10 calming products that will help you take care of your mental health
Get by with a little help from our friends.

Often times, self-care products seem to be written off as creations for people who need an escape from the world. However, people suffering from mental illness who are reading the lists may find the suggestions themselves exhausting to accomplish.
So we’ve created this list to help you when your cutlery drawer is empty, and you have no more spoons to give.
1. This essential oils set will get you started with exactly what you need to calm your breathing.
One of my favorite ways to relax is to put a few drops of lavender oil at the bottom of your shower as you step in, and let the warm steam help ease your stress.
Get it on Amazon for $29.95.
2. A cute planter, because having a little green friend nearby can help elevate your mood.
It fits in the palm of my hand and I’m average sized. So don’t expect it to hold more than one plant – although it’s adorable to bring a pop of joy into the day.
Get it from Amazon for $8.45+ (available in 43 styles).
3. This gratitude journal will give you a moment to reset your perspective.
Take time to reflect on what you have room for in your life – think about what your goals are for today or the future.Â

7. A fidget keychain to help you snap(pea) out of your stress fog.
