When you're not feeling great, here are some strategies to help pick yourself up:

1. **Acknowledge Your Feelings**: It's okay to feel down sometimes. Recognize your emotions without judgment.

2. **Practice Gratitude**: Write down a few things you're grateful for. This can shift your perspective and focus on the positives.

3. **Engage in Physical Activity**: Exercise releases endorphins, which can boost your mood. Even a short walk can make a difference.

4. **Connect with Others**: Reach out to friends or family. Talking about your feelings can provide support and perspective.

5. **Engage in a Hobby**: Do something that you enjoy, whether it's reading, painting, or playing music. This can distract you and lift your spirits.

6. **Mindfulness and Meditation**: Practicing mindfulness can help you stay present and reduce feelings of anxiety or sadness.

7. **Set Small Goals**: Accomplishing small tasks can provide a sense of achievement and improve your mood.

8. **Listen to Uplifting Music**: Music can have a powerful effect on your emotions. Create a playlist of your favorite uplifting songs.

9. **Get Enough Rest**: Ensure you're getting enough sleep, as fatigue can significantly affect your mood.

10. **Seek Professional Help**: If feelings of sadness persist, consider talking to a mental health professional for guidance and support.

Try incorporating one or more of these strategies into your day, and remember that it's okay to ask for help when you need it.

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; it does not condone or support the bad behavior that has been directed at or perpetrated on you or the trauma and its impact on your life.
It is about letting go of the pain and suffering that is continuing to have power over you and your ability to know your true value and worth, not defined by someone or something else outside of you.
Reclaim your power, and healing happens.

Relationships require both of you to want the relationship to work. If you are wondering if you have done enough to make it work or to save your relationship and it's still struggling, then it's likely that you are the only one that's really wondering that.

Will it bring us closer together or push us apart?
Is it kind?
Aim for a win/win outcome !

The Medicine Woman's prayer (Counsellor's too!)

I will not rescue you,
For you are not powerless.
I will not fix you,
For you are not broken.
I will not heal you,
For I see your wholeness.
I will walk with you through the darkness,
As you remember your light.

Wishing you a happy and safe holiday.

This time of the year is not a cheerful time everyone.

For those of you who are struggling, take a moment to remember lost loved ones, focus on good memories and find a way to be grateful for the precious moments.

Joy, peace, and love to all.
