Thanksgiving is coming. Here are some welcome reminders for managing what can be a very challenging weekend.

Ever feel stuck in a loop of negative thinking? It's time to interrupt that pattern!

As I share in today's Thoughts on the Run, the mind often blames external factors for our suffering. But we can break that fixation by making our emotional response conscious.

Try this simple inquiry: "How do I feel when I think this thought?"

This forces your mind to see how much of your difficulty is self-imposed, shifting the focus from external blame to internal responsibility. Give it a try!

Sometimes it feels like happiness is just out of reach. But what if the key isn't in what you're chasing, but in what you're already appreciating?

"It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy."

I work with people to shift their perspective and build a foundation of gratitude, leading to lasting contentment. Let's talk about how we can start that journey together.

Ever wonder why some days you feel like you've run a marathon, even if you just sat at your desk? It could be your "energy budget"! I use a simple but powerful concept: Green Activities give you energy, while Red Activities drain it. Learning to identify and balance these is a game-changer for your mental well-being. What's one green activity you'll add to your week?

Learning self soothing techniques and meditative practices builds your capacity for managing difficult situations. Counselling can be proactive not just reactive. 🙂

Regrets are often shared in therapists offices. Many of them can still be started. Small shifts in thinking are often all is needed. Often hypnosis and some strategic thinking can breakthrough the fear barrier. Let's chat. 🙂

In this video, I talk about the metaphor of "watering the garden" for both our personal well-being and our relationships. Just like a garden, we can't expect ourselves or our connections to thrive without regular care and maintenance. This includes taking time for yourself and deliberately scheduling fun, enjoyable activities with loved ones. Remember, a well-tended garden always bears good fruit.

I wanted to share this important message: healing should include positive experiences as well as difficult ones. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that healing is a purely negative process, but it's not. It's about finding balance and making space for joy, connection, and simple pleasures.

I hope this inspires you to find a moment of peace and happiness today.

Self-blame can feel like taking responsibility, but in reality, it often keeps us stuck in cycles of guilt and shame.
When we internalize every setback as our fault, we overlook the real factors that shape our experiences — and miss opportunities for growth.
Shifting from blame to understanding isn’t about avoiding accountability; it’s about creating the space to learn, heal, and move forward.
