The holidays can stir up a lot - expectations, comparisons, traditions that don’t always fit who you are or what you need right now.

If you find yourself feeling disconnected from the season, it’s okay to rewrite what this time looks like for you. That might mean keeping things simple, skipping certain gatherings, or creating your own traditions that feel peaceful and genuine. There’s no single “right” way to celebrate. Your version of the holidays still counts.

If this season feels heavy or overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Head to our website to schedule your free 15-minute consultation today to see if Rise Up is right for you.

When the daylight disappears before your workday ends, evenings can start to feel smaller. That missing window of light used to be for walking, moving, or simply breathing after a long day, and now it’s gone. The loss can quietly build isolation or anxiety as your routine shifts.

If you’ve been feeling restless or low-energy after dark, try reframing your evenings instead of waiting for spring. Move your body at the gym or at home, plan cozy dinners with friends, save your errands for after work to keep momentum, or explore an indoor hobby that sparks joy. You don’t have to fill every moment, just create small anchors that remind your body you’re still safe, steady, and in control of your rhythm.

We’re excited to share that our Owner, Jess Packard, LCPC, and Clinical Assistant, Becca Ellis, LCPC, will be presenting at the Maine Nurse Practitioner Association’s Fall Conference this Friday in South Portland!

Their session, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Care Collaboration, will explore the intersection of mental health and seasonal change, something that impacts many here in Maine as daylight shortens and routines shift.

We’re proud to be part of an event that supports continued learning and collaboration across healthcare disciplines.

Today is International Stress Awareness Day, a reminder that stress affects all of us, no matter who we are or where we live.

Stress shows up quietly at first: tension in your shoulders, restless thoughts before bed, snapping at loved ones when you don’t mean to. When it lingers too long, it can become something heavier... chronic anxiety, burnout, or exhaustion that feels impossible to shake.

When the clocks turn back, your body and mind notice - even if it seems like a small change. Less daylight, colder weather, and disrupted sleep patterns can quietly increase anxiety or leave you feeling off-balance.

If you’re noticing more restlessness, fatigue, or irritability this time of year, you’re not alone. This seasonal shift affects your cortisol levels, sleep cycle, and overall rhythm, and it’s okay to need time to adjust.

Now’s a good time to re-ground yourself in habits that support calm and stability: steady sleep routines, movement during daylight hours, mindful moments before bed, and counseling.

For many parents, the excitement of trick-or-treating comes with a wave of what ifs: What if my child gets lost? What if I’m not there to protect them? What if something goes wrong while they’re out?

Anxiety often shows up when the line between safety and trust feels uncertain. Letting kids explore the world can be both rewarding and uncomfortable, and that’s okay. It’s normal to want your child to be safe while also learning independence.

If your “what ifs” feel louder than the fun, you’re not alone.

Progress doesn’t always look like big wins. It often looks like just keeping pace.

Whether you’re on the treadmill, showing up to class, or managing another long week, steady effort still counts. When you’re driven, it’s easy to overlook what you’ve already accomplished in pursuit of the next milestone. But consistency, not perfection, is what leads to growth. If you’re learning to recognize progress in the process itself, not just the finish line, we’re here to support you.

Sometimes procrastination isn’t about laziness, it’s about avoidance. When a task feels overwhelming or the fear of not doing it “perfectly” kicks in, it can feel safer to put it off. For a moment, that delay brings relief. But soon, anxiety creeps back in, stronger than before.

Understanding why procrastination shows up is the first step toward breaking the cycle. At Rise Up, we work with clients to uncover the patterns beneath anxiety and build confidence in taking action, one small step at a time.

Fall is here, and with the shorter days and shifting routines, it’s easy to let your own needs slip to the side. But nourishment isn’t just about food, it’s about how you care for both your body and your mind.

This season, give yourself permission to:
🟣 Choose meals that fuel you instead of skipping when you’re stressed.
🟣 Spend time outside, even on cooler days, to keep your energy steady.
🟣 Make space for practices that calm your mind. Whether it’s journaling, movement, or connection with others.

The way you nurture yourself today can shape how you weather the darker months ahead. If anxiety or stress makes it hard to care for yourself consistently, that’s where counseling comes in.

Today is Unity Day, a national day of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

It’s a reminder that the way we treat each other matters, at home, in schools, at work, and in our communities. Anxiety, isolation, and loneliness grow where people feel unseen or unsafe, but small acts of compassion can make a lasting difference.

At Rise Up, we believe that feeling connected is one of the most powerful protective factors for mental health. Together, we can build communities where everyone feels valued and supported.

🧡 To show your support, wear orange today and stand for unity.

“What if I pass out?”

For many, this is a real fear when it comes to vaccines.. whether it’s the flu shot, a COVID booster, or any medical appointment that involves needles. As flu season approaches, it’s important to remember that these worries aren’t unusual. Anxiety can trigger strong physical sensations like a racing heart, dizziness, and sweating, that feel like you might faint, even if your body is safe.

Counseling at Rise Up can give you tools to manage these anxious responses, so medical care doesn’t feel overwhelming. Whether you or your child are dreading an upcoming shot, you don’t have to face that fear on repeat.
