It’s been a long winter so far for many & I know a lot of people are feeling the intensity of life right now so hoping to create some light by sharing what I think is a super funny clip by one of my favorite actress/comedians who sadly left us today, leaving behind a fantastic legacy of amazing performances for us to enjoy for years to come. RIP Catherine & peace to all ✌️

Some food for thought from a couple of daily devotionals that I’ve been enjoying ‘The Daily Stoic’ & ‘Everyday Spirit’ ✨
✔️Focus inward vs outward.
✔️Know that the one & only thing you have control over is you.
✔️Own your awesome truth. We are spirits who are hardwired to grow toward the light.
✔️When you expect miracles you experience miracles. Believe anything is possible.

When you don’t know what to do next, take a couple of deep breaths. It helps to ground you in the present moment & relaxes your stress response & nervous system. Start with the breath & the rest will follow.

Gently greeting 2026 with some self-care via a soothing cup of hot of tea whilst staying warm & cozy with my sweet pup & taking in some wisdom & philosophy from new read ‘The Daily Stoic’ 🍵🐶📚.
So far love the book, concepts really resonate…many things I have been saying in my counseling sessions for years tbh 😆.
Here are a few good ancient gems to keep in mind to help navigate the complexities of life in the new year…
The 3 disciplines of Stoicism:
✔️Perception. Control your perceptions.
✔️Action. Direct your actions properly.
✔️Will. Willingly accept what’s outside your control.
• The one & only thing we have control over is ourselves in the present moment. 💯
• (Self) Knowledge is freedom. Do your homework. Educate yourself. 📝
• The power of no. Say yes only to the things that mean most to you.👍🏼
• Clarify your intentions. Live life with intent & also be flexible with outcomes. ✨
Thanks to Counselor Nicole for this awesome new read! Nikki is a seasoned school social worker & our awesome in-house therapist who specializes in working with kids & teens, helping them to navigate the ups & downs of growing up, and also supports young adults as they transition to adulthood.
