Realistic mindfulness means making it fit into your life style and right now we all have a messy life. In these moments you can find ways to self soothing in a quick 5 minute break.
You can listen to your favorite song and focus on all the instruments.🎧
Not feeling like music? Try to take some deep breaths or stretch your body.
Need a hug? Maybe try a butterfly hug! You can take your hands and cross them at your thumbs then place them on your chest sharing affirmations with yourself. 👐
No time, like at all? Focus on providing self-compassion to yourself. Talk to yourself like you would a friend, be curious without judgement about your emotions, and allow your self permission to show up as you are!
Let’s be honest December is often such a busy, stressful month and building our self care tool box is needed.
Our clinicians have openings (even evening openings!) you can sn**ch up to build your tool box a little more! Connect at www.balancedlifegr.com

What winter cookie are you indulging in this month? 🍪️
Embracing boundaries is the greatest gift you can give yourself! It's about respecting your thoughts, ideas, and emotions, while honoring those of others.
Intellectual boundaries empower you to own your thoughts.
Financial boundaries help you prioritize your spending and expectations. Emotional boundaries give you the space to feel your emotions freely without judgement.
Time boundaries allow you to prioritize your energy and live life on your own terms!
You deserve to live a life that sparks joy and fulfillment. Need guidance on setting healthy boundaries or want support in maintaining them? Reach out to our compassionate clinicians at www.balancedlifegr.com and start living the life you deserve! 💕

‼Insurance alert‼
Did you know your deductible is like a New Year's resolution - it resets every year? Often this happens in January for the majority of insurance, sometimes it may be a different month. The reset can change your co-pays or session fees. Double check your insurance plan this month. Have specific questions? Connect with out clinicians at www.balancedlifegr.com

What's going on in play therapy sessions?
Total chaos... just kidding! 😂 Sort of.
Okay, so here's an example of before and after one of our clinician's play therapy sessions with a mini human. You'll spot some rad sensory toys, fidgets, and crafts that help tiny humans regulate their emotions and spill the tea. Play is like, the ultimate language of kids, and play therapy gives them a safe space to express themselves. Ever wondered what play therapy can do for your little one? Hit up one of our clinicians at www.balancedlifegr.com to schedule a chat!

You did it! You made it through another month full of love, stress, and growth.
As we are entering the last month of the year you may be feeling overwhelmed, excited, or even indifferent. Give yourself permission to show up how you need to, but do not underestimate yourself this month!
💕Give yourself the love, space, and empathy you give those around you, you deserve it too! 💕
We may all be in different places this month, but we are all in this together. To add to your support people or even find a place to rant and express all those holiday stress emotions, visit www.balancedlifegr.com!

Today, we honor the resilience, beauty, and truth of Indigenous LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit young people.

Many face disproportionate structural inequalities, anti-LGBTQ+ violence, and disproportionately high rates of mental health struggles.

But we also know: support saves lives. Among Native LGBTQ+ youth, those who felt genuine family support had far lower rates of su***de attempts (13%) compared to 24% for those who did not.

This Native American Heritage Day, we don’t just remember culture — we demand justice. We advocate for Indigenous LGBTQ+ youth. We fight for their safety, their mental health, their dignity.

A reminder for today and every day: Extend love. Give support. Protect each other. 🌿🧡🌈

Let's get real, who hasn't felt like they're supposed to be a superhero 24/7, saving the world one task at a time, and still managing to look flawless while doing it? 😪
But newsflash: self care isn't slacking off, it's actually a superpower that allows you to recharge and come back stronger than ever!
Think about it, when was the last time you took a step back, breathed, and prioritized your own well-being? 🤔
What's your go-to self care move to refill yours? Do you indulge in a relaxing bath, practice yoga, or simply take a few minutes each day to meditate and clear your mind? Share with us your favorite self care rituals!
Visit www.balancedlifegr.com to build your self care plan with one of our clinicians!
