Depression, Sadness, Anger. There are little tricks you can do to help ease the emotion.

Why not check out the 5 tricks we use to help with depression, sadness, anger, etc. See you all today.
Non-Suicidal Self-Harm is something that most people are not aware of, they only hear depression as being linked with suicide.

Listen today as Pete shares how you can tell if someone you care about might be self-harming and how you can help them. Thank you for tuning in and listening to the “Jersey to Vegas Podcast”.

Are you trying to be perfect? - Episode #34 of the "Jersey to Vegas Podcast"
Today let's talk about perfection and trying to be perfect. Why do we put this external pressure on ourselves when we already know how hard it is just to live?
If you are really trying hard to be perfect -is that a good thing or a bad thing? I honestly don't know.
Perfection is one of my biggest assets---I have extremely high standards, am very hard on myself, and make no room for mistakes. Which then makes it one of my biggest flaws; since I have that "all or nothing" approach, and then when I do not achieve my goals--I consider it failing and become depressed.
So, let me ask you this-
What is perfection to you? When did you start wanting and trying to be a perfect person?
Have you or will you achieve that perfection?

As a Jersey guy for 40+ years I always thought I would be here and never leave. I mean I always dreamed about moving to somewhere sunny with palm trees, but who doesn't when you are shoveling 24 inches of snow and ice. The sreason for leaving my home state is far passed the environment and weather of NJ. Trauma, Depression, and finding no way out was more of the reason we moved cross country.
The pandemic was horrible yes and I know people that have had it and people that have passed from COVID. The time was rough. Yet it did open my eyes to something I never thought we would have done. Moving to Las Vegas.
