What can the darkest day teach us about mental health?

[@c.a.parker5036]

Tiny steps over the last few years have really helped my physical health. Slow and steady wins the race. Thanks for the reminder, Emma!

[@marly1869]

Thank you Emma, I love your messages of hope and small shifts that will take us to a place of light..🙏🏼🌟♥️ Love to celebrate the winter solstice myself with rituals to honor the season of turning within and giving myself that time that we yearn to love ourselves, to explore what my heart wants in this coming season.. it’s like the gestation of the gifts of my soul that have been hibernating. Ever since I started accepting the winter months with that shift in perception, I actually look forward to each season with inspiration and less anticipatory anxiety.. Merry Christmas..🥰🎄🪵🌟♥️

[@annaburton5774]

Good word! Thank you for always helping us shift our perspective! 🙏🏼💕🌞

[@kait_shmait]

Gosh, needed to hear this today. Thank you, Emma 🙏🏻💛

[@lillybits9726]

When my mother was alive, we always celebrated this day, and the longer days to come!😊❤😊

[@AW-lp4vm]

Another fabulous message Emma! 1 degree changes right?! Thank you! A Merry and Blessd Advent & Christmas tide to you & yours!!

[@robertmarianomolina295]

Thank you Emma, this is a perfect Christmas message.

[@umbertoyltp]

I am pleased to hear and see you saying words of both hope and realism. The only way is up 😂❤

[@maraortiz4603]

It s the longest day of the year in Argentina! I m so glad! In spite of all the troubles here, I take my time to,celebrate this glorious, sunny, warm day! It s so healthy to be thankful, to feel gratitude😊!!

[@charlesmartel6103]

I go out between noon and 2 PM. It helps. The sunlight helps. Thank you Emma so much for your help! You really help people out Emma!👍

[@shawnosborn8887]

Im in Fairbanks Ak. We get about 3.5 hours of daylight along the horizon. So i spend those few hours looking towards the sun and turn on the happy light. It is exciting when you start really noticing the increase in light. Thanks Emma

[@STAXBITCOIN]

God Bless everyone struggling.

[@dee5356]

Thank you Emma! This is so positive and encouraging! ❤

[@rietzhu]

Everything besides the “long hot days”.. otherwise I’m on board.. but I thrive in the winter and cold.. so I’m at home but yes, when there’s to much gloom it effects my state of mind by just, making me sleepy lol.. and some what depressed but luckily I have work and the love of my dog to get me by. Thank Jesus.

[@jasond626]

Lovely video.. great message.. Thank you

[@WhisperedDelightsASMR]

This is so beautiful. Thank you. You have such a gift you bless us with in your content here. God bless you & yours. ❤

[@markdimaio8396]

Thanks for the reminder and change of perspective

[@lostinmydreams4561]

The fact that I just had a huge positive turnaround in my life staring the day after the winter solstice just adds to how crazy things can change for the better

[@abbierose2278]

Love this. I get SAD and November and December are often the most difficult months out of the entire year. I've sort of learned to hate winter and the solstice for that reason, but I appreciate your more pleasant take on the solstice.

[@emerbarry7695]

What a brilliant message! Thank You!

[@AuthenticBranding]

This is my favorite day of the year. I mean not really because it's the worst day of the year, but there is never more hope than on today.

[@TangoCharlieWhiskey96]

Beautiful and impactful message

[@anneleonas7813]

Thanks for the update! Good news!

[@Bri-wc4ib]

Thank you for the message of hope 🥹

[@TinaLynnChapmanG]

Get a happy lamp for long winters. I have a suicidal background and these lamps really work. I have mild, if any depression, during the winters!

[@Simply_Sharita]

I definitely have seasonal depression every winter! I'm so glad we are getting more daylight each day.

[@hideoussails1783]

I'm suffering from that now how do you cope?

[@bunnymom]

Love you Emma ❣️😊

[@nicolas_-_-_]

Hello! I took a tiny step today! Even though, it was not easy. Thank you very much for this helpful video. This video is short, but it can make a huge positive impact on people's lives 🙂

[@paigecather8913]

I try take tiny steps every day. Thank you!

[@melokatdogs]

Seen from somewhere over the arctic circle, hearing "we have just 10 hours of sun" is very odd since we haven't seen the sun since the 22d of november and it hasn't risen since the 4th of december. But even though it's the darkest day as it's the day the sun is the farest from the horizon, it was a bright blue 2 hours of "daylight" and we enjoyed every second of it :-)

[@fabianaesteves679]

I absolutely love your work! Thank you

[@imagine-sg6kr]

Yessssss thankyou ❤

Today’s my birthday. Always makes me laugh that it’s the darkest day of the year! Maybe the fact that it’s my birthday brightens the day for me.

[@positivegradient]

The important part is the direction you move in. Make sure you are moving towards light, towards life each day, even if by a small amount.

[@SgtCroaker]

I always feel overwhelmed by tiny steps.. I suppose it's because I don't know where to begin, and I overthink it, which leads to anxiety and then panic.

[@SuperMar10GalaxyBro]

🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@lauriemtz8616]

Questions: How do we apply this to pain in 80% of body and frequent freak outs and involuntary screams and jolts and grieving the loss of mom? And how do we have patience for tiny daily steps?

[@HH-el8vp]

The God dies only to born again in Spring.

[@Purple_waves]
