Reducing Emotional Vulnerability

Picture with the words Three Cornerstones inside of a triangle with a picture of assorted vegetables with the words eating/nutrition next to it, a picture of a clock with z's near at one point of the triangle with the word sleep next to it, and a picture a hand weight and jump rope with the exercise next to it.

The PLEASE Master skill seems like common sense, and it is. After all, someone probably started teaching you about healthy behaviors before you were 5 years old. We’ve known about nutrition, exercise, and sleep all our lives. However, sometimes we lose sight of what is most important.

If you are like most people, you probably sacrificed your sleep on more than one occasion to finish a project, continue a pleasurable activity, or to do nothing important at all. The Centers for Disease Control states that 30% of Americans are sleep deprived. Is that you?

Poor sleep is a common complaint from people with depression, anxiety, or just stressful lives. Practicing good sleep hygiene is crucial for good quality sleep.
