When working parents 💻 are feeling pulled in so many directions, it's common to feel guilt or shame 😔 due to thoughts like:

💭 "I SHOULD be taking care of myself 🛀, I SHOULD be more present with my family 👨‍👩‍👦; I SHOULD be PRIORITIZING my health and family over my work, but I just don't have time for it all!" 🫨🥺

☝️Here's a tip: adventure outside with your family or little ones! 🐾🪺🌱

You will be tending to your mental 🧠, emotional 🙏, and physical health 💪 while spending invaluable time with your family ❤️.

😌 It will give you a literal breath of fresh air in your fast-paced life 🏍️, it will allow you to practice LIVING in the present moment 📸 instead of letting time/life pass you by ⏳, and it will forever be a fond memory for everyone 🖼️.

🌟 How to Realistically Fulfill the "New Year, New Me" Resolution 🌟

👀 According to a recent survey conducted by Forbes Health/OnePoll, only 20% of respondents said they hold themselves accountable when it comes to sticking to their New Year's resolutions 🤯.

🚀 This year, I encourage you to revise your resolutions to include prioritizing your mental health which is 🔑 to living a fulfilling life and to thriving amidst chaos.

So as we begin this year, I'm committing to prioritizing my mental well-being 🧠 by:

1. Taking time for myself

2. Indulging in activities that bring me joy

3. Continuing to see my own therapist (yes - we therapists see our own therapists 💪)

🙌 How will you prioritize your mental health? 🤔

Cheers to a fresh start and a year filled with growth and mental well-being! 🌈

🎄✨ Feeling overwhelmed by the holiday hustle? You're not alone! 🌟 Amidst the festive cheer, it's okay to admit that this season can bring its own set of challenges. If you're battling holiday anxiety, remember, you're not alone in this. 💚 Here are a few tips to navigate the stress and find your holiday calm:

Acknowledge Your Feelings: 🤔 It's normal to feel a mix of emotions during the holidays. Give yourself permission to feel and recognize what you need.

Set Realistic Expectations: 🎁 Release the pressure of perfection. Embrace the beauty of imperfection and set achievable goals for yourself.

Create Boundaries: ⛔️ Saying 'no' is a gift to yourself. Set boundaries to protect your time and energy. Your well-being is most important.

Focus on Connections: 🤝 Reach out to loved ones or find local events. Connecting with others can bring comfort and support during this season.

Mindful Moments: 🧘‍♀️ Incorporate mindfulness into your day. A few deep breaths or a moment of reflection can do wonders for your mental well-being.

Remember, the holidays are about connection, not perfection. Be kind to yourself and take the time you need to enjoy the season in a way that feels right for you. 💙✨
