A short first-person talk by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim presenting three personal coping strategies for mental wellness: (1) daily walks to recharge and exercise, (2) journaling/writing to gain perspective and share insights, and (3) staying connected to community to avoid isolation. The speaker frames these as practices he uses daily and sometimes publishes about.
There are some coping strategies. I've been very useful in managing all this and my mental health as well. One is daily works. Taking an hour of daily work. It mentally recharges me, helps me clear my mind. It gives me the chance to catch up on podcasts or audiobooks. And it's really quite refreshing. And it's exercise as well, I guess. Number two, writing so journaling can be quite therapeutic. It keeps me grounded. It putting my thoughts down and helps me gain perspective, allows me to share insights that also help others. That's why I write daily and sometimes you see me publishing. Number three, don't isolate yourself. Isolation can worsen stress. Connect with your community, whether it's your friends or workplace, religious groups or professional network.
