I recently came across a listing of holidays and observances for the month of August. Hidden between National Catfish Month and Rye Bread Month, I spied Annual Happiness Happens Month.

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, affects many Americans who have lived through highly stressful situations but are looking to recover and get back to the things they’ve always loved to do. The traumatic event can be anything from being involved in an accident to serving in military combat, but no matter the experience, the effects are often similar in sufferers.

Still, everyone is affected differently, and therefore there is no one treatment that will work for every case. Some PTSD victims find it best to limit their social interactions, some choose to work with other survivors of traumatic events, and others are fine with working outside of the home but need a quiet environment.

Autism Awareness Month is a special opportunity to educate the public about issues within the autism community and to highlight the growing need for awareness about autism and autism spectrum disorders.

By mapping out your daily goals, the steps and time necessary to attain them, you will be well on your way to feeling accomplished at the end of the day.
