No matter what you're learning, mentally stimulating yourself can be key to becoming a more high functioning adult.

Practice Self-Care

Self-care is very important when it comes to leading a healthy life, and you can start by keeping a positive mindset. Try giving more focus to the positive things happening in your life verses the negative; this can set the tone for how you accept yourself and accept others around you. Self-care can also include becoming more active; exercise has been proven to help decrease the feelings associated with anxiety and depression as well as helping you become more physically fit and boosting your self-esteem.
