When your inner thoughts start taking a toll on your self-confidence and mood, you may find it’s easy to get caught in a spiral of negative self-talk. Negative self-talk not only affects your mental health, it also has an impact on your relationships. In order to get yourself out of that spiral, you have to work on flipping your thought patterns. Give yourself grace, knowing that this mental shift isn’t going to happen instantly. Work at looking at situations as the glass half-full versus half-empty. There is power in positive thinking.

As stress levels get high and negative self-talk wants to take over, slow down and take a deep breath. Redirect those negative thoughts and funnel that energy into more positive thoughts/actions, knowing that you’re working with a growth mindset.

Reach out if you’re struggling with flipping your negative self-talk. We’d love to help!

Coming to the realization that you may be the problem in your relationship can be difficult to accept. However, if you’re able to take responsibility and make a conscious effort to change your habits, it can be a huge positive step forward for your relationship.

Here are a few tips on how you can work to save your relationship:
1. Have an open and honest talk with your partner. Let them know what you’re concerned about and let them do the same!
2. Accept responsibility for your actions/emotions.
3. Acknowledge the pain your actions/emotions may have caused your partner.
4. Do a lot of self-reflection. What is causing these actions/emotions?
5. Talk with a professional. They can help you delve a little deeper into your thought processes.

Whether you’ve been emotionally distant, hyper-critical of your partner or holding your frustrations in, it’s time to accept that you may be causing the rift in your relationship. Once you do, you can take the necessary steps to improving yourself and patching up your relationship.

Father’s Day is just around the corner and can be a great reminder to check in with the new dads in your life, especially if you’re a father yourself. Whether they’re family or friends, take some time in the next few days to reach out and ask how life as a new dad has been for them so far. For some, it can be an overwhelmingly magical experience, while for others it can be an overwhelmingly difficult time.

It’s not uncommon for new fathers to struggle with their mental health when a baby arrives. They can feel all the same emotions a new mother feels... anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted and maybe even feelings of isolation. They also might be realizing how much their role has grown as they have another human being they’re responsible for on a regular basis.

Taking a few minutes out of your day to check in with them can make a big difference in how they feel. Be sure to let them know they’re not alone and have a listening ear whenever they need it. Reassure them that their village is there to help when they need it!

If you or someone you know is struggling with being a new father, reach out... We’d love to chat!
