Tips from Aster Wellness Centre on self care: Have you felt extremely stressed or overwhelmed lately? We get it! COVID has been creating so many unexpected chan...ges to people’s lives that we often feel like we can’t keep up. Most of us will have a list of life transitions we go through over just a span of one year. These are stressful on their own, and now we have a pandemic on top of it! But one question that we ask our clients: when was the last time you focused on self-care? The answer quite often: what should I do for my self-care? A quick google search will show you things such as taking a bath or reading a book. Even though we totally agree that these are important things, we want to dig deeper than that too! What is truly important to you? What gives you energy? What relieves stress? Clients have many unique and interesting self-care ideas, and many need to be reinforced or improved. In counselling sessions, we teach our clients the importance of self-care that requires some gentle effort, not treating it only as a convenience. As the saying goes, you get out of it what you put into it!

Thanks Aster Wellness Centre for these great tips on improving your mental health: Create Goals Everyone knows the importance of creating & meeting our goals; o...ur personal & professional goals are the way that things get done! At Aster, we help you to create realistic & achievable goals while still developing one’s aspirations and expressions of hope. Many people have the tendency to make their goals grand, and that is great! But how do we get there? That is the part where many of us start to lose motivation to take our first steps; it seems too far away, too difficult, too complicated. NO! You can get anywhere you want when you take the right path! Our counselling team teaches clients how to take smaller steps that build momentum & motivation, making your goals more realistic and achievable. It is so satisfying to check some goals off your list, right? We are here to support you creating them and making sure that you are feeling motivated to achieve all of them! You’ve got this! Self-Talk While our thoughts are our own, many people tend not to pay a great deal of attention to what we actually say to ourselves. Spend a moment to consider how you typically motivate yourself. What words go through your head when you encounter a challenge or formulate a goal? As studied in countless applications such as sports-psychology and military environments, business, and academic situations, the messages we rehearse during moments of self-talk have tremendous influence on how we take-on and complete our basic tasks or larger ambitions. Those who speak negatively to themselves have a lower chance of success while those who focus on positive messaging show significant shift of belief and performance. Rehearse positive belief: I can do this. I’ll be okay even if this is challenging. I’ve done this before, so I will do it again! Regular counselling sessions help to set positive and realistic messages that counter anxiety and negative self-talk. You’re worth it! Communication is still the key Our internal dialogue is important for our motivation and the achievement of goals, but how we speak with each other is vital to how we build connection in the world. With COVID-19 in the mix, including restrictions, lockdown and various protocols, it has put a strain on relationships. In many cases: increased relationship stress, frustration, argument & conflict, and general miscommunications are a result. At Aster Wellness Centre, Individual counselling sessions or couples-counselling teaches clients how to communicate in a healthy way, making sure that the relationship has tangible tools to put in place when it encounters stress, heated discussion, or moments of pain. Our goal is to help partners heal fractures within their relationships by improving their communication strategies and regrowing trust and resilience. Tough topics, resentment, and betrayals need to be talked about in order to improve connection and counselling can teach you how to build your skills, grow patience & confidence, and have your voice heard when it matters most!
