately, there are some simple but effective ways to improve your mental health. Today, I'm sharing 10 things you can do today to build mental strength right now. Some of the things I talk about are:

  • How to reduce your stress by 60% in 6 minutes
  • The best relaxation strategies
  • The myths about gratitude
  • And the truth about mental health days


Stay tuned until the end of the episode for the question of the week where I help someone figure out how to find the best therapist.
