Mary Magalotti Life Resolutions

  When you’re struggling with depression or other mental health issues, just getting out of bed can feel like an insurmountable task. Read on for  Mary Magalotti’s  advice on making the day-to-day easier while you heal and recover. Practice Self-Kindness Many people with depression have trouble getting motivated to complete daily tasks. If you’re experiencing this, remember that you are not useless, or lazy – depression changes our brain and makes things more difficult. Focus on doing what you can, especially eating healthy meals and getting enough sleep. Don’t beat yourself up for being less productive some days – your healing is the most important thing. Do the Things You Love Although you can’t force yourself to have fun, you can try and give things a go. If there’s an activity you used to really enjoy, like baking, hiking, or art, set aside some time to pick it up again. Even if you don’t feel better right away, your mood will lift as you do something that releases en...

Metal health issues have been more severe during COVID-19 pandemic. People are facing job insecurity, the loss of loved ones, stress and anxiety over contracting the virus and a million and one other difficulties. People need to support one another more than ever to ensure everyone gets through this.

You are still able to keep social and to share and receive the support that we all so desperately need during this time; we have to go about it a little differently.

Although often invisible, chronic pain is a prevalent problem throughout Australia.

Chronic Pain Management With Life Resolutions A psychologist can help to develop a chronic pain management plan that details specific ways to minimize flareups, manage pain killers and identify ways to maximiz...

There may hardly be a day that we spend without looking at our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. We may find ourselves starting and ending our days logging on to catch up with our friends, check the news, or even find out about the latest trends. However, we have to be cautious that if ever we start revolving our lives around social media platforms in ever-increasing volumes, it may become detrimental to our overall health.
