Gold, MD, remind you to &#8220;Take Care.&#8221; Beginning today, the team will offer a series of wellness tips and strategies to promote personal wellness and well-being.<br \/>\n<P>Their message: &#8220;Take Care&#8221; of yourself; &#8220;Take Care&#8221; of others, including your co-workers, loved ones and friends; and &#8220;Take Care&#8221; from a professional, when needed.<br \/>\n<P>Social connectedness is an important component of wellness, but because of physical distancing, connecting with others is more difficult now. Fortunately, we can reach out through email, phone calls and video chats to show support and build community. Taking care of those around you also may mean recognizing when someone is struggling, more distant, distressed and\/or anxious. If you notice that a friend or co-worker is struggling, reach out and connect with them. Ask them how they are doing, listen for signs of distress and connect them to resources.<br \/>\n<P><B>Today&#8217;s &#8220;Take Care&#8221; tip: Keep a gratitude journal.<\/b><br \/>\n<P>There is solid research demonstrating improvement in mood, and even structure, in people who routinely write down three things for which they are grateful. This can be done daily, or at least weekly. Writing is the secret &#8212; it helps your brain process information and trains your brain to look for the positives around us. This is a great thing to do in this Thanksgiving season, and a good habit for all year round.<br \/>\n<P>Share something you are grateful for in the comments below.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"
