As we enter May, we also enter Mental Health Awareness Month. This month provides an opportunity to focus on our mental wellbeing and recognize the importance of mental health. For those in the Web3 community, it is crucial to prioritize our mental health, given the fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of our industry. As the founder of the Women in Tech Museum, digital AI artist, and mental health leader for the Polygon Alliance, I have gathered ten tips to help you stay well during May Mental Health Awareness Month within the Web3 community.

1. Take a Break:

It is essential to take breaks during your workday. Whether it is a five-minute walk or stepping away from your desk for a few minutes, taking a break can help you recharge and refocus.

2. Disconnect:

Set boundaries for yourself and disconnect from work when you’re off the clock. It is important to have a work-life balance to prevent burnout.

3. Practice Mindfulness:

Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. These practices can help you manage stress and anxiety.

4. Connect with Others:

Stay connected with your colleagues, friends, and family members. Social support is essential for good mental health.

5. Exercise:

Exercise is an excellent way to relieve stress and improve your mental wellbeing. Even a short walk or yoga session can help.

It is incredibly important. I have had to work on my relationship with my mental health in conjunction with the space a lot over the last year. I always prioritize it over social media

It’s should be our main priority out here – especially for our ever-changing industry. You can only be you, at your full capacity, when you are taking care of yourself – so take that time, exercise, meditate, and talk to professionals I promise, you’ll thank yourself later.

Mental health affects our emotional health, so if we’re ever feeling a particular way, it’s always good to sit with that feeling until it calms. That even applies to excitement in most cases. My favourite power phrase is “Show me how good life can get” and since meeting Dave Swinbank, I set a timer on my phone reminding me to do something that makes me smile.

6. Get Enough Sleep:

Aim to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Getting enough sleep is crucial for good mental health.

7. Eat Well:

A balanced diet can help improve your mental wellbeing. Try to incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals.

8. Learn Something New:

Learning something new can improve your mental health by stimulating your brain and boosting your confidence.

9. Practice Self-Care:

Make time for yourself and practice self-care. Whether it is taking a bubble bath or reading a book, self-care is essential for good mental health.

10. Seek Help:

If you are struggling with your mental health, seek help. Whether it is talking to a friend, family member, or mental health professional, there is no shame in asking for help.

In conclusion, prioritizing our mental health is crucial, especially in the fast-paced and constantly evolving world of Web3. By incorporating these ten tips into our daily routine, we can improve our mental wellbeing and create a healthier work-life balance. Let’s make May Mental Health Awareness Month a time to prioritize our mental health and create a positive change within the Web3 community.
