“Setting small, attainable goals throughout the year, instead of a singular, overwhelming goal on January 1 can help you reach whatever it is you strive for,” says psychologist Lynn Bufka, PhD. “Remember, it is not the extent of the change that matters, but rather the act of recognizing that lifestyle change is important and working toward it, one step at a time.”

“Older people aren’t happier—we don’t see changes so much in happiness across the life course. But we do see a significant reduction in anger and sadness and fear and anxiety. That’s why we say emotional balance improves with age. It’s different than saying, ‘I’m happier.’ Your emotional life becomes richer, and you’re more likely to see an old friend and smile and get a tear in your eye at the same time. I think that’s because we know life doesn’t go on forever. It’s not happy-go-lucky, but there’s something sweetly poignant about it.”

“A father's lawsuit against the online gaming platform Roblox will remain in the public eye after a California judge denied the company's attempt to force the dispute into a private resolution process.

While the ruling issued last week by California Superior Court Judge Nina Shapirshteyn applies only to one case in San Mateo County, attorneys representing dozens of families view the ruling as a legal precedent that opens the door for other victims to pursue their lawsuits against the company through the judicial system.”

Summary:
“Researchers identified SGK1 as a key chemical connecting childhood trauma to depression and suicidal behavior. High SGK1 levels were found in the brains of su***de victims and in people with genetic variants linked to early adversity. Drugs that block SGK1 could offer a new kind of antidepressant, especially for patients resistant to SSRIs.”
