What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

It’s a theory that says humans have basic needs that come before growth.

We need:
• safety before confidence
• connection before self-esteem
• rest before purpose

When our basic needs aren’t met, it’s harder to focus, heal, or thrive.

So if you’re struggling, it’s not a personal failure,
it may just be an unmet need asking for attention 🤍

Overstimulated?

Overstimulation isn’t weakness — it’s your nervous system doing its job a little too well.
Therapists who study sensory regulation remind us that safety calms the brain.

Try this in the moment:

• Name 3 things you can see (anchors your mind)
• Slow your exhale (longer out-breath tells your body you’re safe)
• Soften your focus instead of scanning the room (reduces threat signals)

Research shows that gentle sensory input + controlled breathing can shift your nervous system out of fight-or-flight within minutes.

4 Simple Ways to Build Routine & Spark Motivation

Motivation grows from consistency, not pressure. These small habits help your brain feel safer, calmer, and more energized:

1️⃣ Wake up at the same time
Regulates your circadian rhythm → better mood & focus.

2️⃣ Drink water first thing
Hydration improves energy, clarity, and mental performance.

3️⃣ Choose 1–3 priorities
Fewer goals reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through.

4️⃣ Practice gratitude or reflection
Strengthens motivation by reinforcing positive neural pathways.

🧠 Your Amygdala Explained

The amygdala is your brain’s alarm system.
It scans for danger and reacts fast — before logic kicks in.

That’s why you might feel:
Anxious
Reactive
Shut down

Especially after stress or trauma, the amygdala can stay on high alert.
Your brain is trying to protect you.

To calm it: slow breathing, grounding, and kind self-talk signal safety.

❄️ A Gentle Winter Reminder ❄️

Shoveling snow may look harmless, but it can place serious strain on the heart — especially in cold air and heavy snow. Every winter, heart attack risk increases during shoveling. This is about care, not fear 🤍

Shovel mindfully:
• Warm up first
• Push snow instead of lifting
• Take frequent breaks
• Lift small loads and breathe steadily
• Stop if you feel chest pain, dizziness, or extreme fatigue

✨ Ask for help, use a snowblower, or hire assistance when possible.

Heads Up Branford!!!

A major winter storm is forecast to impact a large portion of the US. It will begin to impact Branford late Sunday. ❄️🥶💨

Computer models have trended towards significantly more snow for Connecticut and New England over the past few days. The models are currently in good agreement and showing a general 12” – 18” of snow for our area. However, this storm is still three days away so changes to the forecast should be expected.

Winter Storm Watches have been issued for a large portion of the
country. These watches are expected to expand into New England around the 72-hour mark, likely this morning into the afternoon.

Bitter cold air will be in place ahead of the storm, please see below for information on Branford warming centers.

🤍 There is strength in letting go of what you cannot change.
Not everything is meant to be fixed or carried.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is release what was never yours to control.

This time of year can feel hard to get motivated. Don’t set goals that are going to make you feel overwhelmed. Start with smaller goals that feel achievable.

If starting feels hard,
your nervous system may need safety,
not pressure or self-criticism. Start small.
