  - Journaling to process thoughts and feelings
  - Prioritizing exercise and socialization

May 31, 2024 From Pain to a Happier Brain
🌟 Pain to Find a Happy Brain 🌟
For the past 15 days, I’ve been creating content because I needed it, and I was hoping you needed it too. Yes, even to have a happy brain, you need help, tips, and techniques. This show focuses on positive, uplifting things, but sometimes, I need those tips myself.
So, I recorded 15 days of content, even on days I didn’t feel like it. I shared wisdom from some of our amazing guests who have given their time and effort to help us make our brains a little happier.
You don’t always feel good. If we always felt good, we wouldn’t need a show like Happy Brain, right? These tips and techniques come from my heart. I have struggled, and I know you struggle too. I hope some of these tips, gathered over the two years of doing this show, can make a difference in your life as they have in mine.
So, if you enjoy this, please look back, find some of our guests’ incredible insights, and discover ways to turn those tough moments into happier ones.
Cheers to a happier brain! 🧠💖

🌟 The Power of Resilience 🌟
For Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s talk about the power of resilience. Even though you’re struggling, trying different things, getting outside, walking, doing everything you can – sometimes it still feels tough. But that’s where resilience steps in.
Remember those times when you struggled before? You overcame them. You found ways to be strong and resilient. You found your truth. You are strong, and you have been through challenges before, and you will overcome them again.
✨ Embrace your strength. Trust in your resilience. You are capable and strong. ✨

So for this tip, dive back into something you once enjoyed. Make it new again, savor the moments, and give your brain a happy boost! 🎉
✨ Try something old. Rekindle the joy. Enjoy yourself. Have a happy brain. ✨
