Booking THERAPY INTENSIVESfor February and March!
So, you’ve made a mistake. What do you do afterwards? Do you recognize the mistake, accept it, and make adjustments to improve on it next time? Or, do you dwell on the mistake and beat yourself up for making even one mistake?
If you are prone to doing the latter, stick around for 3 steps to invite self-compassion.
When the world demands our attention, our attention becomes currency. Turning our attention inward and toward ourselves, our loved ones, and our life will greatly pay off.
You set a goal. Maybe it’s the New Year’s Resolution, or a goal you’ve wanted to do for a long time, or something you just created. So, you’ve got this goal, and in the beginning, you start making moves. You take steps towards your goal. They’re small, sure, but you feel yourself making progress. You hit a daily streak, then a weekly streak. You feel good, excited, challenged, yet motivated.
Flash forward to months later, are you still holding onto those feelings? Are you still working on the goal, or did you drop it when you didn’t make a Big Win in a month? If you’re still working on the goal, do you feel like you’re making progress?
If you do, then take the moment to reflect on what you do to keep going and feel like you’re making progress. If you don’t, then let’s uncover why you need to celebrate your small wins.
ou’ve likely already mastered the art of checking in: with teachers to see how you’re doing in a class, with doctors to keep your health in check, or with collaborators to see how a project is shaping up. If you’ve followed our newsletters for a while, then you may also know about another crucial check-in: checking in with yourself.
Instead of waiting for the perfect version of yourself, try to consciously enjoy being who you are now. This doesn’t mean you stop transforming or you stop growing. After all, you can still enjoy the car ride while heading toward your long-awaited destination.
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 frequently return to talking about self-care and check-ins, and for good reason! Self-care and check-ins produce the most benefits when they are a part of your daily routine.
On any given day, it can be difficult to talk about politics. With election day right around the corner, we’re sharing a couple of resources and tips for managing the political stress.
Do you take time for yourself before you experience a stressful situation? Or, do you only take time to rest and rejuvenate after challenging experiences?
This week, we are considering the differences between self-care and after-care. We also have a few practices for you to start tuning into your needs today.
As we close out the final week of 2023, we invite you to look inward and back on the year. If we were to plan for the new year before reflecting on what has passed, we would be doing ourselves a disservice by not allowing us to process our emotions, thoughts, and memories from the past year. Essentially, we would be carrying some of the heavy weights from the past year into the new year without giving ourselves time to pause and set down the weights.
So, whether you look forward to planning for the new year or want to hold onto 2023 for just a bit longer, let’s take a moment to look back and appreciate the journeys from the past year.
Congratulations on taking this step!
We look forward to working with you!
