In our fast-paced world, multitasking often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and detached from the present. Practicing the DBT skill of One-Mindfully encourages us to focus on one task at a time with full presence.
Today, consider:

☕ Enjoying your coffee without the distraction of your phone
🚶 Taking a walk while paying attention to your breathing
📝 Finishing one task without thinking about the next

These small acts of mindfulness contribute significantly to emotional regulation. Therapy can offer guidance on incorporating these skills into everyday life.

Happy New Year!

The pressure to reinvent yourself in January can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to “reset” or become someone new. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to start an entirely new life, try setting gentle intentions and considering:

What do you want to nurture?
What do you want to let go of?
What do you want more of in your life?

In 2026, practice being kind to yourself and remember that the new year is not a deadline, it’s an invitation.

The holiday season can bring a mixture of emotions. Joy, stress, grief and other feelings can all come up and overwhelm us.

It's okay if this time of year feels complicated for you. You can celebrate the moments of connection while honoring the challenges. Remember that boundaries are a form of self-care, especially during busy times or difficult family gatherings.

Wherever you find yourself this Christmas Eve, you may feel supported in protecting your peace and noticing the moments of joy that matter most.

Mindfulness isn't just about tuning into yourself, it's also about how you show up in relationships with others.

Being mindful of others deepens connections. When we observe, describe, and participate, we can show up with compassion and openness, and our relationships thrive.

Try slowing down, noticing your thoughts, giving others the benefit of the doubt, and fully participating in conversations this week. These small shifts can make a big difference.

🌿Happy Mindfulness Monday 🌿

Pausing for even just a few moments throughout your day can be a powerful way to reset your mind and body. Mindfulness doesn't have to mean long meditations. It can mean simple choices you make everyday to slow down and notice the present moment.

Here are a few steps to practice mindfulness in just one day:
- Do a quick body scan. Notice where you're holding tension.
- Take a mindful sip of water or tea.
- Notice what you see, feel, and hear around you.
- Focus on one thing at a time (instead of multitasking).
- Listen deeply.
- Try mindful walking. Even a few steps can help ground you!

5 tips to remember when holidays feel complicated🤍

For some, the holidays feel warm and joyful. For others, family dynamics and unspoken tension can make it feel overwhelming. Both experiences are valid.

It's okay if this holiday season isn't picture-perfect for you.

Gratitude isn't about perfection. It's about noticing the small things that make us feel any form of joy, even small.

If this season feels complicated, you're not alone. Honor your feelings as they come, and embrace gratitude in whatever way feels authentic to you.

This week, remember that your well-being matters just as much as your work.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Take regular breaks and step away from work whenever you can.
2. Prioritize self care. Sleep, nutrition and exercise make a difference.
3. Set healthy boundaries. Don't be afraid to say no.
4. Seek support from friends, family, co-workers or mentors.
5. Reflect on your stress signals and adjust your routine to recharge. Self-denial can occur in the early stages of burnout, so it's important to regularly check in with yourself and be honest about how much you can handle.

Your mental health is your most valuable asset. Protect it! 💛
