✈️ On a recent flight, I was reminded of an important truth. In every safety demo, the crew reminds us to put on our own oxygen mask first before helping others. Why? Because we can’t take care of anyone else if we aren’t taking care of ourselves first.

The same is true in life—prioritizing your own mental and emotional wellbeing isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When you care for yourself, you’re able to show up as your best for your family, your relationships, and your work.

👉 Take the first step today and start small—maybe a 10-minute walk, or finally grabbing that coffee with a friend you’ve been putting off. Those small acts of care can make a big difference.

🌞 Hot Weather, Hot Tempers? You’re Not Alone.

When the heat cranks up, so do our stress levels. If you’ve been feeling more tired, irritable, or just not yourself lately—it might be the heat messing with more than just your comfort.

Here’s what helps me:

-Drink more water (yep, more than you think)

-Get outside early before it gets unbearable

-Be kind to yourself—everything feels harder in the heat

If you're feeling off, it's okay. Let’s talk.
Book a free consult at bsbcounselling.ca and we’ll figure it out together (PS. We've got AC).

Stay cool,

Can’t believe it’s already been a year since I shared my very first intro post on here. A lot has happened since then — more growth, more challenges, and a whole lot of learning (especially with four kids under 6 😅).

Whether you’ve been following along since the start or just recently landed here — welcome. I’m Brenden: husband, dad, dog owner, and the guy behind BSB Counselling. I’m all about keeping it real and walking alongside men and families navigating life’s messy, meaningful moments.

Thanks for being here. Let’s keep growing together.

Reminder: Make sure to prioritize yourself this weekend.

As a father of four, I get it—kids keep us busy. The to-do list never seems to end, and before we know it, we’re running on empty.

But here’s the thing: taking time for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Whether it’s stepping out for a quiet walk, getting in some alone time, or just slowing down for a moment, you deserve to show up for yourself too.

Because when you take care of you, you show up better for them.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or overwhelmed, you’re not alone.

At BSB Counselling, I offer a free consultation to help you take that first step toward balance and support.

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Even small routines can make a big difference in how we manage stress and show up in daily life.

Here are a few simple self-care practices that can help:

-Taking a walk, even just around the block

-Putting the phone down for a while to disconnect

-Saying no when responsibilities become overwhelming

-Getting consistent sleep to support focus and energy

These habits may seem small, but over time they contribute to better mental clarity, improved mood, and increased resilience.

When stress builds, self-care is often the first thing to go—but it should be the first thing we return to.

What’s one step you can take today to care for your mind and body?

Mental Health Tip: Name it to Tame it.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, one simple trick is to pause and label what you’re feeling. Anxiety? Frustration? Guilt? Sadness?

Research shows that putting words to your emotions can actually calm your brain and help you take back control of your reactions.

👉 Try this today: Take 30 seconds to check in. Ask yourself: “What am I feeling right now?” Then name it—even if it’s messy.

This small step can make a big difference. And if you’re ready for more support, I’m here to help.
