Chip's Tips!

Good nutrition supports more than physical health—it can play an important role in our overall mental well-being, too.

MiraVista and TaraVista’s Vice President of Food Services, Chip Edgar, shares this month’s tip for healthy eating, featuring one of August’s most plentiful—and versatile—vegetables: zucchini.

Because caring for our mental health can include the everyday choices we make to nourish our bodies, manage our stress and support our overall well-being.

So much zucchini. So many possibilities. And one more simple way to take care of you!

August 8th is Happiness Happens Day, a day created to remind us that happiness isn't reserved for life's biggest milestones. Instead, it celebrates the everyday moments that often mean the most—a shared laugh, a kind gesture, a favorite song, a walk outside, or the quiet comfort of a good cup of coffee.

From a mental health perspective, that's an important reminder.

Happiness isn't about ignoring life's challenges or pretending everything is okay. We all experience stress, grief, anxiety, and difficult days. Caring for our mental health doesn't mean feeling happy all the time. It means allowing ourselves to recognize and appreciate the moments of joy that can exist alongside life's struggles.

Research has shown that noticing small positive moments can help build resilience, reduce stress, and strengthen our overall sense of well-being. Those moments may seem ordinary, but they have the power to remind us that hope, connection, and healing are often found in the little things.

Today, may you find one small moment that makes you smile—and give yourself permission to truly enjoy it.

At MiraVista, your well-being matters. And sometimes, happiness really does happen -- one small moment at a time.

A Little Less Clutter. A Little More Calm.

August 6 is National Clutter Awareness Day, a reminder that the spaces around us can sometimes influence how we feel.

For many people, clearing a countertop, organizing a drawer, or making the bed creates a sense of accomplishment and can help reduce feelings of stress or overwhelm. You don't have to tackle the entire house. Even one small area can make your environment feel a little calmer and your mind a little clearer.

It's also important to remember that clutter isn't always about being messy or disorganized. Sometimes it reflects a busy season of life, physical limitations, emotional stress, grief, depression, or anxiety.

For others, difficulty discarding possessions may be part of hoarding disorder, a recognized mental health condition—not a character flaw or a lack of willpower. Hoarding disorder often requires understanding, compassion, and professional support.

This National Clutter Awareness Day, don't focus on perfection. Focus on progress.

Whether you clear one shelf, organize one drawer, or simply take one small step toward a space that feels more peaceful, every little bit counts.

A little less clutter can sometimes create a little more room to breathe. And your well-being matters.

Halfway Is Still Forward.

Today marks the halfway point of the week. Maybe you've checked every box on your to-do list. Maybe you're simply doing your best to make it through the day.

Either way, halfway is still forward.

The same is true for mental health and substance use recovery. Healing rarely happens all at once. It happens one conversation, one healthy choice, one appointment, one act of courage, one day at a time.

If this week hasn't gone the way you hoped remember, there is still time to turn the page. And if you've been making progress, even in ways no one else can see, take a moment to recognize how far you've come!

Whether you're living with anxiety, depression, or another mental health challenge, navigating substance use recovery, or supporting someone you love, every step forward matters.

You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep moving.

At MiraVista Behavioral Health Center we're here to help people take that next step. Whether you reach out at the beginning of the week, halfway through, or when the week is coming to a close, one thing never changes: you don't have to take the next step alone. When you're ready, we're ready.

Your Well-Being Matters -- The Power of Letting Go

Some things are worth holding onto: Kindness. Hope. The people who lift us up.

Some things aren't: The conversation you replayed all weekend. The mistake you can't change. The expectation that you have to do everything perfectly. The worry about something that hasn't even happened yet.

Letting go doesn't mean you stop caring. It means choosing not to carry what no longer serves you.

That isn't always easy, and it doesn't happen overnight. But sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is set down the emotional weight we've been carrying and make room for peace, perspective, and possibility.

Today, ask yourself one simple question: What can I let go of?

You might be surprised by how much lighter tomorrow feels when you don't carry everything from yesterday.

At MiraVista, your well-being matters.

Sometimes, one of the simplest ways to care for your mental health is to slow down.

Today, on National Coloring Book Day, we're reminded that coloring isn't just for children. For many adults, spending even a few quiet minutes with a coloring book can provide a welcome pause from the demands of the day. Focusing on colors, patterns, and creativity can encourage mindfulness, ease stress, and create a calming moment in an otherwise busy schedule.

While coloring isn't a substitute for professional mental health care, it can be one small, healthy coping strategy alongside exercise, connecting with others, getting enough sleep, and reaching out for support when you need it.

So today, picture yourself taking time for your own well-being. Go ahead and color outside the lines! There are no grades, no expectations—just a few quiet moments to recharge. Sometimes the smallest acts of self-care can make the biggest difference, and your mental health is always worth coloring into your day.

Happy National Coloring Book Day!
