Four Ways to Prioritise Your Mental Health

Prioritising your mental health during a cancer journey is essential for coping with the emotional challenges that come with diagnosis and treatment.

Here are four tips to help you stay mentally strong:

1. Talk About Your Feelings

Open up to loved ones or a counsellor about your emotions. Sharing your thoughts can help release stress and provide emotional support.

2. Take Time for Self-Care

Set aside moments for activities you enjoy, like reading or gentle exercise, to help recharge mentally and physically.

 3. Stay Connected

Keep in touch with friends, family, or support groups. Social connection helps reduce feelings of isolation during treatment.

 4. Practice Mindfulness

Engage in relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage stress and stay present throughout your journey.
