12 Strategies for Preventing Burnout

#StressManagement #Burnout #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness Feeling tired, exhausted, and sluggish? Finding it increasingly difficult to complete even the simplest of tasks without feeling stressed out, angry, or frustrated? Somewhere along the way, you crossed an imaginary line between "really tired" and "too exhausted to function;" and you are not quite sure when. Somehow you looked up and your work-life balance is completely out of sync. Boundaries are blurred or burnt t

Mindfulness for Adults with Stuff to Do

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #ManagingEmotions #Balance #Mindfulness When is the last time you really, really enjoyed something just for the sake of doing it? Not because you had to. Not because you got paid to. Not because there was no one else to do it. But because you really, really enjoyed it. Can you recall what the event or situation was? How did it feel not worrying about the outcome? In my big adult life, I find that there are not many opportun

Shadows from Our Past: Triumphs in Black History Pt. 3

#BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #ForgottenHeroes #ForgottenHistory #Inspiration #BlackResistance #Wellness #IntellectualWellness Let's be honest, Black History Month can be a little uncomfortable regardless of the color of your skin. When you have human compassion and empathy, it is difficult to learn of the struggle for the basic human right of self-determination- a God given right some would say that was denied to generations of people based on a systematic governmental construct o

Life in Balance: 5 Simple Daily Habits for Emotional Well-Being

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #EmotionalWellness #Balance #EmotionalWellbeing "It's a marathon, not a sprint." ~Unknown Generally speaking, none of us want to feel bad. I'm pretty sure of this assertion. As a therapist and coach, my career is predicated on my ability to connect with people and help them feel better. Often times as we start our journey together, I lose them when I tell them that too much positivity can in fact be toxic and detrimental to

Reflections on a Year Well Spent

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #Reflections "On January 2, 2022, you and I embarked on a new journey together." For years, I wanted to be an author. I can remember when I was in third grade, I used to love watching PBS also known as APT (Alabama Public TV) at that time. One of the commercials in between programming was about kids who had authored books. I remember thinking then, I want to author a book. I remember that summer, garnering my Trapper Keeper

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #HolidayCountdown #Frugal Family obligations, school, work, finances, holidays are just a few of the competing areas of our lives that can get in the way of our taking care of ourselves. You might say to yourself, "I'd love to practice stress management, but I just don't have any more time in my overly cramped list of things to do. Or you may be saying, "I don't have the money to spend." This may very well be the case. But

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #Wellbeing #Procrastination I can remember as a little girl hearing the phrase: "Wait broke the wagon." Reflecting on that, I could think of no more of a fitting title for today's blog article. Procrastination is something we all are familiar with in one way or the other. Either we are the one procrastinating or the one complaining about the procrastination of someone else. What is procrastination? Why do we do it? How do w

#StressManagement #SelfCare #SelfNurturing #Wellness #PhysicalWellness #EmotionalWellness #Sleep #Melatonin #MelatoninFoods One of the number one complaint I receive as a therapist, coach, and friend is about sleep. In our fast-paced, hustle mentality society the consensus seems to be that we aren't progressing if we aren't busy. And we are always busy. When it comes to sacrifices to be made in order for us to get more done, sleep is one of the first things out the window. Th
