Working Out is My Favorite Therapy
Endorphins! Scientifically, physical exercise has been proven time and time again to improve a person’s mental health. This is through the release of endorphins in the brain which relieve stress and create positive feelings in the brain. It’s why doctors advised everyone to start going on walks when the pandemic hit, and why there’s such a thing as “runner’s high.” But, you probably didn’t need me telling you that because it’s more or less common knowledge. So what if I told you that exercising regularly has helped me become a happier, more confident person?

Always With Love
You're not weak for crying. You're not weak for caring too much. You're not alone. He has a plan for you. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, to where it hurts to even breathe. Feel it all. Breathe it in. Because eventually..."This Too Shall Pass".

Times are tough right now and you've got this!
Mindfulness has been a buzz word for sometime now and for good reason. It is essential to not just surviving modern life pre-pandemic, but how are we all really doing almost 2 years into this ever unfolding 'new normal'?

Jaden's Desire
Cold, foggy mornings were the norm in New Haven, CT during the Fall months. Jaden Rivers tumbled out of bed and faced the window with a sigh. His scarf and overcoat were already hung on his bedroom door, waiting for him to shower, dress, and walk his two-mile route to campus. A Junior at Yale University, Jaden was quite the scholar but seemed to be depleted of a sense of direction in his life. His brain was a quagmire of thoughts such as, "Law school? Assistant Professor? Starving artist as a writer?" He knew one thing, though, he was bound to graduate -- not for himself, but for his family back home in Staten Island, NY.

How to get organized at home when you have ADHD or mental health issues
The relationship among our mental health, order and cleanliness — or a lack thereof — is strong, but like most relationships, it’s not simple. “We know there’s an association, but an association doesn’t mean we know that one thing causes the other,” said Dawn Potter, a clinical psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic. The premise that one’s space reflects one’s mental health can be particularly defeating if you’re already in a bad place mentally or physically, Davis said. Many of the symptoms of depression that make it difficult to care for ourselves also make it difficult to care for our homes, such as fatigue, no or low motivation for even small tasks, loss of interest in activities and difficulty concentrating. The shame of having a home that fails to meet society’s standards can paralyze, and often silence, people who need help managing clutter.

Learning to forgiveness
Have you ever been so angry at someone and thought, ¨this is something I can never forgive and move on from.¨ But what did you do, you moved on and you were happy again. It is never easy to forgive someone who has hurt you but it is not impossible to do so.
