🪞🧠 Behavior is a mirror in which everyone displays their image. 🧠🪞

Our actions often reflect our internal thoughts and feelings. At Calm Seas Therapy I can teach you to be mindful of this reflection and make positive changes for personal growth and well-being.

🌟💭 Thoughts are not facts. 💭🌟

This powerful CBT principle reminds us that our thoughts are interpretations, not direct reflections of reality. At Calm Seas Therapy I can help you challenge and reframe negative thoughts, so you can change your emotional responses and behaviors for a healthier mindset.

When you were born, you were placed into a family for a season of time to help you grow into a mature adult. At some point this season ends, and your relationship with your parents changes from child-to-parent to adult-to-adult. The roles change from dependency and authority to mutuality. While you are to respect and care for your mother and father, you are no longer under their protection and tutelage. Children are to obey parents, while adult children are to love and honor them. Therefore, situations will occur where you need to make decisions and set boundaries with family with which they may not agree. Visit Boundaries.me to learn ways to set healthy boundaries with your family this holiday season.

🌈🌟 Feelings are not final. 🌟🌈

Emotions are transient and don't define our future. At Calm Seas Therapy I can help you understand and manage your emotions, acknowledging them without being overwhelmed. It's about finding balance and moving forward.

🌟 Mindfulness at Calm Seas Therapy 🌟

Did you know that even a few minutes of mindfulness each day can significantly improve your mental health? Today, I’m sharing a simple yet powerful mindfulness exercise that you can do anywhere, anytime.

🍃 5 4 3 2 1 - Grounding Technique 🍃

This technique will bring you back to the present moment and help reduce feelings of anxiety.

5: Acknowledge FIVE things you see around you 👁️

It could be a bird, a pencil, or simply the clouds in the sky.

4: Notice FOUR things you can touch around you 🤚🏻

Maybe your hair, a pillow, or the ground under your feet.

3: Focus on THREE things you hear 👂🏻

This could be any external sound. If you can hear more than three, that’s great too!

2: Acknowledge TWO things you can smell 👃🏻

Maybe you smell soap in your bathroom or coffee in the kitchen.

1: Acknowledge ONE thing you can taste 👅

What does the inside of your mouth taste like—gum, coffee, or the sandwich you just had?

🌊 Let me know how this exercise works for you and remember, at Calm Seas Therapy, I’m here to support your journey towards mental wellness. For more personalized techniques and support, reach out!

🌊 Calm Seas Therapy Update 🌊

"Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." - William James, a pioneer in American psychology, reminds us of the power of acceptance in our healing journey.

In the midst of life's storms, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the waves of emotions and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. But as James wisely points out, accepting our reality - no matter how difficult - is the key to moving forward.

At Calm Seas Therapy, we embrace this philosophy in our approach. Acceptance is not about giving up; it's about facing our challenges head-on and finding ways to navigate through them. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or any other mental health challenges, remember that acceptance is your first step towards a brighter, calmer future.

If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to embark on this journey with you. Together, let's turn the tides and sail towards healing and resilience.

What's empowering is knowing that each of us has the power to change our thoughts. By consciously steering our mind towards more uplifting and empowering ideas, we can truly change our world for the better. Let's embrace this power and create a ripple effect in our lives and the lives of those around us 🔆
