Today is International Stress Awareness Day, a reminder that stress affects all of us, no matter who we are or where we live.

Stress shows up quietly at first: tension in your shoulders, restless thoughts before bed, snapping at loved ones when you don’t mean to. When it lingers too long, it can become something heavier... chronic anxiety, burnout, or exhaustion that feels impossible to shake.

When the clocks turn back, your body and mind notice - even if it seems like a small change. Less daylight, colder weather, and disrupted sleep patterns can quietly increase anxiety or leave you feeling off-balance.

If you’re noticing more restlessness, fatigue, or irritability this time of year, you’re not alone. This seasonal shift affects your cortisol levels, sleep cycle, and overall rhythm, and it’s okay to need time to adjust.

Now’s a good time to re-ground yourself in habits that support calm and stability: steady sleep routines, movement during daylight hours, mindful moments before bed, and counseling.

For many parents, the excitement of trick-or-treating comes with a wave of what ifs: What if my child gets lost? What if I’m not there to protect them? What if something goes wrong while they’re out?

Anxiety often shows up when the line between safety and trust feels uncertain. Letting kids explore the world can be both rewarding and uncomfortable, and that’s okay. It’s normal to want your child to be safe while also learning independence.

If your “what ifs” feel louder than the fun, you’re not alone.

Progress doesn’t always look like big wins. It often looks like just keeping pace.

Whether you’re on the treadmill, showing up to class, or managing another long week, steady effort still counts. When you’re driven, it’s easy to overlook what you’ve already accomplished in pursuit of the next milestone. But consistency, not perfection, is what leads to growth. If you’re learning to recognize progress in the process itself, not just the finish line, we’re here to support you.

Sometimes procrastination isn’t about laziness, it’s about avoidance. When a task feels overwhelming or the fear of not doing it “perfectly” kicks in, it can feel safer to put it off. For a moment, that delay brings relief. But soon, anxiety creeps back in, stronger than before.

Understanding why procrastination shows up is the first step toward breaking the cycle. At Rise Up, we work with clients to uncover the patterns beneath anxiety and build confidence in taking action, one small step at a time.

Fall is here, and with the shorter days and shifting routines, it’s easy to let your own needs slip to the side. But nourishment isn’t just about food, it’s about how you care for both your body and your mind.

This season, give yourself permission to:
🟣 Choose meals that fuel you instead of skipping when you’re stressed.
🟣 Spend time outside, even on cooler days, to keep your energy steady.
🟣 Make space for practices that calm your mind. Whether it’s journaling, movement, or connection with others.

The way you nurture yourself today can shape how you weather the darker months ahead. If anxiety or stress makes it hard to care for yourself consistently, that’s where counseling comes in.

Today is Unity Day, a national day of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

It’s a reminder that the way we treat each other matters, at home, in schools, at work, and in our communities. Anxiety, isolation, and loneliness grow where people feel unseen or unsafe, but small acts of compassion can make a lasting difference.

At Rise Up, we believe that feeling connected is one of the most powerful protective factors for mental health. Together, we can build communities where everyone feels valued and supported.

🧡 To show your support, wear orange today and stand for unity.

“What if I pass out?”

For many, this is a real fear when it comes to vaccines.. whether it’s the flu shot, a COVID booster, or any medical appointment that involves needles. As flu season approaches, it’s important to remember that these worries aren’t unusual. Anxiety can trigger strong physical sensations like a racing heart, dizziness, and sweating, that feel like you might faint, even if your body is safe.

Counseling at Rise Up can give you tools to manage these anxious responses, so medical care doesn’t feel overwhelming. Whether you or your child are dreading an upcoming shot, you don’t have to face that fear on repeat.

Curiosity builds bridges. Assumptions build walls.

When it comes to communicating with your kids or teens, it can be tempting to jump to conclusions, especially when emotions run high or behavior feels confusing. But taking a step back, asking questions, and showing curiosity can create connection instead of conflict.

At Rise Up, we offer counseling for the whole family, for parents, or for kids and teens individually. Together, we can strengthen communication patterns and create healthier ways to navigate the stressors of daily life.

There’s a difference between being detail-oriented and being stuck in the cycle of perfectionism. Striving for excellence can be healthy, but when the drive to “get it right” every time becomes fueled by fear of mistakes, judgment, or not being good enough, it’s no longer just productivity. It’s anxiety in disguise.

Perfectionism as a coping mechanism often feels like control, but it comes at a cost: exhaustion, self-criticism, and never feeling satisfied. The good news? It doesn’t have to stay that way. With the right support, you can step out of that pressure and learn to recognize when “doing your best” is enough.

Starting college means new freedoms, and new challenges. Between classes, social life, and responsibilities, it’s easy to let routines slide. But the habits you build now can shape not just your semester, but your well-being.

Healthy routines, like consistent sleep, balanced nutrition, movement, and downtime, don’t just support academic success. They create stability when everything else feels uncertain. If you’re finding it tough to manage the transition or stick to routines, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🌍💚

Observed every year on October 10, this international day is dedicated to education, awareness, and advocacy against the stigma that still surrounds mental health. It’s a reminder that conversations about mental well-being should never be hidden, minimized, or treated as less important than physical health.

At Rise Up, we believe access to care, compassion, and understanding should be universal. Anxiety is treatable. Support is powerful. And every step taken to reduce stigma opens the door for someone else to find their way from feeling defeated, to grounded, to thriving.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to prioritize your mental health, let today be that reminder. Head to our website to schedule your free 15-minute consultation today to see if Rise Up is right for you.
