Motivational Quotes
Having motivational quotes is always beneficial because it gets your mind in that positive mindset. You can use these images as lock screens, so every time you look at your phone you will feel motivated. Another thing you can do is get a collage with motivational quotes and put them around your room. Also, you could create your own and that could be a fun activity and time you can take for yourself.

Journaling
One of the ways to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to find a healthy way to express yourself. This makes a journal a helpful tool in managing your mental health.

It can help you gain control of your emotions and improve your mental health.Journal topics for Mental Health (see 37 Mental Health Journal Prompts Nobody Told You Before (positivebear.com)
