What is mental health?

Mental health is an essential part of overall health and well-being. It affects how you handle stress, connect with others, make decisions, and show up at work and at home. Good mental health doesn’t mean feeling happy all the time—it means having the tools and support to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Headspace support for…

  • Navigating stress

    Stress can feel overwhelming, but you have tools to find relief anytime. With Headspace, you can access resources to help you manage difficult days. 

    Whether it’s a quick breathing exercise, a moment to slow down, or a guided meditation to reset your mind — each small step can help improve how you respond to life’s daily stressors.

    Three steps to take when you’re feeling stress & approaching burnout:

    1. Pay attention to your body. Notice when you start feeling tired, stressed, or overwhelmed. 

    2. Take breaks. Give yourself time to rest, even if it’s just a few minutes throughout the day.

    3. Set boundaries. Protect your energy by saying “no” to extra tasks that leave you feeling overwhelmed.

    Ready to ease your stress? Try the Deep Breathing for Stress Relief meditation in the Headspace app.

    Headspace is available to full-time and part-time Associates. To get started with Headspace, Associates must register through their unique registration link. Log into compassgroup.bswift.com and click “Headspace” to access your registration link.

  • Managing Anxiety

    Anxious thoughts can be overwhelming, making it hard to stay focused. Simple practices — such as deep breathing — help release tension in the body and ease feelings of anxiety. 

    With Headspace, you have access to a variety of guided meditation and mindfulness tools as well as expert-led support to help manage everyday anxious feelings and create space to feel like yourself again.

    Ready to ease anxiety and regain your day? Start the 30-day Managing Anxiety course in the Headspace app to feel calmer and more centered each day.

  • Setting boundaries

    In a world of constant demands, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. With Headspace, you can access mental health tools and expert-led exercises to help set healthy boundaries that protect your time, energy, and focus — so you can show up fully for what matters most. 

    Boundaries might include scheduling focus time, ending your day at a set hour, or pausing before taking on another task. All small choices that create space to work and live with greater ease.

    Three techniques to strengthen your boundaries and find balance:

    1. Take short breaks in your day to intentionally reset.

    2. Set clear work hours and transitions between tasks.

    3. Give yourself permission to protect your time and say “no” when needed.

    Ready to feel more comfortable setting healthy boundaries? Try the Strengthening Your Boundaries meditation in the Headspace app.

  • Navigating change

    Change is a part of life, and adjusting to new routines or habits can feel challenging. Whether it’s starting a new routine or taking on new responsibilities, transitions can bring both excitement and stress. Slowing down and considering your personal needs can help you navigate these moments with more ease. 

    Through Headspace, you’ll receive mental health tools and practical exercises to help you embrace change, manage stress, and build habits that support your well-being.

    Three ways to support your mental health as you move through transitions.

    1. Recognize your feelings. Give yourself permission to feel anxious, uncertain, or frustrated.

    2. Focus on what you can control. Identify small actions that help you adapt and regain stability.

    3. Take time to slow down. Add regular breaks in your day to pause and reflect before making decisions.

    Ready to become more comfortable with change? Try the Navigating Change course in the Headspace app.

    Maintaining mental health as an older adult isn’t just about addressing problems; it’s about thriving.

But with these challenges come opportunities for growth, resilience, and new ways to find joy and purpose.
