Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many.

We urge those who may struggle with this holiday to dedicate some time to create a plan to help yourself out today.

Okay, so maybe joy doesn’t just ‘come’ in the morning (we WISH it were that simple!), but can we cultivate it?
Can we take an extra moment to enjoy that first sip of hot coffee just a moment longer? Or switch the first-thing morning social scroll for a moment or two of reading?

What are those smallest things that light us up? Can we create small moments of joy for ourselves to bring some light to our own day? It’s worth a try, if you ask us

We know how easy it is to get overwhelmed thinking about a task. Sometimes the task itself takes less time or effort to complete than it would to procrastinate!
Something we find helpful is to really know what you’re dealing with: how long will it actually take, and what will it actually entail to complete?
Once you know exactly what you’re up against, it may a whole lot easier to take that first step. And from there, it’s just one foot in front of the other.

You don’t need to celebrate love for yourself on just one day.
Here’s a little reminder from us to you, on a day dedicated to everyone else—give some extra love to yourself, too!
Whether you’re celebrating with anyone else (little humans and furry friends included!) or not, we can always use a little extra self love. You deserve it, we promise.

Getting started can be half the battle.
Here’s a tip: give yourself ten minutes to work on the task. Sometimes even using a timer can help!
Try to commit to just that ten minutes, with the idea that if after ten minutes you really cannot complete the task, you can stop.
When you get started, you may find that you complete it much more easily or quickly than you thought. If not, well, you’re at least ten minutes closer to getting it done.

Procrastination is stress relief in disguise. It’s a sign that we are in need of relief, and compassion, rather than discipline. Here’s the thing, though: the stress relief we’re seeking when we use procrastination is often short-lived. The stressors come back, often having compounded. With a couple of tweaks, modifying the ways that procrastination is used as a coping skill may help make the stress relief long-lasting, rather than short-term relief that results in an even bigger pile of stress we’ve pushed just a bit further up the road.

So, instead of getting stuck in the frustration, is there a different approach you could be using? If you struggle with procrastination, what’s something that has helped you? Share below so we can support others!

This holiday season may not bring all happiness.

With all the warm and fuzzies flying around instagram this weekend, we wanted to take a moment to talk gratitude. If you’re just not feelin’ it this year, that’s okay! It’s normal to not feel that with all the upcoming holiday crazy and, well, the past few years we’ve had.
🤍
Give yourself grace, take a couple moments to take a grounding breath and find whatever little kernels of gratitude you can, and then move forward with your day the best that you can.
🤍
Stay tuned for our post next week about your emotional accounting, it’s going to be a good one

Happy World Kindness Day, everyone! It’s something so simple yet so very crucial these days. We talk about communication all the time around here, so remember to choose kindness first.
We noticed posted his words “simplify, slow down, be kind” this morning, and we’re taking that to heart today. Giving ourselves those extra moments to be able to act from a place of kindness can be so impactful.
Have a wonderful (and kind!) rest of your weekend 🤍

You've probably heard this from every therapist ever, but it's an adage because it's true! How we communicate with ourselves is others is so incredibly impactful on our quality of life. It's almost surprising how direct the correlation is. How are you communicating with yourself? When was the last time you checked in with your partner? What about the last time you thought about how are you approaching those conversations?

While we learn to navigate the new and ongoing changes to our lives, it is important that we continue to care for ourselves. Now, and even before 2020, there are a couple things that can make going to therapy more difficult. Telehealth is one solution to many of these obstacles that made seeking therapy inaccessible to so many. For many, there are physical (and even emotional!) limitations preventing them from seeking help. Our goal is to help you get past life’s obstacles and help you to be the best version of yourself.

Even if you can find the extra time in your day for therapy, often finding the time for commuting, child care, etc is just out of reach. Luckily, telehealth with Insightful Family Therapy comes to you, so there’s always time to keep therapy, and YOU, in your routine.
