May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Make self-care a priority and non-negotiable. Here’s a reminder of the power and importance of caring for ourselves.

Check in with your body and mind at this moment, get comfy and settle into your body. And just notice. Take 3 deep breaths slowly: inhale for a count of 6 seconds, pause for 2, and exhale for a count of 8.

Reflect mentally — ask yourself, “How do I feel?”Name that specific emotion. Where does this feeling live in your body? Take a moment to tune inward.

Check in on burnout indicators — have you felt stressed and overwhelmed lately? Reflect on how full your plate has felt. Reflect with kindness on how you’ve been honestly feeling.

Is it tough to fall asleep at night?
Have you been a little less interested in the things your care about or your usual activities?
Do you feel rested in the morning?

Mindfulness goes a long way when you choose to take care of your mental health and emotional wellness.

According to the American Psychological Association, these are some common reactions to disasters. Recognizing the commonality of your experiences after a catastrophic event may help reduce feelings of loneliness and lessen your anxiety around them.

In relation to the multiple fires currently burning in the Los Angeles area, I wanted to share coping skills for dealing with stress beyond the immediate aftermath of the disaster. According to the APA, it is common for people to experience stress during these times, but most people are able to increase their resilience and recover, rather than experiencing prolonged distress (APA, 2013).

Follow these tips to help you gain a sense of control and build emotional well-being❤️

Sending love & light during this time 💡

During the holidays, many of us take on extra responsibilities. The prefrontal cortex of your brain is what helps you to manage these extra responsibilities 🧠 If this part of your brain is under high demand for an extended period of time, it can cause harmful effects.

When making plans for the holiday season, remember to schedule in time for rest and decide what you want the holidays to mean to you and your family❤️😌

During the winter, we often feel more negative emotions.

To help increase positive emotions during this time, build more positive experiences in the short and long term, increase your mindfulness during positive experiences, and reframe your negative thoughts.

When emotions feel especially strong or distressing it can feel like you don’t have control. To help take control of your emotions, first recognize the warning signs and take a pause. Then, utilize a coping skill that is appropriate to your setting. Once you have calmed down and it feels safe to do so, return to the person or situation that triggered your emotional distress.
