Everyday choices shape mental health. This blog post by the American Psychiatric Association highlights research linking simple habits like daily connection, movement, time in nature, helping others, and spiritual practice with higher well-being. In therapy, we turn these into small, sustainable routines. These routines can be important for promoting the more intensive emotional and cognitive work. Following the link to learn more. 🧠🎃

We can all take many actions to support our mental health and protect against mental illness. These can include getting daily physical activity, eating healthy meals, getting sufficient restful sleep and more.

Why the world feels overwhelming — and how your body responds:

Pandemic aftershocks, climate worries, injustice, conflict, and nonstop headlines can keep us on alert. Staying informed matters, but 24/7 exposure can transform into doomscrolling, helplessness, and fatigue.

Overwhelm is a whole-body response. Threat cues activate fight, flight, or freeze. Helpful short term, draining when prolonged. Some signs to be aware of.

Physical signs (not exhaustive): sleep disruption, jaw or neck tension, digestive changes.

Mental signs (not exhaustive): foggy focus, decision fatigue, constant worrying.

Emotional signs (not exhaustive): irritability, sadness, feeling stuck.

Try this today:
• Set two short news windows, silence alerts the rest of the day.
• Breathe slowly: inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6, repeat three times.
• Engage in a fun activity, whether that's playing a game, watching your favorite show, engaging in a hobby, or socializing with friends (this last one is important).
