Surviving Summer Activities

What is better than summers on Long Island? Starting around Memorial Day, beach days and barbecues are how many of us spend our summers.

Spring Tune-up For Mind & Body

The snow has finally fallen and the spring birds have begun their mating calls. We’ve pushed our clocks forward an hour after spring equinox on Wednesday, March 20. As the warm days beckon us outside, it’s time to rejuvenate your mind and body.

Detox Your Mind

Let Your Thoughts Inspire You Your mind is working for you every second of every day – even while you’re sleeping. In fact, one of the major ways we detox our brain is via the glymphatic system (yes it starts with a ‘G’).

My fond hope is that you’ve all had a joyful and, hopefully, somewhat relaxing holiday. Now that the mad dash to shop, decorate, entertain, bake, cook, and everything else is over, you may begin to ponder what your New Year’s resolution will be.

Why you SHOULD let your child play video games

Many parents call me with concern that their child is spending way too much time playing video games; whether it be Call of Duty, Minecraft, Fortnite or whatever the rage is at the moment.

Keep Calm with Gratitude this Holiday

As the holidays quickly approach, most people begin to feel the wave of anxiety wash over and through them. Think: Take a long, deep breath; listen to your heartbeat and count to ten slowly.

Families and Holidays

Many find this time of the year extremely difficult due to the fact that they intermingle with family members. Professionally, we know that at this time of the year more people enter depression than any other time of the year.
