What I have found helpful is to have a toolkit of strategies in place such as meditation and movement to manage your mood on days when you need it most.

Often, you might try to get rid of uncomfortable feelings like anxiety.

How easy is it to change your mindset? Recognise your daily actions and habits matter. Every action you take today is a vote for the person you will be next year and in 5 years time. Build in protective factors to help manage stress such as movement, connection and meditation. And consistency beats intensity - make daily habits automatic so you don’t have to choose to be healthy.
