While I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, I like the idea of thinking about intentions, and what I would like to be more mindful of this year. A lot of times, the things I want to be more intentional about look a lot like the topics I discuss with a lot of clients. This month, I’m sharing some intentions/resolutions I’m hoping to practice in 2026 alongside my clients. Happy New Year! 🌱

I know I’ve wrestled with this in my own experience. I start to feel the first pings of anxiety, and Philippians 4:6 comes to mind: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” In the past, I’ve easily misinterpreted this verse as, “Give whatever is making me anxious or sad to God and then don’t think about it anymore,” sometimes even going so far as to judging myself for continuing to think about it, like I must be sinning for still feeling anxious or sad after I’ve prayed. But praying to God is not the same as giving myself a lobotomy. In fact, I don’t think God expects us to just forget our difficult feelings upon praying about them. I think, if anything, He invites us to feel them, to acknowledge them before Him, and then to watch Him work. Maybe this means answering our prayer for a spouse. Maybe it means making His presence profoundly felt in difficult moments. Maybe it even means no immediate response, and us crying out to God in anger and frustration (been there). Allowing ourselves to experience our pain is painful and hard. However, if we don’t acknowledge and feel our pain, it will be difficult to acknowledge and feel the comfort and presence that God alone can provide. 🌱

Ok, so we can FEEL grateful, of course. Someone does something helpful for me and I FEEL grateful. But orienting ourselves towards gratitude when we DON’T feel it is a choice. This doesn’t mean we ignore or minimize our difficult life circumstances - practicing gratitude does not replace difficult thoughts, feelings, or circumstances with warm, fuzzy feelings. If that were the case, we probably wouldn’t need to pause and practice it—we’d just do it automatically! But it is an important part of getting through difficult times.

Halloween is over. Time to put away the pumpkins and put up the Christmas trees!
 
For many of us, the holiday season brings joy and memories of childhood delight, time with loved ones, and special holiday traditions. There are times in our lives, however, where these seasons seem cloaked with pain and sadness. We may feel confronted with our own unhappiness or discontent. And along with that, we may experience judgment (from ourselves or others) for not feeling particularly grateful when “we just have so much to be thankful for!”
 
I’m sharing an updated blog post today that I originally wrote a few years ago. Gratitude has been touted for its mental health benefits, and it got me wondering how it can benefit and be practiced during times of grief or hardship when we don’t feel we have much to be thankful for. I came across the work of Dr. Robert Emmons, who has done a large amount of research on gratitude. I’ve shared some of his work and my thoughts in the blog post here and at the link in my profile:
