Looking forward to therapy can be hard. An hour spent delving into heavy topics and confronting difficult truths may not sound like the most fun way to spend the afternoon, but what if it didn’t have to feel that way?

Our first blog post of the new year, “Why Lightness Matters: Using Play and Fun in Occupational Therapy” Occupational Therapist Michelle explores just how these two could interest: healing and fun. In the blog, she discusses finding the benefits to incorporating play and fun, not just in therapy, but in life in general.

‘Fun’ and ‘therapy’ aren't two words you often see together. However, incorporating fun and play into therapy can help make your sessions be more insightful, healing, and, of course, fun.

In our latest blog post “Why Lightness Matters: Using Play and Fun in Occupational Therapy”, OT Michelle explores how making therapy sessions fun can make the tougher topics easier to carry, and how even moments of “micro-play” throughout the day can give your brain the rest and reset it needs to work at its best.

To learn more about what this could look like in session, schedule a consultation call to talk directly with our providers and find the best support for your needs.

So, what’s your screen time?

Having a low screen time isn’t just something to brag to friends and family about; it’s scientifically proven to have profoundly positive effects on your mental health.

Everyday, more and more people are stepping back from streaming, social media, and smartphones in preference to an analog life. And since screens are so deeply ingrained into our day-to-day, here are some easy, analog switches to try this week. Incorporating these often leads to:

🎮 More creativity
🎮 Extra free time
🎮 Increased mental clarity
🎮 Better mood

And if you want to take it a step further, having a mental health or occupational therapy to check-in with, especially if you find you’re struggling with more than just a high screen time, can prove helpful. Click the link in our bio to learn more about how Thrive Ahead Co. could accompany you on your analog journey.

A new year doesn’t have to mean a new you.

It can simply mean more compassion, clearer boundaries, and a little more room to breathe.

So whether you’re setting intentions, staying exactly where you are, or taking things one day at a time, all of it counts.

Here’s to moving into the new year with curiosity instead of pressure, and care.

We’re grateful to be part of your journey. 🎇

Hi. 👋 How are you really doing this season?

Between gatherings, expectations, and end-of-year reflection, it’s easy to put yourself last. This is your reminder that rest is allowed, boundaries are okay, and checking in with yourself matters, especially now.

Save this post to reflect on during a moment of peace during the holidays. ⭐

Winter doesn’t ask the same thing of everyone.

For some, it’s a season of rest and recovery.
For others, it’s a time to reflect, reset, and gently move forward.
Both are valid. Both are forms of self-care.

The most supportive choice is the one that meets you where you are. ❄️

To some, watching snow fall from the window, holding a warm mug of hot cocoa, wrapped in a blanket with a roaring fire sounds like the ideal evening. For others, the start of winter signals gloomier days.
