One of the things that I love about being a therapist is that I can help clients create a secret safe space to explore the changes they want to make.

It’s ok if they stutter-step when you show up differently. Your changes mean they need to adapt as well.

...because societal measures of success often don’t line up with what we need to live a healthy, satisfying life.
..because focusing on what others think of us turns us away from tuning into the wisdom inside of ourselves.
..because discernment requires us to slow down our decisions so we can sort through the nuance of values, thoughts, and feelings.

Caption [it’s hard to get to wisdom and discernment if you are overly focused on the way your life appears to others.]

Because sometimes they can do it themselves.

Because sometimes other people can help instead.

It doesn’t always have to be you.

I realize that most of us end up choosing to flex our routines in order to join in on the holiday festivities. That makes sense to me.

It also makes sense to figure out the parts of your day that need to stay put.

•Consistent bedtimes and wake times.
•Eating regular meals. Staying hydrated.
•Keeping your bedtime routine.
•Leaving some white space in your calendar for self-care like journaling, meditation, and exercise.
•Taking your medicine on schedule.

What other parts of your routine are important to stick to during the holidays?

Not fake praise. Genuine appreciation.

Why is this self-care?

•It puts us in a positive frame of mind to be on the lookout for good qualities about the people around us.
•It shifts our relationships in a positive direction. Lots of us feel undervalued and unappreciated. It feels good to be noticed for what we get right.

Any other ideas to add to this list of reasons?
