This or That Tuesday

Stress has a way of sneaking into our minds and bodies, but how we respond can make all the difference.

Two simple tools many people turn to are:

Journaling – Writing down your thoughts can create space in your mind, help you process emotions, and bring clarity to overwhelming situations.

Music – Whether it’s calming, energizing, or nostalgic, music can shift your mood, regulate your nervous system, and remind you that you’re not alone.

Both are powerful ways to care for your mental health, and neither has to be perfect or time-consuming to make an impact.

So, which one helps you reset when stress feels heavy—journaling or music?

Your mental health matters, not just today, but every single day. Here are 5 gentle ways to check in with yourself today:

1️⃣ Pause & Breathe – Take 3 slow breaths. Notice how your body feels.
2️⃣ Check Your Energy – Ask yourself: Am I tired, restless, or steady?
3️⃣ Name Your Emotions – Put a word to what you’re feeling—no judgment, just awareness.
4️⃣ Move Your Body – A stretch, a walk, even standing up counts.
5️⃣ Connect – Reach out to a friend, journal, or spend time in nature.

✨ Remember: Small check-ins add up. You deserve care, every day.

As the days get shorter and the weather cools, it’s common to notice changes in mood, energy, or anxiety levels. You’re not alone in this.

Here are 3 gentle ways to support yourself this season:

1️⃣ Light & Movement – Spend time outdoors during daylight or try a sunrise lamp. Movement, even a short walk, can boost energy.
2️⃣ Routine Check-In – Adjust sleep and meal times to align with earlier sunsets. Structure helps reduce overwhelm.
3️⃣ Cozy Connection – Balance downtime with connection. A call, a coffee date, or even texting a friend can ease feelings of isolation.

The season will keep shifting, but you can, too. What helps you feel grounded as fall settles in?

Research continues to show that journaling is more than just putting thoughts on paper. It’s a powerful tool for both mental and physical well-being.

Many people find that writing regularly helps them break cycles of overthinking, build self-awareness, and uncover patterns in their thoughts and behaviors. Over time, this process supports personal growth and healing through gentle self-reflection.

The benefits don’t stop with mental health. Journaling has been shown to strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure and heart rate, and reduce stress in ways that promote better sleep and healthier daily habits.

You don’t need hours a day to experience these effects; even 15–20 minutes a few times a week can make a meaningful difference.

Sometimes the smallest practices lead to the biggest shifts.

One practice we often suggest to clients is keeping a gratitude journal. It’s simple, but the impact can be profound. Writing down just a few things you’re thankful for each day helps shift the brain’s focus from what’s missing or stressful to what’s steady, supportive, and meaningful.

Why it works:
✨ Gratitude changes our perspective, even in hard seasons.
✨ It helps calm the nervous system and lower stress.
✨ Over time, it builds resilience by training the mind to notice what’s good.

This doesn’t mean ignoring challenges, it means creating space for both the difficult and the hopeful. Gratitude journaling is a way of reminding ourselves that even on tough days, moments of light still exist.

Start small: jot down three things before bed, or keep a notebook in your bag to capture moments of appreciation throughout the day.

Your journal doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.

🍂 Mindfulness Practices for Fall 🍂

Fall invites us to slow down and be present. The crisp air, colorful leaves, and shorter days are gentle reminders to pause and notice the moment. Here are a few simple ways to bring mindfulness into your season:

🍁 Savor the senses: Notice the crunch of leaves under your feet, the warmth of a mug in your hands, or the smell of autumn spices.
🍁 Ground with breath: As the air turns cooler, take a few intentional breaths outside and feel the shift in your body. 🍁 Reflect with the season: Just as nature lets go of what no longer serves it, consider what you might release to create space for rest and renewal.
🍁 Create cozy rituals: Light a candle, journal by the window, or enjoy a slow walk. Small routines can anchor you in presence.

Mindfulness isn’t about perfection, it’s about gently returning to the here and now.

Mental Health Myth: Therapy is only for people with “serious” mental illness.

Fact: Therapy can be beneficial for anyone.

Yes, therapy is a powerful tool for treating conditions like depression and anxiety, but it’s also incredibly useful for navigating everyday stressors: work challenges, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply wanting to grow more self-aware.

Think of therapy like going to the gym. You don’t have to wait until you’re injured to start exercising. You go to strengthen, prevent, and build resilience. In the same way, therapy helps “strengthen” your mind by reshaping thought patterns, fostering healthier coping strategies, and increasing your brain’s ability to adapt and grow (thanks to something called neuroplasticity).

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes the most powerful changes happen when you give yourself permission to grow before you feel stuck.

It’s compassionate, practical, and a reminder that you don’t have to push harder to feel better. You need tools to complete the stress cycle and find rest.

If you’ve ever felt like burnout is chasing you, this one’s worth a read (or listen!).
