Word of the Month: Explicit MemoryLong-term memory that is able to be recalled on demand. Example, purposefully retrieving info. for an exam. Fun Fact:It has been estimated that the human brain has a memory capacity of 2.5 petabytes (2.5 million gigabytes) when compared to a computer. This is akin to roughly 300 hours of TV shows!

‘Tis the Season!
How to Manage Your Mental Health During the Holidays:
- Stay in Therapy – Holidays can stir up difficult emotions. This is your time to discuss anything that might come to the surface.
- Mindfulness – Take a few moments of time and focus on you. Find a quiet place and concentrate on your breathing. Slow, deep breathes in and slowly exhale. What are your thoughts? What is your body telling you in this moment?
- Do NOT Rely on Drugs/Alcohol – Studies have shown that substance use can actually increase symptoms of anxiety and worsen depression.
- Soak Up the Sun – Get out of the house and take a short walk outside. Enjoying the outdoors have been shown to decrease stress, increase concentration, improve mental energy, & lower inflammation.
- Set Realistic Expectations – Don’t dwell on the past year’s “should haves.” Instead,
set reasonable goals that can easily be added onto.
