How do you stay grounded? 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Month, Perla Cerna, LMFT and Clinical Coordinator, shares how she takes care of her mental health by slowing down and reconnecting to the present moment.

One of her go-to tools is the “butterfly hug” 🦋
• Cross your arms and rest your hands on your shoulders (or wherever feels most comfortable)
• Gently tap back and forth, like butterfly wings
• Close your eyes or keep a soft gaze
• Breathe in for 4, and out for 4
• Continue until your body feels more at ease

The more you practice, the easier it becomes. Take a moment for yourself today
