There was so much pressure on you at that time.

Every person is different, so he cannot face every situation in one way. Things that are very normal for one person can be stressful for the other.

Physical activity is important - both mental and physical health are interconnected and incomplete without each other. Therefore at least a half an hour workout or walk daily is very important. If you do not want to exercise, then play a game of your favorite, join a fitness class. This will keep both bodies and mind healthy.
Learn to be happy in what you have got - Research says that a person who expresses gratitude i.e. whoever is happy in what he has got, then such a person easily faces challenges.

Do whatever work you like or which gives you comfort such as taking a hot bath, watching a movie, spending time with family and friends, reading a book, painting, or listening to music.
Healthy food - What you eat does not only affect your physical, bulk mental health. While there is no harm in eating a little chocolate when you are feeling low, it is very important to keep in mind that you take a healthy and balanced diet for the rest of the time. So this time, make a rule to eat healthy in the new year.
Distance from social media is important - Social media is a good way to connect with your loved ones, but if you start spending more time on it, then your mental stress becomes the reason. The desire to see recurring notifications and likes can make you mentally ill. So it is better to promise yourself in the new year that you will stay away from social media, not completely correct, but will see it for a very short time.
