✨ The Power of Affirmations ✨

The words we repeat to ourselves matter. Affirmations—simple, positive statements—can help shift negative thinking, reduce stress, and strengthen resilience. 💛

Try starting your day with phrases like:
🌿 “I am capable of handling what comes my way.”
🌿 “I deserve rest and peace.”
🌿 “I choose to focus on what brings me calm.”

Small words, repeated often, can reshape the way we see ourselves and the world. 🌞

🌸 Celebrating Michelle 🌸

Recently our Spero Counselling & Psychotherapy team gathered to celebrate a very special milestone for our colleague and friend, Michelle. As she prepares to welcome her little one at the end of this month, we want to take a moment to share our deep gratitude for the heart, wisdom, and compassion she has brought to her clients and our team.

Michelle, your presence has been such a gift to us and while we will miss you while you’re away, we are so excited for this new chapter in your life. 💕

Please join us in sending Michelle love, encouragement, and warm wishes as she begins this beautiful journey into motherhood.

Back-to-school season can be a whirlwind: rushed mornings, last-minute lunches, endless forms, new schedules.
It’s easy to focus only on the kids’ needs and forget that you are going through a transition, too.

Your mental health matters just as much in this season.
Here are three gentle reminders for parents right now:

08/12/2025

It’s okay to feel a little bittersweet as summer fades.

August often brings a mix of emotions—holding on to the last golden evenings of summer while preparing for the routines of fall.

You might feel excitement for new beginnings and a quiet sadness about what’s ending.
Both can be true. 🌿

As you transition into a new season, try:
• Making space for reflection — journal about a favorite summer memory.
• Carrying one simple joy forward — maybe it’s evening walks or fresh flowers on the table.
• Letting go of what no longer serves you — habits, commitments, or mindsets that weigh you down.

Change is easier to navigate when we give ourselves permission to feel everything that comes with it.

🌞 Moms, Summer, and the Mental Load 🌻

Summer is here—and with it comes the sunshine, the popsicles, and… the juggling act.
For many moms, summer can feel like trading the school-year routine for a different kind of overwhelm:
🧺 Endless snacks and laundry
🚗 Camp drop-offs and pick-ups
📅 Constant scheduling
😩 Very little time for you

If you’re feeling like you’re managing everyone else’s summer but your own, you’re not alone. The invisible load is real—and it can be heavy.

At Spero Counselling and Psychotherapy, we see you. We support moms who are doing it all (and quietly wondering how much longer they can keep doing it all).

This summer, give yourself permission to:
💛 Ask for help
💛 Take breaks without guilt
💛 Say “no” to things that don’t serve you
💛 Prioritize your mental and emotional well-being

You deserve care, too.
We’re here when you’re ready.

While summer is often seen as a season of joy and freedom, it can bring unexpected mental health challenges. At Spero Counselling and Psychotherapy, we want to normalize those experiences and remind you that support is always available.

Some common summer struggles include:
• 😴 Disrupted routines and lack of structure
• 🌡️ Difficulty sleeping or coping with heat
• 🏖️ Body image concerns in a culture of comparison
• 😔 Feeling isolated while others seem busy and connected
• 🎓 Life transitions like graduations, moves, or job changes
• 😟 Summer-onset depression (yes, it’s a real thing)

If you’re not feeling your best this season, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

🕊️ Whether you’re managing anxiety, processing change, or simply needing space to check in with yourself, we’re here to help.

Want to build your confidence? Start by listening to how you talk to yourself.

Low self-esteem often begins with negative self-talk—quiet thoughts like:
• “I’m not good enough.”
• “I always mess things up.”

The first step is simply noticing these thoughts. Then, try gently turning them into affirmations:
• “I’m doing my best.”
• “I can learn and grow.”

You don’t have to believe them fully yet—just practice speaking to yourself with kindness. It makes a difference.

What’s one affirmation you need to hear today?

April is Stress Awareness Month—a time to check in with ourselves and one another.

This year, we’re embracing the message: .
When life feels heavy, love—whether it’s through patience, kindness, or understanding—can lighten the load.

At Spero Counselling ans Psychotherapy, we believe that love shows up in small, meaningful ways:

• Taking a deep breath when things feel overwhelming
• Offering yourself compassion instead of criticism
• Reaching out instead of staying silent

Let’s lead with love—in how we treat others and, just as importantly, in how we treat ourselves.

You don’t have to carry stress alone. We’re here to walk with you.
