Do you ever want 2 things at once? Do those pieces of yourself ever fight for who goes first?

Happy World Sleep Day! Sleep is a major activity, taking up a third of the average person's life (imagine sleeping 30 years of your life, wow). Whether you love sleeping or would rather stay awake as much as you can, sleep management is important as it can effect your mental and physical health.

While everyone's sleep needs are different, there are a few things everybody has in common. To get good sleep, you need deep and continuous sleep long enough that you don't wake up tired the next day. Seems simple, right? Well, 35% of people are continuously sleep deprived so badly it negatively affects their health.

This is why we encourage you to look at your sleep habits and make conscious choices to take care of future you.

This week is No More Week, a time dedicated to raise awareness and fight against domestic and sexual violence.

About 1/3 of women and 1/4 of men are abused or SA'd by their partner at some point in their lives. Half of all homicides against women are from current or former partners. Survivors are 3 times more likely to develop PTSD and depression. Unfortunately, it's both common and likely to develop severe long-term consequences.

So how do you fight against it? For prevention, learn the signs of abuse so it can be stopped before it escalates. For stopping abuse in progress, make it known that you're a safe person to talk to. Don't pressure them to leave their partner, it's often complicated and dangerous for victims. Let them know what their options are with local support programs that can provide crisis intervention, safehouses, and legal advocacy.

If you want to help abuse victims, often the most effective way is to support your local support program. Donate money so they can be more effective. If you're willing to go the extra mile, offer to be a safehouse. Abuse victims need support to successfully escape their situation, so support them how you can and if you need support processing your own history with DV/ SA reach out to us today.

There are a lot of therapy techniques out there with varying levels of success and usefulness. Some you may have heard of like psychodynamic or EMDR and some less know like brain spotting or bibliotherapy.

In this week's blog, we dive into bibliotherapy: therapy that involves reading books and using them to grow. Books are powerful tools that allow readers to explore other perspectives or process their own experiences. Check out the full blog to get into it further with us.

Today is the Global Day of Unplugging! Before you go "Okay Boomer" and get back to scrolling give me a chance here.

Technology is great. TV's, smartphones, PCs, gaming systems. If you're into smart devices, this could also include your thermostat, lightbulbs, Fitbit, fridge, washer/dryer, and whatever other technology you interact with daily. While these things are incredibly useful and entertaining, sweet cannot exist without sour.

The Day of Unplugging is about going techless (or as much as reasonable) for a day to highlight the differences. Technology tends to bring "noise" with it so that there's always something to do and something new to see. Being techless is slower, quieter. So tonight don't touch anything with a plug and see how it goes. Who knows, maybe you'll enjoy the quiet and do this again. Perhaps absence will make the heart grow fonder and you'll savor Reddit more next time. There's only one way to find out.

Today is Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Day!

Previously called Multiple Personalities Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (or DID) is a condition where the someone experiences a disruption in their sense of identity, memory loss, and possibly multiple distinct personalities. It's linked to early life trauma, abuse, and neglect which disrupts the usual integration of one personality. Similar to schizophrenia, people with DID may hear voices of the other personalities speaking to them or each other. Despite all we know about DID today, only 2% of people experiencing its symptoms are properly diagnosed.

Unfortunately, the media often portrays people with DID as dangerous which has led to a great deal of stigma (think Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). This is one of the many areas we can combat stigma around by talking and learning more about it.

Happy Teen Mental Wellness Day! According to the American Psychological Association, Gen Z has the worst mental health of any generation so far. That being said, it's more important now than ever for young adults to take care of themselves mentally.

Being a teen is tough and while modern technology makes it easier than ever to stay connected, it's also more difficult to disconnect and relax. Add on top of that unrealistic beauty/quality of life standards and news feeds full of evils around the world, it's no surprise they're having a hard time.

Today is the day to let teens know that it's okay to not be okay. Saying "I need help" is not embarrassing. Cancelling all your plans and spending the day doing your comfort thing is an option. And so is reaching out for help. We are here to support you as well.

March is National Reading Month! What's more, this week is Words Matter Week.

Words are powerful and encompass how we interact with the world. Words are how we communicate with each other, both spoken and written. Words are how we express ourselves. On top of that, word choice matters. Different word choices add nuance to otherwise straightforward sentences. For example, compare these sentences:

"It was a beautiful day."

"The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and a gentle warm breeze waved the grass."

They both mean the same thing, but say it very differently. So take care to choose the right words to say what you mean (and not what you don't).

For Reading Month we'll be recommending books every week. This week's book is "Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages" by Guy Deutscher. It argues that language shapes how people perceive and experience the world. Give it a peek, we promise it'll be worth your time.

Happy Inconvenience Yourself Day! I know what you're thinking, "Why would I inconvenience myself on purpose, and why celebrate it??" Well, today isn't about you. It's about going out of your way to help others.

Humans are hard-wired to help others. Acts of kindness are rewarded by a boost of serotonin from your brain. Most people would help others when it's convenient, but sometimes (most often, really) it's not.

So go the extra mile today. Give up your seat on the bus to someone who needs it more. Let another driver merge into your lane even though they should have a while ago. Pick up that trash on the street. You'll make someone else's day a bit better and you'll feel better for it.

When couples have issues, it's easy to focus on the surface-level problems: arguments, feeling distant, etc. Often times these are secondary problems caused by the loss of shared meaning. Shared meaning refers to how people come together with common values and goals, like making a happy family or a lifestyle of service to others. This week's blog gets into what exactly is shared meaning and how to build/rebuild it. Come take a look.
