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.

SAFETY, TECHNOLOGY, AND YOUR FAMILY

Below this post is one of the more haunting videos I've seen that illustrates just how vulnerable our children and teens can be in online spaces. Check it out.

Technology is an inescapable of our world. From my own business page being on social media, to shopping on Amazon, to having every tv show imaginable at your fingertips. One of our biggest jobs is to help our families and kids learn to navigate these digital spaces responsibly. Healthy boundaries help protect their hearts and minds and can prevent exposure to things their eyes and ears aren't ready for. Here are a few simple ways to stay safe online together:

🔹 Keep devices in shared spaces. I would strongly urge parents to not allow tablets, phones, or computers in private bedrooms or at night.
🔹 Talk early and often. Conversations about online safety work better than one-time lectures.
🔹 Set clear boundaries. Create “screen-free” times or zones (like during meals or before bed).
🔹 Know their world. Learn the apps, games, and platforms your kids use — and use them together.
🔹 Model balance. Kids notice how we use technology, too. Let's set the right example as parents.

Building digital safety starts with connection — not control.

REST

In our little area of the world (West Tennessee/West Kentucky), many school systems and families are getting to enjoy a fall break this week. Many take this time to visit the beach, the mountains, or to enjoy a campsite with family and friends.

Rest is such an important part of being human. Rest is not selfish or lazy; it’s part of our natural rhythm that we often neglect. Rest and renewal makes me a better counselor, a better husband, a better father, a better worker, and a better human. A rested me equals extra patience, more calm, and greater clarity as I make decisions each day.

Whether it’s this week, next week, or in the future, I hope you find time for rest and renewal soon!
