Like the expression:
“The best view comes after the hardest climb”.
Growth may be challenging… and it’s worth it.

Think about it: are there many worthwhile people or things in your life that fell into your lap with absolutely no effort and with zero difficulty? 
Many of us feel our most meaningful accomplishments, or the things we’re most pleased about, were some of the most difficult and trying experiences of our lives:

• Walking the stage to graduate
• Crossing the finish line of a marathon or beating a Personal Best
• The Ta-Da moment as you present a homecooked meal with flourish
• Raising your children to be good, kind, respectful human beings
• Standing up for yourself against You Know Who
 You get the idea. 
These examples of feeling proud, accomplished, content, or aligned with your values are all areas of growth! 🍃

Spring is nature’s way of saying: alright, your turn! Similarly, therapy appointments can be an opportunity for your turn – for growth.

In therapy, growth is tantamount.

Growth could mean learning new coping strategies, developing more balanced ways of thinking, doing things that are important to you, or showing up to your first session.

Indeed, growth can be different for each of us.

Growth takes strength.
Growth has teeth.

Spring is around the corner 🌱

I tend to think of this as our behind-the-scenes season in Nova Scotia. While Spring may conjure images of flowers gently blooming, docile bunnies, and unassuming butterflies, it’s all a bit… misleading.

Those soft pastel colours… fuzzy baby animals balancing on fragile legs… Tender petals deftly unfolding into an impossibly perfect blossom…

If only it were so peaceful...

Growth is a-many splendor things, but I wouldn’t say it’s peaceful. And it’s rarely easy.

Spring is about growth. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁.

Here are a couple more ways to build a habit and self-discipline to make your resolutions stick:

𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝟯 — 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Link your new goal with something you enjoy.
Resolved to spend more quality time with your treadmill? Already hooked on the latest Netflix show? Bundle them by allowing yourself to tune-in to your favourite show when you’re on the treadmill!

𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝟰 — 𝗕𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳:

Staying on track can be a delicate balance between accountability and compassion. When life inevitably throws a curveball, practise non-judgmentally accepting that you had a ‘slip’ and then recalibrate. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Feeling stuck about what truly matters to you, or how to develop your own meaningful SMART goals? Therapy can be a great way to drill down to what your values are, set up your goals, and help maintain accountability! And guess what: we don’t care that it’s not January 1st!

You made it through January; did your resolutions?

It feels like January the 39th and for many of us, the enthusiasm for New Year’s Resolutions has worn off. No longer fueled by motivation, how do you keep the good stuff going? Or get back on the horse?

𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:

Motivation is the snazzy show pony, the initial spark that drives us to start a new habit or resolution.

Alas: motivation is temporary.
Enter: discipline.

Discipline is the less flashy workhorse that allows you to stick to your goals even when you don’t feeeeel like it. And there will be days when you just don’t feel like it.

Maintaining resolutions means having discipline
(not just motivation) to build lasting habits.

It takes about 21 days to build a habit. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄:

𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝟭 — 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Pair your new goal with something you already do automatically. Resolved to drink more water? Already a caffeine fiend? Habit stack by drinking a glass right after your morning coffee. This’ll help your new goal feel like a natural part of your routine.

𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝟮 — 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘁:

You’ve heard “Pics or it didn’t happen!”
Well: track it or it (probably really) didn’t happen.

Tracking keeps you accountable and can be done in all sorts of ways: keep a journal, try an app, enlist an accountability buddy - it doesn’t have to be fancy. Some of my clients like the “Finch” and “Grit” apps.

Stay tuned for 2 more tips to make it happen!
