## Resource

According to a 2016 WHO study, 25% of the global population is likely to develop a mental disorder during their lifetime. But of course there are certain habits that we can adopt to diminish that risk, or treat the situation. These include getting counselling, regular physical activity and a proper sleep routine. Another beneficial habit is journaling, or "therapeutic writing”, as it’s also known. A Cambridge University study published in 2018 found that expressive writing about traumatic events increased physical and psychological well-being. What are the benefits? How can I get started?
