In my quest to stave off seasonal depression before it starts, I’m treating a chronic IT Band pain with a relaxing massage. Treating physical pain and illness helps reduce emotional vulnerability, and makes it easier to manage depression.

Last years season depression took me by surprise. This year I’m going to be prepared. I’m starting now to shore myself up to stave off seasonal depression, and I challenge you to join me.

When we’re angry, anxious, or afraid all we want is to feel better fast. This Paced Breathing exercise can quickly and effectively decrease emotional arousal so you can make the next right choice.
