Do you find that you experience a bad thing and think to yourself, “Nothing in my life can ever go right?” Do you think that you’re bad at relationships because you can never seem to do the right thing with your partners? Have you ever been excited to build a project, only to find after a while that things are taking longer than expected or you can’t just do things the way you expected so you think “This entire project is a wasted mess and will never work out”?
These are all examples of all-or nothing thinking. Let’s look at what this is and, more importantly, how we can challenge these thoughts.
Shame is a powerful emotion. It is so powerful that it can often override other strong feelings, like anger or excitement. Sometimes, the strength of shame knocks the breath out of us and we want to run from the situation, crawl into bed, and never emerge again—just to run far enough that it won’t eat away at our thoughts.
This week, let’s learn how we can move on from shame so it can stop festering in our minds and bodies.
Mental Health Awareness Month is an initiative designed to raise awareness about mental health, educate the public about mental illness, and reduce the stigma around mental health care.
Did you know? Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed every May since 1949. Wow, that’s over 70 years of growing advocacy and awareness!
“Grief needs to be shared, not judged.”
—Tanya Villanueva Tepper
This may sound a bit unbelievable, but tapping certain places on your body can help reduce stress! This somatic intervention is called Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT Tapping. This week, we’ll explain EFT Tapping and share several guided resources (featuring our very own Meg!) so you can practice this exercise anytime and anywhere.
Are you stuck on something that happened in the past? Your mind still mulls over all the things you should have done differently. You can’t stop thinking about how nervous you were during that presentation or that embarrassing moment from high school still makes you cringe.
Our instinct is often to shove these memories aside and never think about it again. But they are sneaky. When they creep back up, they bring a heavy bag of emotions—guilt, shame, hurt.
This week, let’s talk about how to process these moments. Whether it’s a Big event or a small moment, learning to process can help us learn to let go and come back to the present.
Congratulations on taking this step!
We look forward to working with you!
