🧠 Tip Tuesday: Gratitude & Your Brain 🌿

Gratitude isn’t just good manners, it’s good for your mental health!
Giving thanks activates serotonin and dopamine (your brain’s “happy chemicals”), helping boost your mood, lower stress, and improve sleep.

📝 Quick tip: Write down 3 things you’re thankful for each night this week. It’s a simple way to reset your mindset.

“Give thanks in all circumstances…” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
A thankful heart is a healthy heart. 💛

Wellness Wednesday
🧠 + 💛 = Gratitude is Good for Your Brain
Did you know practicing gratitude isn’t just good for the soul, it’s also good for your brain?
Research shows that when we focus on what we’re thankful for, our brains release feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. That means more calm, better sleep, and even improved focus. 🙌
Gratitude literally helps rewire the brain to see the good... even on tough days.

🧠 Therapist Tip Tuesday 💬

Let’s talk anger. 👀

Anger management isn’t just about not yelling or throwing things. Sometimes, it's about learning to actually feel anger, and express it in a healthy, respectful way.

Here’s the truth:
Many people either stuff their anger down (hello, stomach aches, headaches, and anxiety 👋) or let it slip out through passive-aggressive behavior... and neither of those help us heal or grow.

➡️ Anger isn't “bad.” It’s a God-given emotion—just like joy, sadness, or fear. What matters is how we handle it.

✅ What healthy anger can look like:
Naming your feelings out loud: “I feel angry because…”
Taking time to cool off before responding
Setting boundaries respectfully
Processing it with a trusted friend or therapist

You don’t have to fear your anger. You just need tools to manage it well and we’re here to help.💙
