Self-help techniques

Self-help techniques are strategies individuals use to improve their mental, emotional, or physical well-being without professional assistance. These can include practices like setting realistic goals, managing stress through mindfulness or meditation, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with good sleep and exercise, practicing positive self-talk, and seeking information or resources for personal growth. The goal is to empower oneself to handle life's challenges, develop resilience, and foster a sense of control over one’s life. While helpful, these techniques are most effective when complemented by professional support for complex issues.
