38 — Hunter Hayes: Dealing with Loneliness, Prioritizing Mental Health, and Finding Coping Skills that Work for You

Working on your mental health is never convenient. But you may be forced to deal with a mental health crisis at the worst time if you don't practice self-care. Fortunately, there are small steps you can take to manage your mental health daily that can make a big difference to your overall well-being. And according to Hunter Hayes, 5-time GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter, you're never too busy to prioritize your mental health. Hunter rose to fame in 2011 when he became the youngest male act to hit the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for his song "Wanted." Despite his busy touring and recording schedule, he still prioritizes self-care and mental health. But he makes it clear that it's an ongoing process for him. Some of the things he talks about today are the tools he uses to manage his mental health, his strategies to cope with loneliness, and what he's learning about in therapy.
