Self care Sunday Listen well, relate, and empathize... but don’t ever compare! Every process we will go through in this life is unique. Experiencing our emotions is no doubt painful, but also essential to getting comfortable with our reality. Whether its accepting the present or getting over the past, give that process the respect it deserves. -Courtney... #whatweresistwillpersist #anxiety #depression #adhd #couplescounselling #couplestherapy #grief #recovery #mentalhealth #wellness #copingskills #CBT #aftertheaffair #healing #kindness #counselling #counsellor #psychotherapy #psychology #therapy #therapist #gottman #EFT #attachment #barrie #innisfil #simcoecounty #barriebusiness #shoplocalbarrie

The only thing standing in the way of your dreams coming to reality is the limitations from your mind. We get stuck in a wheel of sameness and we forget to make a conscious choice to align action + belief. Being stuck is followed by a critical and often judgmental view of self. One. Small. Step.

Happy Friday! How often do you fall into the comparison trap? Are you aware that comparing yourself to someone else is rooted in a belief of lack? ... One of the emotions tied to comparison is jealousy but who really wants to admit they feel jealous? Whether you can acknowledge it not doesn’t take it away.. the only thing that takes it away is facing it head on! Because the truth is.... Not. One. Flipping. Person can dim your light. No one else can take away your greatness. No one else can make you unworthy, undesirable, or less than! You, are the best you this world can have to enjoy...

We live in a yes culture that glorifies busyness, workaholism, and movement. Creating boundaries for ourselves and others is one thing. But how do we get there? Do you ever find yourself having a hard time saying no? Or stressing over having to create an explanation to justify your absence, unwillingness or time to rest? ... Thanks for thinking of me, but I can’t this time. I’m flattered you thought of me, but I’ll pass for now. I’m not interested. This isn’t for me. these are ALL valid. Sometimes a simple feeling is a good enough reason. #anxiety #depression #adhd #OCD #eatingdisorders #grief #recovery #mentalhealth #wellness #copingskills #CBT #ACT #healing #kindness #counselling #counsellor #psychotherapy #psychology #therapy #therapist #gottman #gottmanmethod #neuropsych #neuropsychology #selfcare #barrie #innisfil #simcoecounty #barriebusiness #shoplocalbarrie

Grateful for gifts!!

Part 4 of 4 Who do you share your energy with and who has access to you? We are the average of the five people we spend our time with... what’s your average?... Take some time to reflect on a few things what kinds of conversations are happening around you how do feel in your body in a social setting? Are you light and free or dense and heavy? do you notice the feeling of regret after agreeing to a certain event? Or certain people? do you feel bad or good vibes.. Here’s the truth.. we sell ourself out when we invite in, hang out with, or share ourself with people not in alignment with who we are. Often times we are not taught to honour ourselves... we are taught to be the good girl or the good boy to get along with others and be nice regardless of how you’re treated. Setting boundaries don’t have to be rude / bad/ or wrong and you TOTALLY have the right to share the GIFT of YOU to those who deserve it. And for those who don’t..... your actions are a reflection of you, choose kindness always

Part 3 of 4 What you expose yourself to will affect your experiences. How do you spend your time...... watching the news discern how much time and energy you give. Not all bad, but can be with the absence of healthy information. scrolling social media is your self talk critical and comparing your life to the illusion of the lives of others? participating in gossip speaking ill of others with the intent to harm... sharing information that does not involve you is not helpful, it’s harmful. Is it healthy and positive? Does it leave you feeling peace and joy? Digesting these can make you feel fearful, worried, heavy, guilty, and many other things Can you add.. podcasts of your interest that enhance your growth reading or listening to information that help you overcome something that you find challenging show others kindness - because the truth is, healthy people don’t treat others unkindly. They are unwell, unhealthy, and likely hurting themselves. Nourish your soul with healthy information that enhances your well being... you’re worth it!

Part 2 of 4 Self talk- the running dialogue playing the background. It’s the way you speak to yourself throughout your day. The thoughts you have as you go though your experiences...... How do you identify yours? Is it a script or movie? Is it a book or memoir? Is it a horror or family friendly? Tune in, ask? You wouldn’t believe how many people aren’t aware of their inner dialogue.. often I hear, I’m not thinking of anything! I don’t really have one If a tree falls in the forest and no one sees it, does it still fall? The Andre is yes, same is true for your thoughts, emotions and dialogue Can you try to give yourself a little more compassion? - acknowledge the big pores on your face or the imperfecton of your skin tone... sure, can you find something you like? Little bits at a time... you might have had a bad day but can you look back and find one thing you liked? You may or may not believe this but my journey of self love started with me waking up every morning hating myself....I started saying I love you I didn’t believe it in the beginning. Like many others, I had a self hatred that was deeply imbedded. Slowly though, it started to shift. Does that mean I wake up everyday in thoughts and feelings of self love.. not always. I still get upset from time to time. I still fall into the illusion of perfection. I can sometimes spend too much time thinking about something that doesn’t deserve the time I give it.... however, it changes when you can acknowledge that a thought is just that, empty thoughts. What gives thoughts merit is a behaviour. So, do I still engage is self destructive behaviour, no. Perhaps that’s the difference. We have this idea that it’s supposed to be perfect. That the negative doesn’t exist. I think we need to come to place where we can observe a negativity and not identity with it. I am not worthless because I made a mistake... all humans are capable of mistakes it’s part of our make up. I am not unloveable because someone doesn’t know how to love me, they have a story too.. can I choose to love and talk to my self compassionately.. it’s all starts with a small voice

The countdown to 2021 is on!

Part 1 of 4 Do you wake up rushed trying to fit everything you need to do in a small window? Are you running though your day in your mind before you hop out of bed and feel as though you have run a marathon... well, you have. Is your self talk critical or kind?... Do you expose yourself you growth mindset, information that can change your limitations, and feed your soul love or the other? Do you put yourself in social situations or people who leave you feel drained and tried? Are you making yourself available to others who aren’t in alignment with your soul? (This does not mean we can’t embrace each others differences. It means when there’s differences we show up kind and considerate free from judgment) The journey of change can feel hard. When you look at the top of the mountain we can become paralyzed in the fear of the journey. Can you build tolerance to sit with discomfort and take one small step forward.....
