The gut-brain connection has received more attention in the last few years, and is an interesting concept to explore. It's not clear from this podcast if our guts directly or indirectly affect our moods, but if you notice having the same reaction after you eat something, trust your gut, so to speak!, and talk to your doctor about it.

"When we don't know things, we make s #!t up." This is so true! Our brains are not comfortable with the unknown, and, rather than accepting this, they tend to fill in with semi-random information. These often feel true, because they're based on past situations or educated guesses, but, in actuality, are still guesses. Until we have experienced something, or asked someone for more information (their perspective), we really don't know what will happen, or what someone else is thinking or feeling. We all know the old phrase about making assumptions, but consider how these assumptions are affecting your decisions and reactions, and then reassess.

"Other people matter. And we're all other people to everyone else." I heard this in a seminar I recently went to. I stood out to me because most of us know this, but rarely think of it this concretely. If we did, would we treat ourselves differently? Would we prioritize our needs? Would we allow others to take care of us differently? Maybe make some space for this statement and see where it leads!

September is often considered the end of summer, and back-to-school month, but it is also Su***de Prevention Month. People often ask what they should do if they are concerned about someone they care about. In addition to letting them know you care, the suggestions on this flyer are an excellent starting place.

Where does the time go? We all feel this way, but I often wonder if we do so more than ever, in large part because of our increased use of and reliance on technology. If you have things that you would really like to do, but don't, it may be time to take a close look at how you actually spend your time. Most people I talk to significantly underestimate how long they spend doing things that don't make them feel happy or productive. If you don't know what you are doing, you also can't change it. So take some time to re-assess and see how you can spend your highly-valuable time differently.

The exercise can help you identify what's wasting your time — and make room for what matters, says psychotherapist Niro Feliciano. Take a moment to try it. You might be surprised with what you find.

It may be quite some time until we see the actual results, but a recent ruling in New Mexico left Meta with some significant consequences for how they handle youth accounts. Much research has already been done on the negative effects of social media on children's mental health, but maybe rulings such as these will begin to force companies to make changes that benefit individuals, rather than their own financial interests.

In a landmark ruling against Meta, a New Mexico judge likened the company’s social media platforms to factories.
