How would you address these 5 tips for mental wellness? Here’s what I’ll do:
1️⃣ Try a short meditation focused on self-compassion
2️⃣ Go for a brisk walk (as long as it isn’t hailing!)
3️⃣ Head to bed & wake up at the same time each day
4️⃣ Tell people how much I appreciate them
5️⃣ Honor plans to visit friends & family

When our partner voices dissatisfaction with an aspect of the relationship, it's common to feel a need to explain or defend ourselves in response - sometimes, it's because we fear on some level that our partner's dissatisfaction is a threat to the security of the relationship ❤️‍🩹 However, listening for and reflecting our partner's feelings, needs, and dreams that lay underneath the complaint can help us chart a road map towards even more connection and security! 🫂

Want to learn more about how to strengthen your relationship? Let us connect you with one of our amazing couples' counselors today! 📞 (231) 622-5800 📧 admin@reallifecounselor.com

You've heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs - but did you know that Maslow had a student named William Glasser who developed his own spin on the theory? 🤔
Glasser organized our basic needs a little differently, and he believed that they needed to be maintained in a balance, rather than progressively achieved 📶
Do you agree that these 5 items summarize our basic human needs? How do you feel about the idea that our choices/behaviors stem from these unmet needs? Let us know in the comments! 📝

And as always - to get connected with a therapist who's right for you, give us a call or send us a message at reallifecounselor.com!
