Trying to stay calm in the chaos. It’s a vibe.

Therapist. Outdoorsist. Hiker. Runner. Dad.

It’s not about having it all figured out, it’s about allowing ourselves to be uncomfortable while we try our best.

A lot of roots and rocks covered by leaves and just past peak here in CT. The drought has limited the usual bright colors. #newengland #connecticut #trailrunning #running

Snow, ice, mud, and waterlogged shoes; March in #connecticut. Gortex works great for keeping water out, but it also keeps water in. #trailrunning #yaktrax

Anxiety pulls us into the unknown and makes us chase certainty. Grounding brings us back to the present and reminds us that this moment is enough. It’s not about ignoring the worry, it’s about anchoring ourselves so it doesn’t take over. #anxiety #resilience #mentalhealth #gratitude

A Friday night shutout for the @hartford-wolf-pack.bsky.social is exactly how a weekend should start!

The longer we practice sitting with anxiety the more resilient we become. Over time we can learn to tolerate discomfort.

Keep pushing through!

Our internal voice sets the tone. Try shifting from “I can’t do this” to “This is tough, but I’m trying.”

Your narrative matters.

Small Wins Matter. Anxiety can make things feel impossible. Break down your tasks to small, manageable steps. Give yourself permission to feel gratitude for the little victories, they add up. #anxiety #mentalhealth #resilience

A trail run on a cold New England day will certainly help settle the mind.
