While out for a walk this morning, I came across a slug slowly making his way across the path and decided to take a moment to stop and observe him.

As I crouched down, I realized how I almost breezed quickly past him. A fast walker by nature, it sometimes feels that my morning walks come with a mission of achieving something or getting somewhere. Usually, I suppose, the walks come with the intention of shaking off any early morning, pre-day anxieties. It can sometimes feel like the quicker I get out the door and get some distance behind me, the quicker I’ll return to baseline.

However, as I watched the slug creep by, I thought about how much I may counteract my good intentions by zooming through my neighbourhood surroundings. How many things do I miss when I’m living in my head and in a state of ‘getting-to-the-next-thing’ in my day?

Sometimes, a brisk walk is what I want, but other times, starting my day in a rush doesn’t set me up for success.

Stop and smell the roses, they say. Or, alternatively, stop and watch the slug ooze past.

What do you notice in your neighbourhood when you slow down and look around? 👀

Although there are many things that are cause for pleasant emotions, like sunshine, warmth, and longer days, the summer months can also generate some uncomfortable emotions as well.

In the nicer months, social media can be full of photos and videos of social gatherings, vacations, beach days, and cottage trips, featuring groups of smiling people and fun experiences. If our reality doesn’t match up, it can amplify feelings of sadness and/or loneliness.

Perhaps the difference in experience is due to not having closer relationships, being in a life transition of some sort, or having financial or health limitations - or a number of different factors.

If this is the case, there are different ways to care for ourselves ❤️ here are just a few! What other ones come to mind for you?

With the first of August right around the corner, this can be a great time to do a bit of a summer check-in.

Regardless of how your summer has gone so far, there’s time to check-in and reflect on how you’re feeling about things and make some changes, if you wish.

I love an opportunity to sit down and reflect, especially through journalling. So here are a few questions to ponder ^ ☀️

07/03/2025

Don’t get me wrong, summer is a lovely season. It’s warm, energetic, sunny, and inviting. It can also be somewhat disruptive, though, in how the flow of a summer day can sometimes interrupt our routines.

I’m likely not the only person who will put off doing work on a warm weekday afternoon if the opportunity to go out and do something presents itself (and if I’m genuinely able to, of course). Summer is also when a lot of people take vacations, often naturally ‘disrupting’ the day-to-day routine that comes with work and life.

Sometimes shame or guilt accompanies this disruption. If we feel pulled to go out in the sun when we should be doing work, we may feel bad about it.

What if we embraced rhythms over routines, instead?

Following a rhythm means that we’re flexible and responsive to internal cues and external changes and acknowledges that energy, emotion, and creativity don’t follow a strict schedule.

That’s not to say that we dump all of our responsibilities and routines in favour of having fun. But maybe it does give us a bit more space to be kind to ourselves when we’re pulled away from what we typically do on a Monday afternoon at 2pm.

If the idea of moving entirely with rhythm over routine feels like too much, we could also implement mini routines as a sort of anchor for our days and weeks - something like morning and evening bookends, having a few non-negotiables throughout our days (like move, eat, rest), or having a weekly ritual like a Sunday reset.

🌞 How do you notice your energy and attention shifting in the summer months 🌞

Our words matter. How we treat ourselves matters 💬❤️

As I think about transitions and transformations with the season, I think about the person I have become over the last few years, and how many times I have found myself in seasons of change.

The answer is non-stop. Continuous. Ever evolving. We are always going through changes, whether it is clear to us or not. This can come with its own anxieties, but within all of change, we can connect to the comfort that even when there were big question marks hanging around us, we have found our way through, likely many times before.

I find this to be helpful in moments when I feel unsure. Because I can’t tell my younger self this, I remind my present self of the strength and wisdom accumulated through my years on this earth thus far - this propels me forward.

Have you ever felt uncertain about yourself or your path? When were they? How did you overcome them?

With the changing of the seasons afoot, I’ve been thinking about how spring is often seen as a time of renewal.

It’s the time of year that marks the transition from dormancy to growth - it’s when trees sprout their leaves, flowers bloom, and our fellow humans emerge from their dwellings, excited about the fresh air and the prospect of warmer days (and likely with fewer layers of clothing).

Because of its association with growth, spring is also a great time for reflection, appreciation, and looking ahead. Over the winter months, we may have also been going through our own version of hibernation. And as life blooms forth, we may feel ourselves thawing out and cracking open a bit as well.

If you feel called to do so, I encourage you to spend a bit of time in reflection. This can look different for everyone! Perhaps it’s through journaling, creating art, talking with others, or sitting quietly with yourself - whatever way works for you.

To get you started, here are a few prompting questions 🌱

I hope that spring meets you kindly!

It doesn’t feel like almost two whole years have passed since I last made a post on here (whoops!). In some ways, I don’t know where the time has gone. In other ways, I know that I have been focused on other life tasks and experiences.

There is a part of me that feels like I should have done more, and another part of me that encourages me to be gentle.

Ultimately, both sides make their point known, and as the dust settles, I am reminded to have patience for myself.

Life gets busy and takes us on interesting adventures. We say goodbye to some people and say hello to others. We make new connections and explore new places. We laugh. We feel nostalgic for what once was. We cry. We embrace, as best as we can, the shedding of layers and the blossoming of who we’re becoming. Over and over and over again.

Spring is around the corner, and like the plant bulbs laying patiently underground over the winter months, we, too, must be patient with ourselves during our dormancy and the different cycles of life.

I’m not sure what the last few years have been like for you, but I genuinely hope you are well ❤️🌱

Things aren’t always going to go the way we planned or hoped for. That can hurt. ⠀
⠀
Maybe we’ve put ourselves out there in some way - we’ve expressed a desire to have something happen or to accomplish something and it doesn’t work out. ⠀
⠀
When this happens, we may find ourselves wanting to retreat back into familiarity or save ourselves from the possibility of getting hurt again. We pull back, board ourselves up, and put on a brave face, not wanting others to see how disappointed or upset we actually are. ⠀
⠀
We shut down.⠀
⠀
It can be hard to remain open to possibility in this state. The possibility that something else is waiting just beyond the horizon for us, or the possibility that we’re closer than we think to things working out in a way we couldn’t even dream to imagine. ⠀
⠀
Remain open to possibility. It’s okay that hearts break and egos waver; these feelings won’t last forever.⠀
⠀
How can you practice remaining open to possibility when you want to shut down?

When we connect with people, in partnership or friendship, and they *give* us what was missing in our past (affection, acceptance, allowance, appreciation, or attention), they also *show* us what was missing.⠀
⠀
Although it can feel good to receive, and there is fulfilment with its presence, there can also be grief that accompanies the fact that it was missing before. This duality in the experience can be hard to hold. ⠀
⠀
Having patience for yourself is key. It can be scary to open yourself up to loving and being loved. ⠀
⠀
Side bar: it’s a humbling experience when the barista asks you what you’re reading and you want to be honest so you tell them the truth but the book is literally called “How to Be an Adult in Love” 🤦‍♀️

How do you frame what has happened to you in the past? How is this understanding impacting you in the present moment?⠀
⠀
We can often be plagued by the things that have happened to us and when we think about them in the present, we can become consumed by negative feelings. ⠀
How can we reshape the way we relate to our past?⠀
⠀
It might be helpful to reflect on the fact that when we think about a memory, when we reconstruct it as we recall the details to mind, we are actually thinking about it from the present self because we can never go back to the actual moment. ⠀
⠀
This might seem intuitive enough, but sometimes it’s easy for us to lose touch with ourselves in the present, especially if we feel swept up in a memory of pain. ⠀
⠀
With that being said, how can we ground ourselves in the present moment? When we change ourselves in the present moment, we change the way that we view the past (and the way we relate to it, and therefore, the way that it makes us feel). ⠀
What does practicing compassion and kindness look like for you when you reflect on your past? How does this practice change the way you feel about it in the present moment?

January marks 3 years since I started Thoughts Undone! 🥳 ⠀
⠀
I’ve learned so much during this time. I won’t go into the nitty gritty details about what I learned relating to business operations and marketing (because truthfully, I’m no expert), but I did want to share what my favourite thing about being a counsellor is so far.⠀
⠀
Each person that I’ve had the opportunity to work with has taught me something about being human. I connect with people at some of their most vulnerable points and am privy to their struggles and heartache; I witness their breakthroughs; I laugh with them; I feel my eyes sting with tears when they cry. ⠀
⠀
I consider being in these spaces with them to be a great privilege and I’m reminded everyday of how connection is important and how we’re all just doing our best to figure things out as we navigate life. It gives me permission to do the same. ⠀
⠀
I can’t wait to see how Thoughts Undone continues to grow and transform in the years to come and how I do the same right along with it 🌱
