Time for some self care ♥️
Being creative is a way to connect with our true self. To find respite, solace, peace, and calm in the midst of a world that sometimes feels out of control. How are you taking care of yourself?

It's Creative Arts Therapies Week! 🎉 I know I've been quiet on social media, but I'm still here. 😊 Some of the things that have recently brought me joy are making collage cards (again), flowers, and continuing to do B&W photography. How have you brought joy to your life recently? And if there hasn't been much of it, maybe it's time... ❤️

At times, it seems impossible to take even one step. Honor that and give yourself time. Time to feel, mourn, and allow all the emotions. And know this: you are loved, strong, and capable, no matter what. I'm here to help if needed ❤️

Today is World Mental Health Day, and here are a few ways I take care of my mental health as a therapist. Spending time in nature, exercise, mindfulness, and doing something I love, photography. And having good friends who sometimes take pictures of you when engaged in all that. ☺️ You are worth your time and attention. How can you take care of you today? I'm here to help. ❤️

Here we are, amidst the dark and light, pain and joy, sorrow and happiness, and much, much more. Life moves around us, and sometimes it may seem difficult to keep up. Maybe it's time to pause and reset? Often, the direction or action we need to take is clearer after we take time to reflect. I'm here to help. 💓

This Psychology Today article mentions Instinctual Trauma Response (ITR) as one of the ways to resolve trauma faster. Get in touch if you're struggling with old or recent trauma or stressful experiences. I have immediate virtual openings available.

When it comes to mental well-being and the health and function of your brain, even small and simple steps can make a huge difference in recovering from childhood adversity.

I'm getting back to b&w photography after decades... It's never too late! I'm so glad I finally found a place to do this, I had been thinking about it for a long time.
What can you bring back to your life, something you enjoyed or used to do, but have been too busy, etc.? Or can you bring in something new and nourishing? What we do with our time is up to us. I'm here to help, should you need it.

"Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."

Perspective
Yesterday I went for a walk, and had to take a detour. The brook I usually can just walk through was overflowing after the rains in the past few days. And so it is with life, we need to find a new path, make a course correction, or a direction we had planned doesn't materialize. When we are faced with this, many times it is hard to let go of the future or path we envisioned, which is understandable. However, what may be available as this new path opens up could be wonderful and fulfilling as well. So keep on taking those steps, one at a time, moment to moment. You got this, and if you would like support as you figure it out, I'm here. I have openings for virtual creative arts and mindfulness based therapy. My website is in my bio, or feel free to message me here.

One of the ways we lose joy/peace/ok'ness in life is thinking something else should be happening right now. Being in the moment, mindfulness, sounds so simple, but not always easy to practice. Particularly when there is turmoil and change. So I invite you, and myself, to take a moment and breathe. Right here, right now, we're alive. ❤️

It's been a while, how are you doing? I've had a tough summer so far, but I'm managing by taking time for self-care and rest. When we can quiet down even when life is stressful, that time pays off in the long run.
