5 One-Minute Habits That Help With Depression
Notas do episódio
When depression makes even the smallest things feel enormous, knowing where to start can feel impossible. But sometimes, one minute is enough to begin making a small shift. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent explores five one-minute habits that helped her with depression and low mood. She discusses behavioural activation and why you may need to take action before motivation returns. You'll discover simple ways to clean something, go outside, connect with another living thing, complete one tiny task and practise purposeful self-care. Dr Marianne also explores sick leave, all-or-nothing thinking, self-worth and how small everyday actions can support recovery from depression.
