It’s hard to capture the perfect image of all those fall colors…and even harder to capture the feelings you had while you were standing there. Take photos to remind you and also try these steps to embed memories into your body:
- Stop and look around. Take a slow, long look at everything…the branches, leaves, sky.
- Smell the crisp air. Inhale slowly through your nose.
- Listen to the leaves rustling in the breeze.
- Touch a leaf. Pick one up off the ground and feel it crack and crumble between your fingers.
Notice the beauty all around you: the scenery, the people in your presence, the way you feel. This helps cement those memories and those feelings into your body and your mind so you can enjoy them again and again.

Try to think big then act small. Look to the horizon then look inwards. With endless possibilities there are so many things you could tackle, but try choosing just one or two that could really make a difference for you and your mental health. Embrace change. Prioritize hope and happiness. You’re in control. ***dePrevention

Give yourself grace. You are doing your best and every day is different. Ask for help if you need it. Even if you aren’t sure what you need, try inviting a friend to sit and have a cup of coffee with you, calling your mom or dad, setting an appointment with your therapist, taking a yoga class, or visiting the dog park and petting all the dogs.
