Dear Light On Anxiety Community,


As we move into November, it’s a perfect time to embrace the practice of gratitude. By taking small moments each day to appreciate what’s good, you signal to your brain that the coast is clear, which helps reduce anxiety. This month, I encourage you to join me in building your gratitude mental muscle and experiencing its calming benefits. Together, let’s make November a time for reflection, appreciation, and finding peace in the present moment.


Warmly,

Dr. Debra Kissen
