5 Lies Depression Tells You – Depression Motivation, it gets better | Resources Included

Depression is a liar because it warps your perception of reality.

It twists your thoughts, making you believe things that aren’t true, even though they feel real. Here are 5 of the biggest lies depression tells—and the truth behind them: Depression makes it seem like the pain will last forever, like you’re stuck in a tunnel with no exit. And you start to believe that there’s no point in trying. Depression distorts reality when it tells you that your problems aren’t “bad enough” or that you should handle them alone. That you should be ashamed for having feelings and you have to hide them.

VIDEOS | White House – The East Wing | Jacqueline Kennedy’s First Televised Tour

In this series, White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin explores moments and interesting facts about White House history with the White House Historical Association historians.

In this episode, Historian Colleen Shogan tells us about the East Wing of the White House.

The East Room is the largest room in the White House. Grand yet sparsely decorated, it is used primarily for common gatherings such as conferences, announcements, and bill signings. It has hosted celebratory events such as receptions, performances, and weddings; and on occasion more somber ones such as funerals. Join White House Historical Association historian Dr. Matthew Costello as he explores the history of the East Room in this short video, made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring human endeavor.

On Feb. 14, 1962, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave the first televised tour of the White House in a CBS News Special with CBS News reporter Charles Collingwood. The tour gave the public an inside look at the historic residence, which had undergone a $2 million restoration project, and a brief history of changes over the years.

7 Signs You’ve Healed More Than You Realize – Carl Jung

Healing doesn’t always look like light — sometimes, it feels like silence.

In this video inspired by Carl Jung, we’ll explore 7 subtle signs you’ve healed more than you realize — the quiet shifts in awareness that prove your transformation long before happiness returns. True healing, as Carl Jung taught, is not about escaping pain but integrating it. Through this reflection on shadow work, self-awareness, and personal development, you’ll learn how peace replaces chaos, how creation grows from consciousness, and how solitude becomes sacred. If you’re walking the silent path of growth, this video will help you recognize the progress your soul has already made. Remember, Carl Jung believed that becoming whole requires embracing every part of yourself.

9 Micro Habits for Self-Regulation of Trauma or Anxiety

Living with Trauma or PTSD can feel like your nervous system is constantly on high alert – like an overly sensitive car alarm that goes off at the slightest trigger.

This state of nervous system dysregulation can leave you tense, hypervigilant, anxious, angry, or completely burnt out. But the good news is that you can retrain your body toward balance and calm through simple, consistent practices. In this video, you’ll learn 9 science-based daily habits for trauma and daily habits for anxiety that promote nervous system regulation.

These micro habits include setting clear intentions, slowing down instead of rushing, creating a calm morning routine, scheduling true rest, checking in with your body, restoring a sense of safety, and developing skills to bounce back after triggers. You’ll also learn how to expand your window of tolerance with movement and end your day with soothing wind-down rituals.

Healing your nervous system doesn’t mean you’ll never feel stress again—it means you’ll feel safer, calmer, and more confident in your ability to recover quickly. With small daily changes, you can reduce anxiety, improve resilience, and support lasting recovery from trauma.

I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
