Practicing gratitude isn’t just a feel-good habit; it actually rewires your brain to focus on the positive.

Quick Facts:
1. Gratitude activates areas of the brain linked to reward, motivation, and emotions.
2. Regular gratitude practice can reduce stress and anxiety while boosting overall well-being.
3. Journaling or reflecting on what you’re thankful for strengthens positive neural pathways, making it easier to notice everyday joys.

Start small: write down 3 things you’re grateful for today, even tiny moments count.
👉 Save this post as a reminder to practice gratitude daily!

The holidays can bring joy, but also stress. Setting boundaries is key to protecting your well-being while staying connected.

3 Tips to Stay Grounded:
1. Know Your Limits – Decide in advance what feels manageable and communicate it clearly.
2. Communicate with Compassion – Use “I” statements to express your needs without blame.
3. Give Yourself Permission to Rest – Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish; it helps you show up fully.
Remember, you can care for others and care for yourself.

Feeling overwhelmed? Journaling can help you process emotions, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself.

Keeping a record of your thoughts and feelings can help:
🖊️Reduce anxiety
🖊️Break obsessive thought cycles
🖊️Improve awareness and perception
🖊️Regulate emotions
🖊️Encourage mindfulness
🖊️Even boost physical health

Here are three prompts to get you started:
🖊️ What’s something that’s been weighing on me lately?
🖊️ What would I tell a friend going through this?
🖊️ What’s one thing I can do today that would help me feel better?

You don’t need to be a writer, just be real. Your journal is your space to express yourself and breathe through it.

Fall brings change, so can our moods. We experience seasonal changes due to the reduction of natural sunlight, which disrupts our body's natural circadian rhythm and influences the production of crucial brain chemicals like serotonin (mood) and melatonin (sleep).

Here are four signs and symptoms of Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder (SAD):
🍁Feeling listless, sad, or down most of the day, nearly every day
🍁Having low energy and feeling sluggish
🍁Having problems with sleeping too much
🍁Experiencing carbohydrate cravings, overeating, and weight gain

As temperatures drop and daylight fades, it’s common to experience emotional changes, from low energy to increased anxiety or sadness. Here are a few gentle ways to support your mental health this fall:
🍁Soak in the sunlight when you can
🍁Get outside and move your body
🍁Keep a regular sleep routine
🍁Talk it out or journal your thoughts

Change is constant, your emotional health doesn’t have to weather it alone.

Did You Know? Eating disorders aren’t just about food, they're often tied to deeper struggles like perfectionism, anxiety, and trauma.

Many people who appear “fine” on the outside may be silently battling overwhelming thoughts and behaviors tied to control, shame, or self-worth.

Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age, body size, gender, or background.
And early support can make a lasting difference in recovery.

This September, in honor of Recovery Month, we’re raising awareness and reminding you: healing is possible, and help is here.

In Minnesota, the shift from summer to fall is more than just cooler weather and changing leaves, it can also stir up unexpected emotional changes.

🏫 Stress from back-to-school or work transitions
