What’s one small joy you’ve noticed this month?

Maybe it was a quiet morning, a deep breath, a laugh with a friend, or the way the sunlight hit the trees just right.

Noticing the little things helps us stay grounded and connected, even during tough times.

Drop an emoji in the comments that captures your small joy, or share it with us below. We’d love to hear what’s been bringing you a little light. ⬇️

In case you need to hear this today:

✨ Your worth isn't tied to what you achieve.
✨ Healing includes progress, setbacks, and pauses.

Be kind to yourself. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough.

Healing can be quiet, but powerful.

Before: Constantly anxious in silence.
After: Comfortable being alone.

It takes time, support, and self-compassion, but change is possible. However you’re feeling today, know that healing is not out of reach. You deserve peace.

Stress and trauma can impact how we feel, think, and connect with others. The Community Resiliency Model (CRM) teaches simple, science-backed tools to help calm the nervous system and return to a place of balance.

CRM training helps shift the focus from “What’s wrong?” to “What happened?” and “What helps you cope?”

Our next CRM training session is scheduled for July 21, 2025 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM at LifeBridge.

Now that we're halfway through 2025, it's a perfect time to to pause and ask yourself: how are you really doing?

You don’t need to have “crushed” your goals to be proud of yourself. This is your gentle reminder that reflection isn’t about fixing, it’s about noticing.

Save this post for your next quiet moment and take a breath before you keep going.

✨ 6 months down
☀️ What brought you peace?
💬 What drained you more than it should have?
🌱 What have you learned about yourself?
📌 What boundaries do you need to (re)set?

Drop your favorite reflection below, or share this with a friend who needs a pause. You don’t need a new year to begin again.

Burnout doesn’t always look like complete exhaustion. Sometimes it shows up in small ways that are easy to overlook.

✔️ Small tasks feel overwhelming
✔️ You feel numb or easily irritated
✔️ You avoid texts

If any of this feels familiar, it might be time to check in with yourself. Call us at 203-368-4291 or walk in today. Support is here when you need it.
