We have reached 200 followers!! Proof that we have a community of people who care and were don’t have to do it alone! Thank you so much! And if you have not liked, shared or invited someone, that’s ok! You still can. You never know how you may impact someone else who may privately feel they want to get help but don’t know where to start! Sharing gives “social permission” that it’s ok to reach out and can do so by sending a message! It has happened and will happen more!

I just found a wonderful mantra!!

"It's just a sensation
There's nothing to fear
It's just a sensation
Not sure why it's here
It's just a sensation
When it goes away
It's just a sensation
I will have a great day"

-UNKNOWN-

A sensation. An emotion. A thought. Before we attach a judgement of good or bad; let's call it like it is (sensation, emotion, thought) and recognize it will not stay and ruin the day.

Happy National Cat Day! Chad has not been to the office yet but Ares was a great cat coworker! Share your best cat photos!

Lets discuss how cats help our mental wellness!

When you’ve had a hard day, coming come and spending some time petting a fuzzy feline can cause your body to produce stress reducing hormones. When you do so, your heart rate and blood pressure decrease and your anxiety levels normalize.



An added benefit to having a cat is the feeling of companionship, and how that friendship positively affects mental health. Having a cat can help people with feelings of loneliness and provide purpose. Having an animal react to you, rely on you, and love you in such a simple and pure way can elevate positive mental health. The relationship established with a pet is one that offers predictability, encouragement, and positivity, which can be a big help for many that may experience negativity within human relationships.



If you are looking for a great place to check out the benefits of being with a cat on your mood try a cat cafe!
