I stuck this sticky note to my desk today. Something about this question really resonated with me. "What can I do to care for myself right now?" I've been talking to clients a lot lately about stress management and how it's something to take seriously and to engage in routinely. Our bodies need to be tended to, to be nourished, to be care for, and at any given moment we can mindfully engage in tending. Taking deep breaths, stretching our hands, shaking out tension, getting a drink of water, stepping outside, asking ourselves how we feel, noticing where we are holding tension, etc. I invite everyone reading this to consider in this moment, "What can I do to care for myself right now?"

I know some folks might read these interventions and think they sound a bit cheesy, but how we talk to ourselves can make quite the impact on our mental health.

I always encourage my clients to separate themselves from their brain. Your brain is simply an organ taking in, sorting, and interpreting data. Some of our thoughts are automatic outputs from the brain. Practicing these interventions can essentially adjust the stored brain data so that your automatic thoughts are less self-critical.

Feelings are simply your brain's attempt to communicate needs. Fear=a need for safety, security, etc. Loneliness=a need for connection. Boredom=a need for play.
