“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness ~ it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude”
- Brené Brown

For me, the night sky offers so many awe-inspiring moments 💫
I am thankful to enjoy time in nature with my family and truly appreciate the warmth of the morning sun after a cold night tenting with my daughter 🏕️ Not everyone loves sleeping out in the cold…and that’s ok 🙂 Everyone deserves a warm, safe space to rest and the choice to sleep outside.

Whatever you are doing this weekend, I wish you moments that spark joy and gratitude 🫶🏻

Our office had a little surprise and extra attention today with the Moncton Car Show/Atlantic Nationals in town. I love seeing so many beautiful classic cars and trucks around the city. They spark many different emotions for people: joy, curiosity, excitement - not to mention memories and connections to others. A good reminder of how important play is in our lives.

Very thankful for a fantastic opportunity to train in Nature Therapy, with Dr. Moire Stevenson in Montreal, QC, with an incredible group of counsellors/psychotherapists and psychologists. The benefits of nature-therapy is truly inspiring and underestimated. Happy to have a beautiful lake and to enjoy before heading home and taking time for a short break to explore Bas-St.-Laurent on the drive home. Some very proud moments of pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones and working through challenges together mixed with some beautiful moments in nature 🍂

The emotion volcano eruption can sneak up anytime, anywhere, and to any of us…especially when ADHD is riding shotgun…even to therapists who work on grounding & coping strategies regularly! Sometimes life gets super overwhelming or frustrations become too much! When this happens (like it did for me today) it’s natural to cry and need extra support! It can help to name the feeling and know what you typically do when you feel this emotional eruption…hmm, I know I am a more aggressive driver, I spend impulsively, I get into arguments, I shut down, say mean things about myself or others, or I commit to things I don’t actually want to do 🤨 when you acknowledge this out loud, it can help you manage the overflow as you ease back towards a regulated state 😮‍💨

BENEFITS OF RECESS AS A REGULATION TOOL FOR KIDS
