May is Mental Health Awareness Month every year, and Apple also shares ten tips for maintaining mental health so that users can maintain mental health through the use of iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Record feelings and emotions
Research shows that reflecting on your state of mind helps build emotional awareness and resilience. Several studies have shown that identifying emotions can reduce emotions such as sadness and anger and have a positive effect on the body by slowing the heart rate. The Mental Mind feature on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch allows users to record their current mood and mood throughout the day, gaining valuable in-depth information about factors that may affect your mental state, including relationships, life factors (eg sleep or exercise) and other information.

Download the watch for the sun
Spending 15 to 30 minutes outside can reduce anxiety and stress levels and increase positive emotions. You can use Apple Watch to monitor your sun exposure using the ambient light sensor, and you can see the duration of your exposure in the Health app. You can also track the hours of sunlight for family members who have managed Apple Watches.
Reflecting and practicing gratitude
The “Diary” application allows users to record and write down daily moments and special events in their lives, and add photos, videos, recordings, places, etc. to create rich memories. Machine-on-machine learning provides private, personalized recommendations to encourage journal entries, as well as customized notifications to help you improve journaling practice. Journaling helps you reflect and practice gratitude through journaling, which research shows can help improve mental health.
Minimize distractions
“Focus Mode” is a feature that helps users reduce distractions and set boundaries. When you want to focus on a specific activity, you can customize one of the provided Focus Mode options (such as Work, Personal, or Sleep), or create a custom Focus Mode.
You can use Focus Mode to temporarily silence all notifications, or allow only specific notifications (such as those related to your tasks) and let other people and apps know you’re busy. People who want to message you will see that you have muted notifications, but they can still call you in an emergency. Users can schedule a “Focus Mode” to activate at a specific time, in a specific location, or when they open a specific app. After connecting “Focus Mode” to the lock screen, you just need to swipe to the relevant lock screen to turn it on.
breathing exercises
The Apple Watch Mindfulness app encourages you to set aside a few minutes to stay focused, focused and connected to your body while you breathe. You can even create a “breathing” surface that encourages you to relax and breathe mentally throughout the day.

Schedule time away from screens
Screen Time settings allow you to block apps and notifications when you want to be away from your device. For example, you might want to schedule deactivation time around mealtimes or bedtime. You can set time limits for App categories (such as “Games” or “Social Network”) and individual Apps.
Meditation to reduce stress
Apple believes that AirPods Pro and AirPods Max are perfect accessories for meditation. The “Active Noise Canceling” function blocks external noise and interference to help you focus on meditation.
Create a sleep schedule
Sleep is important for physical and mental health. Tracking sleep is a good place to start, and Apple Watch and iPhone provide another “sleep” experience. It helps you create a schedule and bedtime routine so you can achieve your sleep goals even at your busiest times.
Outdoor sports
Research shows that mental health is linked to physical activity and outdoor activities. You can use Apple Watch while walking or walking and look at data in the Health app.
