Try These Tips Right Now to Get Started

Here are some simple ideas to help you right away, even if you're feeling hesitant:

1. List 15 Things That Bring You Joy - Choose 15 things that make you smile, then add each one twice to your worksheet and tick them off as you go. Can’t think of 15? Start with seven and repeat them - repetition helps create new, positive neural pathways.

2. Take It One Day at a Time - If 30 days feels overwhelming, start with one day. Then maybe add two more. Gradually working up to the full 30 Day Depression Challenge can help your brain start to shift without feeling pressured.

3. Commit to the Full 30 Days - If you can, take the plunge and commit to 30 days to reinforce your new mindset. That resistance you might feel? That’s just your brain needing a reset. Push through, and you’ll be glad you did!

Rewire Your Brain with This 30 Day Challenge

Building a routine that includes laughter, and movement can help create lasting positive changes in your mood. The 30 Day Depression Challenge encourages activities like “shake the tree” (a playful, uplifting qigong move) and watching or joining others in laughter. Believe it or not, your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and fake laughter - it’s all beneficial!

Other brain-boosting activities included in the challenge:

• Daily Laughter - Watch something funny or share a laugh with someone; even fake laughter rewires the brain.

• Movement - Shake, dance, or do light exercises. Moving every day helps reset your mood.

• Positive Self-Talk - Reinforce your progress with kind words to yourself.

• Pausing and Reflecting - Take moments to breathe deeply, look up from your devices, and feel grounded.

Remember to rate your mood before and after the challenge so you can clearly see your progress!
