💚The best self-care is flexible, simple, and sustainable -- drinking water, stretching, pausing.
⌚Try setting a reminder to do these things at times when they make sense (drinking water with breakfast in the morning, stretching before bed, pausing on your lunch break)...
🌱Before you know it, self-care is part of your routine!

"Have you ever wondered if maybe you were a highly sensitive person (HSP) but felt like some of the traits just didn’t seem to fit? Perhaps certain aspects such as sensitivity to stimuli, emotional depth, empathy, and a need for introverted time and a rich inner life really resonate with you. On the other hand, maybe you also seek adventure, thrills, a need to immerse yourself in new experiences. Perhaps sometimes you find yourself bored or even a little depressed when life becomes small or too mundane. Maybe you sometimes feel torn between going out and staying in, or you crave novelty and excitement while you also want to feel assured and know what to expect. Sometimes the highly sensitive person is not just highly sensitive, but is also high sensation seeking (HSS)."

😡Do you believe that anger is destructive?
😓Do you find yourself holding it in until you explode?
😩When we believe all anger is scary or destructive, we may dismiss or suppress anything that feels like anger, even annoyance or frustration.
🔥This can lead to anger and resentment building until it becomes rage.
😮It doesn't have to be this way!
🤔Learning to recognize anger when it's milder allows us the opportunity to communicate with others when we're calmer.
✨How different would it be to tell someone what you need when you're mildly annoyed as opposed to when you're fuming with rage?
🌱Still sound daunting? Therapy can help!

🌱Our self-perceptions affect our mood, outlook, and our relationships.
🌱Being less judgmental of ourselves can help us see ourselves more realistically.
🌱Seeing ourselves more realistically may help us better understand and communicate our needs, which can help our relationships and overall wellbeing.
🌱There may be complicated reasons we judge ourselves harshly.
🌱Therapy can help us understand the roots of self-criticism and our unrealistic self-image.

If you or your loved one are highly sensitive people (hsps) 🌿, it's really common to struggle with how to set boundaries. We care so much about others 💜 and we pick up on their feelings, which adds an extra challenge to saying "no" 🚫 or setting limits.

Here are some tips to help:

✨Do you often find yourself saying, "I should have been able to do that! What is wrong with me?!" or "I did what I was s...

✨Do you often find yourself saying, "I should have been able to do that! What is wrong with me?!" or "I did what I was supposed to, why
didn't things go better?!"
✨You might not think of yourself as needing to control everything, but the above statements suggest it might be an issue.
✨The problem with rigid expectations about control is that they often come with blame -- self-blame if we believe we should have control, and blame of others if we believe they're in complete control.
✨Blame is a HEAVY emotion, and when we cling to control, the burden of blame comes with it.
✨If you struggle with resentment, longstanding grudges, or reactivity, therapy can help you uncover and explore possible underlying struggles with control and how perspective, boundaries, grief, and radical self-care and acceptance may help to lighten your load.

🌱At Thrive Therapy and Counseling, we know that admitting we struggle with these things is a HUGE STEP, and we want to support you with encouragement and compassion, not more blame.

Self-care is more than just a luxury; it’s a vital part of maintaining your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Taking the time to
nurture yourself daily, even in small ways, can lead to greater resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Whether it’s taking a quiet moment to breathe deeply, enjoying a hot cup of tea, or setting boundaries to protect your peace, self-care helps recharge your energy. By making self-care a priority, you’re not only taking care of yourself but also enabling yourself to show up as the best version of you for others.

Incorporating self-care into your routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming. It’s about intentionally choosing actions that help you feel grounded, balanced, and centered. When you make self-care a regular part of your life, you build the emotional strength to navigate stress and cultivate a healthier mindset. It’s a reminder that taking care of your needs isn’t selfish—it’s necessary for your overall
well-being and happiness.💚
