As we are moving into darker, colder months, you might start to notice a shift in your mood and energy.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression caused by shorter days and reduced light.

Here are some simple self-care tips to support yourself:

• movement- a short walk or workout can energize you
• connection- reach out to friends and family to avoid isolation
• journaling - connect with yourself and get curious about ways to support yourself
• yoga and meditation can help with relaxation and stress relief
• nutritious food - prepare nourishing warm meals or grab a to-go soup

If you find yourself struggling as we are moving into a new season, it’s okay to ask for help.

Ten years ago, I was graduating with my master’s in mental health. Within days, we would head to Romania for my parents to meet William and Luca for the very first time. Having received my degree felt quite liberating! I was shy and quiet, ready to work. One of my colleagues asked me if I ever saw myself in private practice and I immediately blurted out: “No, I would feel like a fraud.” Hearing my own thoughts out loud made me realize the impact of limiting beliefs. I worked through them and 2 1/2 years later, when I became fully licensed, I started private practice.

I’m sharing this story to encourage you to get curious about your own limiting beliefs.

Now, ten years later, I am much more confident in my skills. I believe deeply in my work as a therapist and I am grateful to be in a field where I can help others understand how they might be getting in their own way, process trauma, and grow.

Here’s to the next ten years in this field, but moving forward with more balance and intention. 👩‍🎓⚖️
