I’m writing an article about suicide prevention for our local magazine. All the brain health resources I’ve interviewed say the same thing: There isn’t one specific thing you can do, rather all the education and efforts toward wellness, self-care, and connection work toward assisting people in having a sense that there are options for help.
It reminded me of what we discuss in my organizational culture class — there is no one magic solution there, either. All the efforts companies make to live up to their values, respect their employees, and be fair and open in their communications — add up to create a healthy culture.
You could say the same about relationships, healthy living, financial security, or any transformative change. While it would be great if there were a single action or habit that produced success, unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Focus instead over the long haul on the cumulative actions that contribute to the outcome you seek.
