ReLearning Human A psychotherapeutic space where human-ness explored, supported and met with compassion. We get zero guidance on how to be with our human experience.

And a million and one ways to escape it. Through awareness, acceptance and and practical tool development, ReLearning Human is your Psychotherapy guide into what it means to be human. Our team of therapists in Toronto and greater Ontario is committed to cultivating a therapeutic space that honours the human experience of our clients and ourselves. We value and practice true inclusivity and continu

Life is busy and we can get so caught up with this busyness that we forget to check in with ourselves. But this can lead to us getting more overwhelmed if we accidentally forget to meet our needs.

So, check in with yourself now and return to this practice when you can. It will help you see how you're doing in the moment and what you need, so you can take steps to meet those needs.

Does your mind feel scattered or are you feeling off-balance? Coming back to your breath and using affirming statements can help bring you back to your centre.

I am grounded
I am safe
I am returning back to my centre

Our breath and the thoughts we choose to focus on are tools we have access to all the time. We can continuously sharpen these tools in order to come back to our centre.

If you are feeling all over the place, try bringing awareness to your breath and speak these words to yourself. You can come back to your centre.

We can't control the events around us, no matter how much we want or try to, and while this can be difficult to face, sometimes things just happen. What we can work on controlling is how we react to them, the actions we take and how we let these events impact us. And while human emotions are a part of the experience, there are ways we can learn to cope in the face of more complicated emotional experiences.

But you don't have to do this work alone. If you're thinking of exploring therapy, you can connect with our therapists through the link in bio.

Yes, a reminder we can't control everything. This is not easy to accept, however, by focusing your energy and mind on the things that you can control can offer a sense of relief. We are not meant to do everything, manage others emotions, be perfect so nothing goes "wrong." These learnings and narratives we have of ourselves often lead to actions and behaviours that could be seen as controlling, inflexible, rigid etc. Leaves little to no room for flexibility and this takes a toll on our mental health and has an impact to those around us.

Focus your energy on what you can control. You will soon find out that besides your actions and what you say, you do not control much more than that. And that's OK.

Try this practice now. Pick a colour and a number and look around you for that many items in the colour you chose. This mental game grounding exercise can be useful at bringing us back to our environment and distracts us momentarily from thoughts and worries.

Keeping grounding exercises like this one in our toolbox can be useful in coming back to the present when our mind is caught up on the past or anxious about the future.

We speak about vulnerability a whole lot. To be vulnerable when we feel safe around people, that transparency, honesty and expressing our feelings is necessary. However, this practice can only start if we are vulnerable with ourself first and foremost.

We stay away from this practice because most of the time we feel we will need to take action once we reflect and gain more self-awareness. You do not have to do anything. Gaining more insight, recognizing and accepting all parts of you is what keeps us moving forward and growing as human beings.

When we begin to nourish our connections to others, we learn more about ourselves and the things that allow us to grow. But it is also through working on ourselves (in whatever way this looks like for you) that we will be able to form more meaningful connections with others. This relationship creates a cycle between a connection with others and our own growth — as both of these are critical for our overall well-being.

What would this connection look like for you?

When's the last time you sat down with your friend or family member without having your phone close by? Or without showing them something on your phone (the latest reel, new fashion fad, this post? Lol).

Humans feel a sense of connection mostly through being present. Eye contact, your tone of voice, body language all help in creating safety and trust in relationships. You also create more opportunities for self-reflection and a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings - which, in result, could help you be more empathetic towards others. Compassion also fuels connection. When we're not looking at a screen and looking at the person, you're letting them know that they matter.

Try this now and see how it feels. Do you notice anything?

Grounding exercises like this one can work to shift our focus from what is causing us anxiety, while also regulating our nervous system. And by using our muscles in particular, it can help to release some of the tension we store in our bodies when stressed.

If you're feeling stressed and want to explore therapy, connect with our therapists through the link in bio.

The follow through is often the most difficult part. Not the knowing. It's important to pay attention to that inner voice. We often lose touch with ourselves and let the external noises, voices (i.e.- people's opinions, judgments, etc.) get in the way and silence our own voice. Try and get back to your centre and pay attention. Breathe, sit quietly when you are confused about something and listen. The answers are not outside yourself.

Getting to know yourself is crucial for self-growth and expansion. Working with a therapist can help facilitate questions and join this dialogue with you of self-discovery. If you want to connect, you can reach out to our therapists through the link in bio.

When was the last time you did something that brought you joy?

As we get older, our daily responsibilities can lead us to getting distracted from doing the things that bring us joy. But that doesn't mean that it becomes less important to nourish that part of ourselves. So here is your reminder to take the time to do the things that bring you joy, it's important to make room for joy in your life.

Stepping outside our comfort zone helps us challenge our brain and skill set. It can take us out of the mundane day to day routine. And our brain loves routine! But this can lead to stagnation. Trying something new can shake things up, helps to uncover new interests, hobbies and passions. Go ahead, try something new today, give yourself the opportunity to keep life interesting and to keep growing.
