We find that people get less anxious when they're connecting with other people. Men find that they're distracted when they're watching sports,
when they're playing sports, when they're outdoors, if they're hiking, if they're connecting with nature. [MUSIC PLAYING]
In order for men to feel happier, less stressed out, and less anxious, it's extremely important for them
to be able to maintain a routine as much as possible in their lives. And this routine involves trying to get
at least seven hours of sleep a night and trying to have a workout regimen. And this may involve three to five times
a week of any kind of physical activity that can get one's heart rate up. That could include aerobic activity, strength training,
a combination of both. And really trying to maintain other friendships. We often see that men, if they're
extremely busy with work or if they're in a relationship, may not have time to maintain these friendships that they once used to.
Perhaps incorporating that with some sort of physical exercise and routine, if they're interested in sports,
to try to maintain that as much as possible. We find that people get less anxious when they're
connecting with other people. Men find that they're distracted when they're watching sports, when they're playing sports, when they're outdoors, if they're hiking, if they're connecting with nature.
So really trying to maintain as much of a balance as possible to maintain one's mental health for men is extremely important.
