Start your week with some Mindfulness

We breathe automatically, we need breath to survive. When we are able to breathe in a mindful and intentional way, it goes beyond the automatic and attunes your mind, body and spirit.

When everything feels uncertain, the mind searches for control.

It wants answers. Guarantees. Clarity.

But sometimes the universe doesn't offer those things.

In those moments, strength shifts from control to focus.

Focus on what’s within reach:
Your actions.
Your values.
How you treat people.
How you take care of yourself.

You may not control the environment,
but you still shape your response to it.

And that matters more than it seems.

If things feel overwhelming:
📞 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (call or text, 24/7)
or reach out to us at BTRpsychotherapy.org

Control what you can. Release what you can’t.

The best part of a dog’s day is spending time with their favorite human. They don’t care if you are having a bad hair day or what material things you have, just that you show up and be present.

When you are on the go and constantly busy it can be a distraction from focusing on healing and growth. Embrace the pause and tend inward. If being still is a challenge, start small. Even 1 minute a day of pause, reflection and Mindful breathing has an exponential effect.

As humans we are capable of experiencing multiple emotions, sometimes all at once. We don’t have to shut off joy and happiness when there is pain/ sadness/ fear. Both can exist in the same space. ❤️
