I was going to say "Just a little reminder... " but it's not little, is it? It's big. It's valid. It's a reminder that you are worth all the good you want for yourself. . . . #discoverlangleycity #discoverdowntownlangley #langley #hellolangley #brookswood #willoughby #walnutgrove #claytonheights #wellness #mentalhealth #emotions #emotionalregulation #therapy #selfhelp #counselling #counsellor #quotablequotes

I picked these rocks from a riverbed yesterday. They're both beautiful, with their life experiences clear for all to see. The bigger one had been under pressure, with cycles of heating and cooling that had filled cracks with deposits that had not broken the rock but made it stronger over millennia. The smaller one is pure layers, evidence of wave after wave of sediments deposited. Some are stronger, some are weaker and are worn away. All are necessary to make this rock look t...he way it does. These are not the plain rocks. These are the ones that are worth picking up. We are not plain rocks. We are shaped in a similar way through the good and the bad and - as hard as it is at the time - develop strength and character through difficulties. Embrace your layers. . . . #therapy #wellness #mentalhealth #counselling #counsellor #layers #hellobc #brookswood #walnutgrove #willoughby #discoverlangleycity #discoverdowntownlangley #langleycity #claytonheights #hellolangley #langleybc #geology #rocks #river #beautifulbc #pacificnorthwestrocks See more

Mental health problems are sneaky? Oh you bet your butt they are. https://mysparkcounselling.com/when-mental-health-problems/

Sometimes the darkness seems overwhelming, especially when we get into our heads about things and negative thoughts spiral. So spend time with those who can help pull you out of it, even if just for a little bit. Do two things a day that you enjoy and that you can do just for yourself. Plan something small that you can look forward to. And reach out, please reach out, if you need help finding that light again

Happy Place - where is yours? This week I had a really strong need to get out and be amongst flowers. Last summer I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the UK and I found such comfort and relaxation amongst the patchwork green fields and wildflowers. I think this had something to do with it But there are no planes flying and I don't have an extra $1.5K floating around anyway. It turns out that the Rose Garden at QE Park is my local version of that. It gave me everything: visual, auditory, olfactory (you could SMELL the roses from the road!), and mental comfort. It set me right. Do you have a local happy place?
