Mental Health and Hygiene Calendar 2025 - Digital Copy

The importance of physical health is widely understood.

A good night’s sleep. Nutritious food. Brushing teeth. Showering regularly. Exercising. Spending time in nature. Taking a break.

What would happen if we didn't do this?

Within a few days of not sleeping, showering or not defecating our mental and physical health will be negatively affected. This will immediately take a toll on our personal and professional lives. That is why we take an annual health check-up and take care of our health on a daily basis. 

Compared to physical health there’s a complete lack of awareness about what works for mental health. Mental health is mainly addressed when there’s a crisis instead of preventing it through daily habits that can avoid a breakdown.

Just like a daily dose of physical hygiene can help avoid serious illnesses, daily mental health hygiene actions can lead to better well-being. 

In 2025, with just 3-30 minutes of daily actions, we can achieve immediate and long-term mental well-being gains. Mental hygiene habits can be incorporated into our daily actions like brushing, eating, sitting or walking – each of these can be done mindfully, by pausing and being present, savouring in the moment, we can be fully alive in the moment. 

To kickstart your mental health hygiene journey we created a 12-month themed guide, broken down to weekly habits that can be done daily. 

Start today, start where you are, start small, but begin.
