More and more celebrities are doing it these days and many of them recently took a step back from Hollywood to prioritize their emotional wellbeing.
Shawn Mendes
Canadian hitmaker Shawn Mendes has been touring since his teenage years and noticed it was taking a toll on his mental health. After consulting his team and health professionals, he decided to cancel his world tour earlier this year to take “much-needed time off” so he could ground himself and come back stronger.
Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill is the latest celebrity to open up about his struggles with mental health. The two-time Oscar-nominated actor detailed his battle with anxiety in the upcoming documentary Stutz, but he won’t be promoting it or any other projects because he wants to protect himself from “media appearances and public-facing events” that only made his anxiety worst over the years.
Tom Holland
Social media can take a toll on anyone’s mental health, and things tend to get worse when you’re a celebrity with 70 million followers. That’s why it wasn’t a shocker to see Tom Holland announce he’s taking a break from social media, explaining he often “spirals” when he reads things about himself online. The Spider-Man star also previously hinted that he’s considering taking a break from acting in general.

And in 2021, food trends have tended to focus on wellness, with the goal of improving the health of our bodies, the planet, and even our wallets.
And one of the most interesting food trends to have emerged this year has been mental health cooking. Mental health cooking refers to eating with a focus on foods that are beneficial to your mental well-being. After all, it’s known that food and nutrient intake has a definite impact on maintaining mental and cognitive health. And in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, mental health awareness has been stronger than ever.
So it’s no surprise that eating for the health of the mind is a food trend in 2021. This means cooking with ingredients that have properties that can boost your mood, fight depression, soothe anxiety, and support your overall mental health.
This includes foods like salmon, whole grains, avocados, spinach, yogurt, nuts, and olive oil. So, have you tried mental health cooking yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

Here to help us out is illustrator and mentor, Stacie Swift. Author of “You Are Positively Awesome”, Swift promotes good vibes and self-care for all of life’s ups and downs. Whether you need an affirmation to make you smile, practical tips on upping your self-care, or space to create your own pie chart of “Things That Help on Tough Days”, Swift is here to lend a hand.
With a focus on positivity, self-care, and mental wellbeing, Swift’s illustrations (a colorful combination of hand-drawn images and type) are just the kind of content we look for these days. “You are not broken”, reads one post, while another invites you to take a “smallish nap or two”. Her illustrations also serve as good reminders that it’s okay not to be okay.
Take a look at some of her chosen words of wisdom, and show her support by purchasing her new book.
