Booking THERAPY INTENSIVES FOR May and June!
When the temperatures drop and the daylight hours are so short, the will to work and stay motivated is challenging. If you’re feeling sleepier, struggling to stay motivated, and feeling less productive, we have several tips this week to help you stay warm, energized, and inspired—even when it’s too cold to do anything.
The new year often brings a wave of inspiration, and we may feel invigorated by everyone’s new year resolutions. We jump on the train of new experiences, ready to tackle long-delay goals.
Yet, by the end of February or March, the initial spark fades. Doubts creep in. We hesitate. Sometimes, we don’t even get started with our goal, too caught up in ‘preparing’ and telling ourselves, “Once we have this one thing set, then we’ll be able to start this goal and be the person we want.”
These patterns often stem from limiting beliefs—those hidden, self-imposed barriers that hold us back from new possibilities. This week, let’s explore how these beliefs shape our actions and how to break free from them.
It’s the end of the year! This season is a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and renew as we prepare for the new year. To make the most of this transition, we’re sharing prompts and activities to help you check in with yourself and shape your vision for the year to come.
The holidays are here, ready to sweep you up in a whirlwind of busyness. Between the endless end-of-year tasks, it’s easy to miss the simple joys of the season and watch the days fly by.
But what if, instead of “looking forward to” a moment, we lived in this moment? This moment offers us an opportunity. An opportunity to laugh, to connect, to breathe, and to cherish these moments.
This week, let’s remind ourselves to slow down, live in the moment, and create memories.
The excitement (or stress) from the holidays often brings a flood of sensory input that can quickly become overwhelming. Bright overhead lights, loud holiday music, children screaming with excitement, carts clattering in the store, crowded aisles, and toys wiggle-dancing on the shelves with flashing lights—that’s a lot to process.
Sensory overwhelm happens when our brains receive more input than they can process. This week, let’s explore ways to manage sensory overwhelm so we can enjoy this time of year without the overload.
Navigating grief during the holidays is not easy, whether it’s your first holiday, second holiday, or tenth holiday season since your loss. Sometimes what has worked before is not working now, and it is challenging to hold this grief and the traditions of the holidays. So, this week, let’s look at some ways others have found peace with their holiday grief.
In case you need a reminder this holiday season:
“You are not a grinch,
you’re in grief.”
-David Kessler
The festivities of this time of year invites us to connect with family, friends, and others. Sometimes, the holiday season means spending time with people who you usually may not have consistent contact with over the year.
Whether you are connecting with a loved one or reconnecting with an old friend, this week let’s discover ways to make this season one of meaningful connection.
There are many expectations about the holidays. Holding these expectations and still keeping on with the daily responsibilities is a lot—it’s stressful.
If this season feels overwhelming, we have a few tips on navigating this holiday stress.
We are coming up on a busy time of the year. There is likely a lot on your plate besides the usual daily tasks and chores, buying gifts, scheduling time with your family, booking flights, cooking meals, and so on.
How do you make sure you remember to do all the things?
November is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a month dedicated to highlighting the mental health challenges that men experience.
Congratulations on taking this step!
We look forward to working with you!
