"Putting Your Best Foot Forward"
To do so at a job interview would mean to make a positive first impression.
To do so while dating and beginning a new relationship would mean to tell your new partner about the positive aspects of yourself, while avoiding the things you don't like about yourself.
But to put your best foot forward with mental health is not about making a positive impression to get somewhere.
Instead, it refers to making our mental health a priority in our lives, to see our mental health as a contributing factor to our overall health.
It refers to taking the necessary steps to ensure our mental health remains intact despite daily stress and other factors which may cause us emotional strain.
What steps have you taken to put your best foot forward for your mental health?
