Ashley and producer Sam (LMFT# 106352) share their insights on ways to increase happiness during this stressful period in time. Favorite quotes from this episode: "When your heart rate gets above 100 beats per minute, your access to your prefrontal cortex -which is where all of your logic and decision making is housed, is diminished. So it's really important to breathe and slow your heart rate down, and also do things to help your body relax." "Invest in a body pillow or a weighted blanket, especially if you live alone. Find soft, cozy things to envelop yourself in." "This is the time to throw out your sense of propriety and all of your "I can't do that, that's so absurd." This is the time to be absurd."
