When anxiety takes over, our bodies have a difficult time differentiating between what is a “real” threat versus what’s not.

How does your nervous system react to a perceived threat?

Feelings Part 38: Anxious ☸️ 😟
Do any of these sound like you?
▫️Constant worrying
▫️ Difficulty sleeping
▫️ Needing reassurance
▫️ Trouble concentrating and staying in the present moment
▫️ Avoidance
If you said yes to any of these, you may be feeling anxious.
Anxiety can show up in many parts of our lives, from our internal thoughts to how we communicate with other people. Some anxiety is a normal response to a stressful situation. But when our body and mind run on autopilot in anxiety mode, there is usually more under the surface. The root can sometimes be fear, uncertainty, insecurity, perfectionism, or a lack of control.

Feelings Part 37: Amazed 🛞
If you stopped scrolling to read this, don’t forget to tell yourself that you are amazing. 🌟
Whether it’s something as simple and beautiful as watching the sunset, or when you surprise yourself with an outcome that turned out better than you expected, moments of amazement can be found all around us if we look for them. The feeling of amazement brings us back into the present moment and reminds us to express gratitude for the things in life that we sometimes take for granted.
What was the last thing you felt amazed by? Comment below!

Feelings Part 36: Busy ☸️😵‍💫
You know that feeling where your brain is always on, but you are physically tired? 🪫 Or when the To Do List gets longer faster than you can cross things off of it? That’s the feeling of busyness, and it may not be as productive as you may think.
In a world where something is always trying to get your attention, or multitasking pulls you in too many directions at once, it can feel difficult not to be busy at times. This is especially true in a society where being busy feels like a badge of honor, as we try to show how much we can handle. But let’s ask ourselves a few questions:
❓ What’s really essential in this moment, and what can afford to wait?
⌚ Have I budgeted some time to rest my mind and body?
❓ Am I being intentional and truly productive when I am staying busy, or are there unnecessary things that can be taken off my plate?
🔎 Is staying busy making me avoid other things in my life that are difficult to face?
The reality is that we may not be able to create as much free time as we want. But we can evaluate what is within our control to be more intentional with our time. Doing so creates more physical, mental, and emotional energy for the other things that truly matter to us, and we can all use more of that. 🔋

You know the feeling you get after you leave a social event, date or meeting and you’re just replaying every part of the interaction and the overthinking kicks in? Those moments are the WORST and it’s so hard to think about anything else. Like why did we say (or do) that!? 🤦‍♀️😩

You know the feeling?

You said yes.
You dragged yourself to get ready.
You ultimately had a great time while there.

But the relief when you get home is something else.
🤦🏼‍♀️

Don’t avoid going places if you tend to have the Introvert Dread.

It’s still important to leave the house!

But it’s okay to also be grateful to get home and recharge.

2 things can be true😉

Is it just me or are we all ready for spring and a change of seasons???

Spring is such a great symbol of change, feeling refreshed and full of hope for warmer, nicer weather.

Use this “bingo card” to give you some ideas for making the most of the new season & looking ahead toward something brighter.

Fellow therapists, do you ever have those moments when you feel like your own thoughts are compartmentalized for the day, and then, once work is done and the world goes quiet, the thoughts start flooding back in? 💭
You’re not alone.
You’re balancing your personal life and a career that carries a heavy mental and emotional load while navigating what's happening in the world around you. Even though we share the sleep tips and help guide our clients through their own insomnia and anxiety, it can be humbling when we have to hold space for ourselves. The irony isn’t lost on us.

So the next time the racing thoughts come back while we’re lying in bed awake, don’t forget to remind yourself to:
🌟Schedule your own worry time before bed
🌟Practice some gentle movement before lying down
🌟Be mindful of countertransference

If you're a therapist who struggles with sleep and racing thoughts, what do you do to help quiet your mind before bed? 🌙
