Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s restoration. 🌙
From boosting memory and concentration to supporting your physical and emotional health, quality sleep is one of the best forms of self-care.

Tonight, try setting your phone aside early, dimming the lights, and letting your body recharge.
You deserve it. 💗

Today, we honour those who served — and those who continue to carry unseen wounds.

PTSD can develop long after the battlefield, affecting the minds and hearts of many who have served our country.

As we remember their courage and sacrifice, let’s
also remember the importance of compassion, understanding, and support for the journey that continues at home.

🕊️ You are not alone.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃

Your thoughts can be loud, convincing, and
sometimes downright spooky 👻 — but that doesn’t mean they’re true. When your mind starts sending unhelpful thoughts your way, try pausing and responding with curiosity instead of criticism.

💭 You can’t always control what shows up in your mind, but you can choose how you talk back to it.

Small reframes can make a big difference 🧡
