Social Distancing TIP: Here's a tip that I share with my clients for peace & calm, for reducing anxiety, and for just plain fun! Load the "Happy Color" app to your phone or tablet. It's available on both iOs and Android platforms. Well worth the purchase price ($7.99) to not get ads! EXTRA TIP: Breathe! (Inhale about 4 seconds, hold for about 4 secs, exhale for about 6 secs, repeat at least 4x)

Anthony Rostain and B. Janet Hibbs say college students today face an "inordinate amount of anxiety" — but parents can help their kids cope. Their book is The Stressed Years of Their Lives.

Great advice for parents and college students, both! Even though the subject is difficult to read about, it's better to be prepared than not. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/05/28/727509438/college-students-and-their-parents-face-a-campus-mental-health-epidemic

A major focus of my practice is helping clients with bipolar disorder manage their lives in order to achieve their dreams. These 5 suggestions from BP Hope magazine for improving our lives are things we can all benefit from, so here they are! 1) Be kind. 2) Enjoy the simple things. 3) Create a to-do list and tackle the hardest part first! 4) Take time to read. 5) Watch the cooking channel. #5 is a favorite of mine! Never tried it? Watch Netflix's original Chef's Table series, or their "Jiro: Dreams of Sushi" documentary which was so well-received that the Chef's Table was launched. Netflix also has a new competition show, The Final Table, featuring chefs from all over the world. (fyi, I'm not a chef; I just watch them on TV!) ;-) https://www.bphope.com/blog/bipolar-disorder-and-five-things-we-can-do-to-improve-our-lives/

Let go of anxiety, guilt, and unhappiness to be at peace with both yourself and your bipolar disorder.

The brains of people who get chills when the right song comes on are wired differently than others

Congratulations to the Georgia Aquarium on being the first aquarium to be designed as a Certified Autism Center! Please pass this good news along and they also customize the visits to the specific needs of the family. http://news.georgiaaquarium.org/stories/releases-20181025

Research shows that travel is one of the most intellectually stimulating events for individuals on the autism spectrum. Autism spectrum disorder is at a 600% increase year after year, yet there are few trained and certified travel options for parents...

"These parents have no idea that lurking behind their kids’ screens and phones are a multitude of psychologists, neuroscientists, and social science experts who use their knowledge of psychological vulnerabilities to devise products that capture kids’ attention for the sake of industry profit. What these parents and most of the world have yet to grasp is that psychology — a discipline that we associate with healing — is now being used as a weapon against children." https://medium.com//the-tech-industrys-psychological-war-on-kids-c452870464ce
