If you've stopped drinking, have cut back substantially—or are considering either of those options—know you're not alone.

Lots of individuals are making changes, and really listening to what is best/better for their bodies, mental health & overall well-bring.

More people are recognizing there are coping tools & techniques outside of alcohol, that will ultimately serve them so much more.

I will always celebrate when people honor what they really need, what empowers them, and what brings them more joy & health versus a quick fix or "just doing what we've always done".

Enjoy that beer or glass of wine, or don't. Either way, you deserve to feel the best you can. 💖

“A dysregulated nervous system doesn’t tell the truth.”
Someone shared this with me the other day, and it still has impact.

A dysregulated nervous system is primed for danger-and thinking based in fear-when there may actually be no true threat from moment to moment.

Finding calm—and the ability to think clearly— can be a tall order in a world that often prefers we stay scared, distracted & discontented.

One of the most powerful—even Revolutionary—things you can do is step back.
Notice.
Take a breath.
And engage in things that help you regulate.

Observing your own behavior and reactions is a great first step to achieving a deeper sense of grounded safety and wellbeing.
You can use the chart below if you like.

The chart refers to Kids, but it applies just as equally to adults. 😉

I couldn't have said it better than my collaborator, Brandy Case Haub, of Intertwined Iowa.
Please see below for an amazing healing & restoration opportunity we've put together for the Mental Health professionals, the healers, and the caregivers. We would be honored to have you.

"May is Mental Health Awareness month, and to celebrate and honor that, I am partnering with Kristine Lindell of Linden Tree Healing & Therapy PLLC to offer a Half-day Nature Retreat at Walnut Woods State Park in honor of Mental Health Awareness month on Friday, May 2nd from 9am - 12:30pm.

Our intended retreat audience is Mental Health professionals and individuals who identify as caregivers in their professional and/or personal lives. Caregivers give SO much. This retreat is a gentle invitation to receive.
For mental health professionals and caregivers, we will offer you a space where the weight of compassion fatigue can be eased and your inner strength renewed. Immerse yourself in the healing embrace of guided forest therapy, the soothing vibrations of sound healing, the tranquil focus of Reiki-inspired mindfulness, and the grounding power of personal reflection and shared connection. We will share a forest-based tea ceremony with light snacks to close the day.
This is your space to breathe, to be, and to rediscover the joy of self-care. Please share this with anyone you work with or know who you think needs this time & space 💚"

Acts of rebellion (and in my words "Rebellious Self Care!"):
By Melody Polansky

Turn off the news - if you need to know, you will know.
Your thoughts have energy-you can see it but don’t stare-don’t get sucked in.

Leave your phone behind and go walk in nature-observe it and soak it in.

Find community where you can feel at peace
Dance
Laugh
Express compassion
Read books about history, spiritual teachings, natural health…
Support your library
Support musicians, artists and performers
Let your freak flag fly and be 100% authentic
Love your people hard!
Keep your heart open
