From the therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions 💙

As we get closer to the holidays, many people feel a mix of emotions—joy, stress, grief, excitement, and exhaustion can all exist at the same time. If today feels overwhelming, that doesn’t mean you’re doing the season “wrong.” It means you’re human.

A gentle reminder for today:
🕯️ You’re allowed to slow down
🕯️ You don’t have to meet everyone’s expectations
🕯️ Taking care of your mental health is just as important as checking off your to-do list

If the holidays bring up stress, family tension, or emotional burnout, therapy can be a safe space to process it all. Our therapists and interns are here to support you through this season—exactly as you are.

Be kind to yourself today. That’s more than enough. 💛

🎄🧶 National Ugly Sweater Day Reminder 🧶🎄
From the therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions 💙
Today is National Ugly Sweater Day—and while those sweaters might be loud, mismatched, or downright questionable, the message behind the day is actually pretty powerful.
Life is heavy sometimes. We carry stress, responsibilities, and expectations that can make everything feel serious all the time. Giving ourselves permission to laugh, be a little silly, and not strive for perfection is good for our mental health.
Wearing an ugly sweater (or simply enjoying the humor of it) reminds us that:
✨ It’s okay to let go
✨ Joy doesn’t have to be productive
✨ We don’t always have to have it together
So today, embrace the goofy, laugh at yourself, and remember—taking life a little less seriously can be a healthy coping skill.
If you have an ugly sweater, please feel free to post a picture in the comments.
In the meantime, If you’re struggling to find lightness during the holiday season, our therapists are here to support you. You don’t have to navigate it alone. 💛

❄️ Baby, It’s Cold Outside ❄️

A Reminder from our therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions💙

When the temperatures drop and we’re spending more time indoors, our routines—and our moods—can shift. While winter can feel isolating, it can also be an opportunity to slow down and care for your mental health in new ways.

Here are a few therapist-approved tips to make the most of cold weather and indoor time:

🕯️ Create cozy routines — warm drinks, soft lighting, and comforting music can help regulate your nervous system
📖 Stay mentally engaged — read, journal, try puzzles, or learn something new
🧘‍♀️ Keep your body moving — gentle stretching, yoga, or short indoor workouts can boost mood and energy
🤍 Stay connected — schedule phone calls, game nights, or movie nights with people you care about
☀️ Find the light — open blinds during the day and get outside briefly when possible

Winter doesn’t have to mean disconnection or burnout. Small, intentional moments can make indoor time nourishing instead of draining.

If the colder months are impacting your mood or motivation, our therapists are here to help—both in person and through telehealth. You don’t have to navigate the season alone.

🌿 Recognizing & Managing Chronic Stress
From the therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions

Chronic stress can quietly build over time, often becoming “the new normal” before we realize how much it’s affecting us. Here are some common signs to look out for:

⚠️ Signs of Chronic Stress:
• Constant fatigue or low energy
• Irritability or feeling on edge
• Trouble sleeping or frequent waking
• Muscle tension, headaches, or stomach issues
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained
• Increased use of food, substances, or distractions to cope

The good news? You don’t have to navigate this alone. There are effective ways to manage chronic stress and reclaim your sense of balance.

🌿 Ways to Manage Stress:
• Practice grounding or deep breathing exercises
• Set healthy boundaries and protect your time
• Create routines that support rest and self-care
• Move your body—gentle stretching counts
• Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps
• Stay connected with supportive people
• Seek professional support when stress becomes too heavy

Our licensed therapists and interns at Mind Over Matter Counseling are here to walk with you—whether you need help understanding where the stress is coming from, managing symptoms, or rebuilding healthier patterns.

💛 You deserve support. You deserve relief.
Reach out to schedule a one-on-one session and let’s take the next step together.

🍪 Happy National Cookie Day!
—from the therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions

Today is a sweet reminder that small joys matter. Whether you’re baking with family, sharing treats with coworkers, or enjoying your favorite cookie alone with a cozy drink—moments like these can support our mental health more than we realize.

Here’s why simple pleasures (like cookies!) play a role in emotional well-being:

✨ They create connection — Baking or sharing treats can strengthen relationships and boost a sense of belonging.
✨ They spark nostalgia — Familiar tastes and smells can bring comfort and grounding.
✨ They offer mindfulness — Slowing down to savor a warm cookie encourages presence and reduces stress.
✨ They bring joy — Small moments of pleasure add up and can lift your mood.

And for those who struggle with the holidays, food guilt, or stress around eating—this is also your reminder:

💛 You are allowed to enjoy treats without shame.
Your worth is not measured by your diet.
Joy is part of wellness, too.

Whether you celebrate by baking, sharing, or simply savoring a quiet moment, we hope today brings a little bit of sweetness to your mental health journey.

🛑 Boundaries & Your Mental Health This Holiday Season
—from the therapists at Mind Over Matter Counseling Solutions

The holidays are a time for connection, celebration, and family—but they can also bring stress, overwhelm, and emotional triggers. One of the most powerful tools for protecting your mental health is setting healthy boundaries.

What are boundaries?
Boundaries are limits we set with others to protect our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. They help us:
• Preserve energy
• Reduce stress
• Prevent resentment
• Maintain healthy relationships
• Feel more in control of our lives

How to set boundaries effectively:
✨ Know your limits — Reflect on what feels comfortable and what feels draining or unsafe.
✨ Be clear and direct — Communicate your needs calmly and respectfully.
✨ Use “I” statements — Focus on how something affects you rather than blaming others.
✨ Stay consistent — Boundaries only work when you enforce them.
✨ Practice saying no — “No” is a complete sentence. You don’t always need to explain yourself.
✨ Plan for pushback — Some people may resist your boundaries; that’s normal. Stay firm in self-care.

Examples for the holiday season:
• Limiting time with relatives who trigger stress
• Saying no to extra social obligations that feel overwhelming
• Scheduling downtime to rest and recharge
• Choosing topics of conversation that feel safe

Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s essential self-care. By protecting your mental health, you can enjoy the holidays with more peace, joy, and presence.

💙 Mind Over Matter Counseling
Supporting you in creating healthy limits and nurturing your well-being this season.
