“The tape had "Julie Andrews" written on it. I thought that meant the tape belonged to my brother and I (his first name is Andrew). So, since it was taped especially for me, I watched it every day. It is magical.”
“Whatever happiness and mental health stability I have, I have to give a lot of credit to riding a bike.“
“Finding things that pop you out of negative or moody moments. Its different for everyone and sometimes different depending on the day! But equally important!”
“On an everyday, more down-to-earth level, I’m going to go with cooking. Cooking will mellow you out.”
“Find something you enjoy doing, whether you’re good at it or not, and make time for that. It’s a self-prescription for your mental health. I’d recommend making music!“

“Walk daily. Go scope out some trails in a forest near you or just walk around the block for 30 to 60 minutes. Its a good way of awakening your mind and getting fresh air pumping through your lungs.”
“I think everyone should carry around a little notebook, sit down every now and then and take the time to write down their thoughts. It’s helped me calm down, reflect, find new perspectives on things and has been an inspiration for many songs.”
“I'd recommend journaling. Get one of those one-dollar composition notebooks for school or keep a folder on your computer for unfiltered thoughts when you’re feeling frustrated or inspired or confused.”
