Christmas can be joyful and can also be a difficult time for some. It can bring out the best in people and can also bring out the worst in others. Remember to be kind with your internal dialogue, be patient and flexible with yourself and the little ones around you, and to not be afraid to use healthy boundaries when needed.

A small Christmas challenge for you all: try to notice 3 beautiful, happy, joyful, kind moments around you during the holiday season. This will help you notice the good that might be happening around you (big or small).

I will also be taking some time off over the holidays and will be returning Jan 6th. I will do my best to respond to all msgs when I can.
I appreciate your understanding and patience over the holidays.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy Friday! ☀️

Today we will focus on being kind to ourselves.

The biggest culprit to being unkind to our selves are our thoughts. Our thoughts have the biggest impact and we want to shift them to something that is kinder.
If you need some motivation to do just that, give Pink’s song “f**cking perfect” a listen. Vers 2 and pre-chorus2 says the following :
You’re so mean, when you talk.
About yourself, you were wrong.
Change the voices, in your head, make them like you instead.
So complicated, look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game. It’s enough, I’ve done all I can think of.
Chased down all my demons, I’ve seen you do the same….”

Take a moment to shift any unhelpful thoughts. Here are some examples if needed:
- this isn’teasy but I can do my best
- I’ve gotten through difficult times before and can get through this.
- Even though I feel worried, I can still have fun.
- I don’t have to be perfect.
- I’m nervous but I can handle it.
- I can choose to be brave.

Day 4 of mental health week.

Today, I want you to think of a place that makes you feel safe and calm. Close your eyes and take a moment to just be in this place.
Now, I want you to notice how this place makes you feel, notice any smells, textures. Whether it’s bright or dark, warm/hot or cold. Notice any sounds that might be around. Notice how it all makes you feel.
Now take some time to enjoy being there.

When you’re done, tell me how your place makes you feel by commenting below!
