Alexander Counseling Center

01/25/2026

Lately it feels like everyone is carrying a little more than usual. The news cycle is heavy. Schedules are full. Finances, family responsibilities, health worries, world events—it all adds up. If you’ve noticed your stress levels creeping higher or your anxiety feeling harder to shake, you’re not weak… you’re human.

You are not alone in this. So many people are quietly doing their best while feeling overwhelmed inside.

When things start to feel out of control, it can help to gently shift attention back to what is within your reach:
• Take a few slow, steady breaths and let your shoulders drop
• Step outside for a short walk or get a bit of sunlight
• Limit how much news or social media you consume for the day
• Make a short list of what actually needs your energy right now
• Do one small thing that brings your nervous system a sense of safety—music, a warm drink, stretching, calling someone you trust

Small moments of steadiness really do matter.

And if things feel like too much to hold on your own, you don’t have to. Support is available, and reaching out is a strong and courageous step.

If you or someone you love could use extra support right now, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help. 💛 Alexander Counseling Center, 541-826-8282 or visit us online at www.alexandercounseling.org

It’s easy to get caught up in the noise, the challenges, and the “what ifs” of life. But even on the toughest days, there are still quiet, beautiful moments waiting to be noticed—
✨ A smile from someone you love
✨ The warmth of your coffee in the morning
✨ The way sunlight filters through the trees
✨ A kind word from a stranger
When the world feels heavy, take a moment to pause and look for the good. Your mind will follow where your attention goes—so choose to notice the things that lift you up.
You can’t always control what happens, but you can choose what you focus on. And that choice can change everything. 💛

💙 A gentle reminder for today 💙
You are not behind. You are not broken. You are simply on your own unique path — and that is exactly where you’re meant to be right now.

Healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some days you’ll feel strong and grounded; other days you may feel like you’re back at square one. Both are part of the process.

Celebrate the small steps: the times you set a boundary, reached out for help, chose rest over burnout, or simply made it through the day. Those moments matter more than you realize.

✨ Be patient with yourself.
✨ Speak to yourself with kindness.
✨ Remember that even on your hardest days, you are worthy of compassion and care.

If today feels heavy, know that you are not alone — there are people who care and want to walk this path with you. Your story isn’t over, and there is hope ahead. 💙

Feeling overwhelmed? Try these quick coping strategies to ground and calm your mind:
✋ 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding: Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste.
🧘 Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4. Repeat 3x to reset your nervous system.
📓 Write it out: Get thoughts out of your head and onto paper. No filter needed.
🚶‍♀️ Move your body: A quick walk, stretch, or dance break can ease tension fast.
🎧 Tune in: Calming music, nature sounds, or guided meditations can help shift your mood.
💬 These tools don’t fix everything—but they can help in the moment. And if you’re ready for more support, we have immediate Telehealth openings for Jackson Care Connect members. You're not alone.
