Abstract

k each time you get paid — I’ve saved almost $20k since I graduated college a year ago. I got a job and began saving$ 1k a month. That doesn’t even count retirement.

Think about your paycheck.

If I could show you 18-year-old me, that’s what I would tell you. Why? I was anxious as hell back then.

I panicked if someone in my family got appendicitis. I panicked if my mother got written up at her job. I panicked if my sister drove on the highway.

And it wasn’t your average panic…it was heart-attack-level panic. Literally.

Enough with the panic now. I’m more level-headed than I used to be, and I want to get you out of that anxiousness too.

So here are 10 mental health habits that saved my life.

1. Observe other people — Don’t watch. OBSERVE. Take a chill pill. Walk somewhere, sit down, and observe your surroundings. You’ll reach a high level of self-awareness.

2. Save a certain amount of your paycheck each time you get paid — I’ve saved almost $20k since I graduated college a year ago. I got a job and began saving $1k a month. That doesn’t even count retirement. Save as much as possible for a rainy day or fun experiences.
