To-do lists 📝 are a great way for you to keep yourself on track for the day. Start with a small handful of tasks & gradually move to more difficult or time-consuming ones. Pro tip: don’t list everything out at once as not to feel overwhelmed. Progression is 🔑 #mentalhealth

Let there be light! Let us know your experience with light therapy. #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness

[yourbrainbuddy @yourbrainbuddy]

In areas that receive all 4 seasons, especially as temperatures drop and daylight diminishes, some of us may experience seasonal depression.

But there IS light at the end of the tunnel (no, really, we’re talking about light therapy).💡🪔

[yourbrainbuddy @yourbrainbuddy]

@mayoclinic defines light therapy as a way to treat seasonal affective disorder, more commonly known as SAD, by exposures to artificial light. Sitting or working next to a light therapy box can affect brain chemicals linked to mood and sleep and mimic the effects of natural light

[yourbrainbuddy @yourbrainbuddy]

At YBB, we ❤️ sharing quotes and words that empower us to be strong, tenacious, and fearless — because when you live with a mental health condition, sometimes you just need a simple reminder of how admirable you really are. #MentalHealthMatters #BeTheRose🌹
