We all experience daily stress, sometimes reaching toxic levels, and without release it can have a devastating effect on our health.
Although we might not have been diagnosed with dementia or any disorder, we are not excluded from a decline in brain function due to untreated stress and tension.

Aesthetic experiences can improve health and well-being at any stage of life

Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.

My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.

So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.

Support is the most precious gift. It’s a love that helps us remember who we are, even when we forget.

When healing from stress or trauma, it’s not just that person’s life that changes. That healing can also impact the lives of their family, their friends, and their coworkers – and that can ripple out to their community.

According to research, "participants with dementia saw at least one of the following benefits from art therapy: improved wellbeing, better quality of life, reduced biological and psychological symptoms of dementia, or better cognitive function".

There's some evidence that art therapy can help slow or prevent cognitive decline in seniors. Here's what we know so far.

“There is just so much to do and not enough time!”

And yet…

Most of us who feel this way also engage in behaviors that cost us a lot of time unnecessarily. Behaviors like…

😬 Perfectionism: Striving to do things perfectly is a great way to consume a lot of time and the truth is, doing things “good enough” is enough!

I often refer to perfectionism as a hiding habit because it is a great way to spend loads of time and never really deliver anything of value (because it is never good enough).

😩 Stinkin’ Thinkin’: Author Nir Eyal says, “Thought management is time management.” I love that and could not agree more.

How much time do you spend beating yourself up, marinating in self-doubt, and/or wondering what other people think?

How much time might you reclaim if you did those things less?

🤔 Indecision: Not making decisions will cost you a tremendous amount of time.

When you make decisions strong and fast, you learn and grow faster.

When you don’t make decisions, not only do you stay stuck, but you also get a generous helping of overwhelm added on top!

Thank you courtney@graceandgrit.com for this insightful advice. 🤔

Contrary to popular belief, psychotherapists are not trained to somehow turn off their feelings toward their patients.

"If there's not a friendly face in your life, it’s my job to make you feel safe.”

No need to go back to the event or past experience, we focus on going forward.

Therapy can feel impossibly scary if we feel we need to talk about 'what happened' – before we're ready. But trauma therapy is about retraining our neurobiology to feel safe again – with or without a narrative. Read more: https://www.carolynspring.com/blog/why-do-we-avoid

If you ever said: “I wish I could only once wake up all refreshed and ready for the day” then you need to watch the video.

WHY CAN’T I SLEEP? 🤷💤

This is one of the most common questions I get. So I’m resharing this quick vlog with my answer.

Sleep disturbance is a classic symptom of unhealed trauma and a dysregulated nervous system.

The good news? I watch my students restore their capacity to rest deeply every single day.

It starts with EDUCATION and slowly growing the capacity to be with our somatic selves.

So if the chamomile tea, sleep meditations, warm baths, and sleep hygiene practices aren’t cutting it—this video was made for you.

Have a watch.
