Thanks for the tips! I’ve been practicing some of these (posture, positive thinking, walking in nature, hugging my cat), but I’ve come to notice that society does unfortunately tend to make these tips harder:
4. In my experience at least, hugging is internally discouraged to maintain a sort of macho image, which I think is really unhealthy. In any case, I rarely hug my friends, and I would really appreciate the affection!
7. Getting enough sleep is nigh impossible with current school and work schedules, which I believe take up too much of our lives.

In short, while I do agree that personal habits are really helpful, we also need to construct a society that better cares for our mental health.

One of the things that really help me is tackling my fears head on. I did this about a week or two ago and the effects were good. I just try and tell myself that as long as I'm having fun with what I do and I'm not bothering anyone that it doesn't matter what other people think. I'm still working on it but I know I'll improve.
