Good Article on increase of Depression to lesser thought of reasons.

Reminder to all with Seasonal Affective Disorder, as we transition to Fall Get out your Happy Lights and Use them 20min per Day. Increase Social and Exercise even if you don't want too! Negative thinking will seem to make more sense, so be Extra Careful about what thoughts you give permission too!

When we engage our curiosity, we may access vulnerability and emotions that deepen our connection.

The Candidly spoke with Gottman Institute Research Director Dr. Don Cole about the importance of curiosity over correction. Read more: https://bit.ly/3zHjsbv
