One thing we hear a lot inside of the therapy space is "this is hard". Yes, healing is hard. It is painful, messy, and chaotic. However, we consistently tell our clients "You've already survived". This is hard because it is hard, but you've already done hard things.

How you start your morning can be the precursor for the rest of your day. If we decide it is going to be a bad morning, it likely will be. Little boosts of intentionality can be the shift that your morning needs in order for you to feel more empowered, less overwhelmed, and overall more positive about your day.

➡ Take 10 minutes and stretch your body. Getting your muscles moving can not only feel good in the morning, but consistent stretching can lead to less aches and pains.
➡ Drink water (even before your coffee). It is not uncommon, especially for all the caregivers out there, to forget that you need water. Starting your day with water can be the positive shift your body needs in order to feel able to take on the day.
➡ Identify one intention for the day. Not only is this speaking into existence what you are going to do that day, but also is one achievable goal that you'll feel good about at the end of the day. By making this just one thing, it can feel less overwhelming and anything extra you do feels like icing on the cake!
➡ Step outside for a few minutes and listen. Being in nature can boost our mental health. Listening to nature sounds can be grounding and relaxing.
➡ Speak on good thing about your day. The power of positivity is huge. Identify one positive thing about yourself and say it out loud. It may feel silly, but if we don't speak positive things about ourselves, how are we expected to feel that when someone else does?

What is one part of your morning routine that supports you?

Seemingly a perfect post for labor day. Here is to all the people out there feeling like they aren't able to rest. The ones that are dealing with all the "shoulds":

👉I should be cleaning
👉I should be working
👉I should be "productive"

Rest is productive. Rest needs to happen, too. Work, cleaning, productivity, etc will all be there. And, we often feel more restored and productive after we have had a chance to rest!

So, what are you doing to rest today? What are you putting down in favor of picking up? 👇
