Hey bloggers! It's summer time! Time to get out there and mix with people, read a good book, go swimming or have other fun activities. But what can you do when there's nothing to do and you have too much time on your hands. Focus on someone else and volunteer! Suggestions: at a nearby park a museum, at the library, or a nursing home Helping other people is good for your soul and allows your mind to be happy in a new way. If there's one thing I've learned, the best way to avoid a depressive episode is to get out there and do what makes you happy. Keep your mind on something else, trick your brain. It's a proven fact that when we are focused on something that's rewarding to us, our brains produce more serotonin and lowers our stress level which is better than any antidepressant. Try it! Take a leap and put yourself out there.
