Journaling is more than keeping a diary. It is a practical way to boost health, sharpen your thinking, and improve how you connect with others. A few minutes on the page each day can make a real difference.

Assertiveness is the sweet spot between staying silent and coming on too strong. It’s the skill of expressing yourself clearly while respecting others and it’s central to both emotional intelligence and healthy relationships. To put it another way:

You don’t slink off into silence, and you don’t come swinging either. You plant your boots, say what you think, say what you need, and you do it without trampling anybody else. It’s not chest-beating. It’s not groveling. It’s the simple act of standing your ground while respecting the other person’s dignity.

Procrastination is not about laziness or weak willpower. More often it is stress in disguise, showing up as perfectionism, overwhelm, or poor time management. In this post, I break procrastination down into three angles—emotional, practical, and structural—and share simple ways to get unstuck, from practicing self-compassion to shrinking tasks into small wins to building systems that keep you moving forward.

Neurofeedback is brain training that helps your mind operate at its best — calmer, sharper, and more resilient.

Train Your Brain the Fun Way

Imagine “playing” a video game without touching a controller — your brain does the work while you watch it happen. That is the experience of StateChanger, a form of neurofeedback we offer at Berry Wellness Group.

StateChanger focuses on blood flow in the prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that drives focus, decision-making, and mental flexibility. In just twenty-minute sessions, three times a week, many people notice lasting improvements in about eight weeks.

You can train in our office, at home, or both. Families love it because each person’s progress is tracked individually, and it is simple enough for anyone to use.

It is fun, it is effective, and it just might change the way you think about brain health.
