My pick for August is the book Atomic Habits, by James Clear. 

 

Mr. Clear is a Columbus author who has traveled and lectured extensively on habit formation and reaching goals. The author suggests that when we have trouble sticking to good habits, it's not because we are the problem. The problem is the system we use to create change. He asserts that we need to reshape the way we think about progress and transformation, using small but meaningful improvements each day. He draws from the literature of biology, psychology and neuroscience but makes the ideas easy to digest and implement into everyday use. 

 

Atomic Habits has the ability to inspire readers and leave us wanting a little bit more of the stories he shares to illustrate frameworks for success. 

 

For those of you who are intimidated by a full-length book, the author also writes a newsletter, which can be found at atomichabits.com/newsletter

 

Happy Reading!

We are all recovering from the effects of COVID-19, rather personally, someone we love, or the fact that we have been isolated from our family and friends. As we move forward, it’s time to prioritize our mental health and self-care.

 

Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Mental health is more than the absence of a mental illness—it’s essential to your overall health and quality of life. Self-care can play a role in maintaining your mental health and help support your treatment and recovery.

 

Here are several ways to support your emotional and mental health:

When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. For other ideas for healthy practices for your mind, body, surroundings, and relationships, see the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Wellness Toolkits.
