⏳ In her newest blog post, Holistic Healing Counselling owner and counsellor, Shaheen Alarakhia, writes: "Time poverty is the feeling of never having enough time to meet the demands of daily life."

If this quote resonates with you, you are not alone. For many people, the pressure to keep up becomes so familiar that they do not realize how deeply it affects their emotional well-being. Time poverty is not just about being busy. It is the constant sense of rushing, stretching yourself thin, and never having the space to rest or truly breathe. 🧘‍♀️

⏳ Owner/counsellor, Shaheen Alarakhia, has written a blog about time poverty. Time poverty is more common than we think. When your days feel packed, and you cannot catch your breath, it can be more than being busy. Time poverty occurs when your responsibilities exceed the time and energy available to meet them. It leaves you stretched thin, disconnected from what matters, and constantly trying to catch up rather than truly living. 🌿

It can quietly drain your emotional well-being, increase stress, and make even small tasks feel overwhelming. You deserve a life that has room for rest, joy, and presence. If you are feeling the impact of time poverty, support is available. Our counsellors at Holistic Healing Counselling can help you understand the root and build healthier patterns so you can reclaim your time and your peace.

❄️ There is something about a quiet snowy path that reminds us to slow our steps. The holiday season can make life feel especially full. With so much to do, we often move from one task to the next without a moment to pause.

Taking time to slow down and be present can make a meaningful difference for your well-being. A mindfulness walk is a simple and powerful way to do this. It blends gentle movement with mindful awareness, helping reduce stress, increase relaxation, support immune functioning, and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. 💛

As you walk, try engaging all of your senses. Notice the sound of the snow under your feet, the cool air on your skin, and the rhythm of your breath. When you finish, take a moment to stand still and breathe deeply.

If you give this a try, we would love to hear how the experience felt for you in the comments.

🌿 Understanding Burnout Through a Biopsychosocial Lens 🌿

Burnout doesn't happen in just one part of our lives, nor is it because of one part of our lives. It's shaped by our biology, psychology, and our social environment. Looking at all three aspects is called taking a biopsychosocial approach. We want to look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

➡️ Swipe through to explore examples of how each factor plays a role in burnout.

At Holistic Healing Counselling, we take a whole-person approach to wellness. We want to support the mind, body, and spirit together.

Guilt can feel heavy. It often shows up when we've learned to take responsibility for things that were never truly ours to carry. It can keep us stuck in old patterns, replaying moments, apologizing for simply being human, or feeling undeserving of peace.

At Holistic Healing Counselling, we look beneath the surface of guilt to understand where it comes from. Because when we heal the root, we free ourselves to move forward with compassion, rather than shame.

💛 Burnout develops in response to a person's environment, along with biological and psychological factors. In many types of counselling, we often focus on the psychological side, but with burnout, our context plays a major role.

If you or someone you know is experiencing burnout, consider this: In what ways does your environment contribute to burnout, and what aspects are within your control to change? 🌿

In our featured blog post, https://holistichealingedmonton.com/What-is-Burnout, we explore how burnout develops, what to look for, and how you can begin to restore balance with gentle self-care and support. 🌺

🌹 Today is National Grief and Bereavement Day 🌹

Grief touches each of us in unique ways. Sometimes through quiet moments, sometimes in waves that feel too heavy to carry. 💫 At Holistic Healing Counselling we offer a safe space to talk, process, and begin to heal at your own pace.

If you're moving through loss, please know you don't have to do it alone. Reach out at 587-882-4996 to connect with one of our therapists and take the next gentle step toward healing. 🌸
