I frequently work with adults who were parentified as children. It had an impact on your mental health when you were a child/youth and it still impacts how you live your life now. Come in and let’s talk about it! 402-625-0047. Jenny@shininglightne.com

Letting go can be one of the hardest things to do. Whether it’s a job, a belief, or a relationship - walking away often brings guilt even when we're honoring our own wants and needs. But what if we reframed it? What if letting go isn’t about losing something, but about making space for something new (and so much better) to find you?

I like this!

Boundaries aren’t about distance — they’re about clarity.

They tell others, “Here’s how to love me without losing yourself.”

In therapy, I see how often people mistake boundaries for rejection.

But healthy boundaries are an act of connection — they make real intimacy possible.

How can we use this time of increasing darkness to grow?
A few ideas…
- Getting cozy in bed with a good book helps your attention span, imagination and happiness to grow!
- Trying new recipes that warm your home and belly with comforting smells and flavors grows your experiences and joy! My husband and I baked a spice cake over the weekend and it made the house smell amazing! It tasted great too! 🤤
-With less time outside doing yard work and more time inside, it’s the perfect time to craft and take joy in creative projects! Fix a warm mug of cocoa or tea and create something. I have some diamond art kits that I’m going to try! I’ve never done diamond art before!
-Practice mindfulness by taking an evening walk in the dark and focus on your five senses: listening to your feet crunching through leaves, smell the scents of the fall air, feel the cool air on your skin, taste the air or sip a warm drink (don’t eat leaves- lol!) see the stars or leaves falling from the trees…experience the moment and let go of the worries and thoughts that go around and around in your mind. Ahhhhh…..
