Amidst hectic weekday schedules, meal preparation is a great tool to help keep us on a healthy eating track.

Depression is a state where everything seems insurmountable. When you feel so low that things you previously enjoyed no longer hold that same joy. Your energy may be depleted, leaving you drained and worn out. This can make it difficult to muster the strength or desire to get treatment. Small lifestyle changes may help you manage these feelings.

Think about how easily a small frustration, unkind word, or difficult moment can totally shift the way our days go. You might be high-flying in the morning and crashing under the weight of stress by the evening. Rollercoasters of emotion can make getting through our days. That’s why this is good time check in on yourself to re-evaluate how things are really going.

When you falter, don’t use that as an excuse to give up. Rather, look at it as an opportunity to try your new mindset to motivate yourself to get right back on track.

You already know what to do, it’s just about taking the next step!
