Happiness isn’t always found in big life changes—sometimes it’s in a sunbeam, a snuggle, and a moment of connection.

Research shows happiness can be cultivated, and small, intentional moments like this are part of the recipe. Presence. Play. Pets. (Bonus points for fresh mountain air.)

What fills your cup like this?

Studies show that your mood in the morning—especially in the first 30–60 minutes after waking—can set the emotional tone for the day.

Here’s an example of something you can listen to to get you into a positive mood at the beginning of your day.

Putting yourself last doesn’t make you selfless—it makes you unseen. Prioritizing your own needs isn’t selfish; it’s self-respect.

Honor yourself. Set boundaries. Know your worth.

We’re all feeling that lost hour of sleep right about now! It’s no surprise that getting better sleep would be on your mind! We’re here to help ✨🌌💤

At A Balanced Life, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) as a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals struggling with insomnia. It focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors contributing to sleep difficulties. CBT-I typically includes several key components:

1. Cognitive Restructuring: Clients learn to challenge and modify negative beliefs about sleep, reducing anxiety and promoting a more positive mindset regarding their sleep patterns.

2. Sleep Education: Clients gain an understanding of sleep cycles, the importance of good sleep hygiene, and how various lifestyle factors can impact their sleep quality.

3. Behavioral Interventions: Techniques such as stimulus control and sleep restriction are employed to help regulate sleep habits, optimize the sleep environment, and establish a consistent sleep schedule.

4. Relaxation Techniques: Clients are often taught relaxation methods, such as mindfulness or progressive muscle relaxation, to reduce pre-sleep anxiety and enhance the ability to wind down before bed.

Interested in how CBT-I can help you get a better night’s sleep? Give us a call today to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled clinicians who specializes in CBT-I. Reach us at 530-544-1748 !
