✨This is why I love what I do.✨

There is a version of yourself 12 months from now that will be glad you made one...ONE small change in your daily walk.

Most of us tend to go way too big on changes we want to make for a new year, only to come plummeting back down to earth 2 weeks into January once we're craving sugar again. (Don't ask me how I know...)

But the truth is that ONE small change is all you need to make a big impact over time.

- Taking 3 slow breaths before reacting
- Going to bed 15 minutes earlier
- Putting your phone down during meals
- Stepping outside for 5 minutes of sunlight
- Drinking one extra glass of water
- Writing down one thought instead of holding it in
- Saying “I’ll think about it” instead of immediately saying yes
- Moving your body, even for a few minutes
- Replacing self-criticism with self-compassion

None of these things changes your life in an instant. But consistency with ONE change I need to make in my life can make a huge difference over time.

There is a version of yourself 12 months from now wondering what change you'll make in your life. What is that ONE thing?

2025 is in the books!

I started Made Well Counseling with the intention of being a resource and a blessing to my community. Service is at the heart of Made Well Counseling and it always will be.

What I didn't expect was how much Made Well Counseling would be a blessing to me!

I get to work with wonderful clients who do incredible work. Most people think counseling is hard - "how do you listen to people all day?" - but the reality is that my job is the easy part. Clients walk out of the door and make meaningful and important changes to their lives and I get to be a witness to that.

- Stories told
- Relationships mended
- Insights turned into action
- Addictions battled
- Hearts revealed
- Pasts stripped of their power

I can't believe we're this close to starting 2026, but I am ready for the work that awaits!

PRESENCE over PRESENTS

Yes...it's cliche. But it's true. Make sure you're giving your presence to the most important people in your life.

Take 60 seconds to watch this and let me know what you think.

GRATITUDE

Made Well Counseling would not exist without several other trusted providers in our community.

Today I was eager to finally make a few "deliveries" as my way of saying "THANK YOU!" to trusted practices that partner with Made Well Counseling in caring for the people of Henry County and beyond.

Gratitude has a tremendous power to shift our mindset and change our inner world.

The discipline of gratitude is not about denying your pain but an intentional choice to create space for the blessings in the midst of the pain. It can be as simple as pausing to notice the smallest joys you see each day.

Here are three simple reminders:

✨ Gratitude Breaks Negative Cycles
Gratitude shifts our mental patterns by pulling us out of automatic worry, comparison, and frustration, helping us notice what’s still good.

✨ Gratitude Strengthens Emotional Health.
Regular gratitude practices are linked with better mood, reduced stress, and a deeper sense of contentment.

✨ Gratitude Deepens Connection.
Expressing gratitude—toward others or even toward ourselves—builds trust, increases empathy, and nurtures healthier relationships.

Even a few intentional moments each day can make a big difference. Try taking a "gratitude walk" where you notice the sights and sounds around you. Attempt a "gratitude journal" where you periodically (or daily) write down things you're thankful for. Better yet, find a person who has had an impact on your recently and tell them face to face how grateful you are for them.

Instead of "what's wrong with me?"
Consider "what happened to me?"

The difference in these two questions is powerful.

Chances are, you're going through a challenge in your life right now as you are reading this post.

- A friend or loved one is suffering.
- Illness has struck yourself or a friend close to you.
- Your child is experiencing heartache and there'e nothing you can do for them.
- You've lost a loved one or you know that time is near.
- You are beginning to face the demons from your past for the first time.
- Your faith is faltering due to very real "Church Hurt."
- A door in life that you thought was opening for you was suddenly slammed in your face.

David Kessler, Author of "Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief" says that our job is to experience pain when it gets handed to us, not avoid it.

But that's the bad news.

The good news? You don't have to suffer or experience pain alone. Reach out to a trusted person in your life and share your story with them. Chances are, you'll discover you're not as alone as you think.

Made Well Counseling Services exists for this very reason: to walk with people in challenging stages of life in order to help them reach their next step. To process pain and suffering. To be Made Well.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is a phone call, email, or text away.
