Thoughts come to us whether we want them to or not. Changing the way we think is about two things.
1. It's about changing our perspective by learning as much as we can about the world outside ourselves.
2. It's about noticing our reactions to our thoughts and deciding to accept or reject them.

Almost everyone I talked to in the past few days said, "I can't believe another year has gone by." That sense of fleeting is as good a reason as any to dust off our dreams and reflect on what we want and how much we want it. Here's to a happy and fulfilling new year!

It's that time of year again. Studies show we are more likely to achieve our goals when we write them down - not just the big, overarching goals, but all the incremental mini-goals it'll take to get to the big ones. Remember: "Done is better than perfect" and "Progress over perfection."

We learn to handle difficulties through the practice of what clinicians call distress tolerance. It's an effective way to reduce the emotional connection we attach to stressful events and fearful feelings.

It all works together. Our energy, our motivation, and our quality of life are dependent on our willingness to exercise our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. When we don't attend to each of these aspects of ourselves, the part we neglect can atrophe.

We forget how effective the most basic coping skills really are. A single slow breath can interrupt that momentum just enough to help us reset. It's simple, but it works.

There's a saying: If you don't make time for wellness, you'll have to make time for illness. Do a quick body scan. Are your shoulders up around your ears? Teeth clenched? How's your posture - open & inviting or closed & withdrawn?
Other signs of stress: indigestion, migraines, & muscle tension.

Self-esteem doesn’t arrive in big dramatic moments. It’s built by practicing positive action. Whether we set an intention at the beginning of the day or reflect on our actions at the end of the day (or both), this practice has a steady impact on our sense of who we are.

External pressures, internal guilt, and old stories we’re still reacting to can build up inside us and show up as poor sleep, physical ailments, and tension in our relationships. As we see how much noise we’ve been living with, we realize how much relief we can find when we begin to clear space.

Each boundary we reinforce, each habit we practice, each situation we walk away from or walk toward—that’s a door.

Sometimes we wait for clarity to strike before we act.
We want certainty. A guarantee. The “right” next move.
But in recovery and in life, clarity often comes after we act.
We take the step that’s available to us, even if we’re unsure. It doesn’t have to be perfect. This is how we build confidence.

Sometimes growth and healing start with discomfort. Facing things we’d rather ignore. But that's how we recognize what needs to change. When we remember the version of ourselves we don’t want to return to, we make different choices. Even when it stings.

Courage rarely feels comfortable. It manifests in our decisions to show up when it’s hard or let ourselves be seen without a mask.
When we step into discomfort and stay with it long enough to see it change us, we grow. We don’t have to leap—we just need to step.

We don’t need to have it all figured out before we speak up or ask for help. But in recovery—and in therapy—we often pause to look inward before looking outward. We get curious.
We want to be understood—but that starts with understanding ourselves.

Some of us spent years trying to control everything. We clung to certainty, thinking it would keep us safe.
Surrender isn’t giving up. It’s giving in to the truth: We don’t control other people or outcomes or the future. We only get to choose how we show up in this moment, right now.

Our relationships change when we prioritize our wellbeing.
We stop explaining ourselves to people who don’t listen.
We stop twisting ourselves to keep the peace when the cost is our own.
We notice which relationships deplete us and which support us.
