This Wellness Wednesday, we interrupt any potential doom-scrolling to take you on a mini adventure! Sometimes, reality places limits on what we can and can't do. Table-top role playing games transcend that boundary and allow players to explore new themes or play a character that is vastly different from their reality. This is why when applied in a therapeutic setting, these games become a tool to build confidence, establish community, and learn new skills all while having fun!

Does this sound like something you or someone you know would benefit from? Fill out our pre-registration form for Adventure Forward, our D&D Therapy Group, at www.explorepathforward.com/events.

This mindful moment is meant to assist in letting go of things that are ready to be released. Whether you release it on paper, through movement, or as a visual exercise, this can help you make space for yourself by releasing that which is no longer serving you.

🧠Ever catch yourself in an unhelpful thought loop? As if the story your mind tells you is in conflict with reality? Cognitive distortions are biased, irrational ways of thinking that can create a negative view of reality. We all experience them sometimes, but when they become frequent, they can have a real impact on your mental well-being.

📸Join us for a 2-hour in-person workshop where photography becomes a mindful practice of seeing. Through guided exercises, reflection, and a photo walk, you are invited to use your phone(or camera) as a tool for awareness, creativity, and self-expression. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply curious, this workshop is about slowing down, noticing details, and capturing images that hold meaning.

🖼Bring two photos from your life and we will begin a journey of connection with our emotions through images. With a small group of participants, you’ll experience hands-on practices, shared dialogue, and space to reflect on what your photos reveal. You’ll leave with a deeper sense of presence, inspiration, and a personal intention for your path forward.

This mindful moment can be written in a journal or simply done by taking a moment to think about your response to this prompt. Consider what you would say to a friend in your situation and apply that tone to write (or say) something to yourself. This is a gentle reminder to be compassionate towards yourself.

Share this post with a friend to gently remind them that they are worthy of self-compassion.
