A quick reminder from your favorite therapist. Give yourself permission not to have all the answers today. Just take things one step at a time. You’ll find your way.

A new year can bring some pressure to leave it all behind and start a new. Sometimes we can focus on the highs and lows that happen and overlook the day to day progress we are making. Did you have a day where you laughed a good belly laugh? Did you let yourself try something new? Did you allow yourself to process your emotions or even cry? Did you set a health boundary with someone or with yourself? Did you wake up and get out of bed? I am here to tell you that your experiences in 2023 are not meaningless! It is in the day to day that we grow the most then we flex those muscles when the highs and lows come. I am encouraging you to take the lessons and the growth with you into 2024. It is possible to be hopeful and excited for the new year while also honoring the seeds you planted and the growth experienced in the previous one.💜

Thank you 2023... Welcome 2024!!!

The holiday season can be a lot. A lot of joy. A lot of excitement. A lot of people. A lot of expectations. A lot of situations that do not always present in our day to day lives. Here are a few reminders to help you manage everything that the holidays can bring.

1. During the holiday season some people may feel obligated to put their own thoughts and feelings to the side, or like there are limits to how much you can express yourself. Maybe it's a tradition that you have out grown, a name that no longer feels comfortable to you, or maybe you have mixed feeling about the holidays due to life experiences such as loss, depression, or gaining new perspective. Remember, your thoughts and feelings matter always.

2. People may feel tempted to relax or break the boundaries they have worked so hard to maintain in their daily lives. A few examples might be overspending when you have set financial limits for yourself, tolerating people in your space in a way that does not feel comfortable to you or your family, or allowing people to treat you in a way that you feel is unacceptable, disrespectful, demeaning, or hurtful. In the moment, breaking the boundary may feel like the easier path to avoid conflict or rejection, but often people walk away feeling disappointed in themselves. Remember, it might be uncomfortable, but you won't regret maintaining the health boundaries you created.

3. It is okay to say no, or I've had enough, or I thought this was going to work but now it doesn't feel right. It is okay to do what you feel is best for you even if that means changing your mind. Remember to check-in with yourself regularly and make adjustments as needed.

Sending you peaceful wishes this holiday season and always.

You don't need a holiday to give you permission to rest. Rest is necessary because you are human. For those who struggle with making rest a priority, I hope today was the beginning of you embracing your humanity. Rest.
