I'll add mindfullness/meditation. I've found it very beneficial.

Not sure what you mean by this. Generally, I think introspection helps one understand themselves. I think the alternative to this is denial and that will eventually catch up with you whether you like it or not.

I would go easy on the mushrooms

I personally don't like mushrooms but I find weed in moderation is very helpful.

I would suggest being as positive as you can be, be grateful for what you have, and enjoy each day as much as you can.

Gratitude has been shown to be one of the most effective tools for mental health. I would caution people about positivity though. Some people tend to see this as always looking on the bright side while also glossing over or ignoring potentially troubling or negative thoughts. Again, that's a form of denial that will gradually build over time and become more difficult to deal with and can lead to more mental health issues.
I'll also add that physical exercise, healthy eating and good sleeping habits can be very beneficial to overall mental health.
