What I really want for the holiday is...simplicity.

No, seriously. We're up against a lot. There have been some unexpected losses. We're dealing with a new variant. Trying to embrace the end of the year, holiday season and the new year. If you're feeling fatigued and uncertain about what comes next. Take it easy - and #takecare.
You hold the power to change the way you and partner communicate. The improvement may be closer than you think. Words have power if you use them as tools and not weapons. #GottmanMethod #GottmanInstitute #healthycommunication

Before you do the things you "have to" do, worry about the stressful things or pop off, take 5 seconds. Deep, slow and intentional breaths. Trust me, it helps. With so many things that feel out of our control, we can control how we experience or approach those things. #breathe

Appreciating silence IS self care. Ideally, the goal is balance and duality = yin and yang. We can love activities and engagement and being with other people but also need to be able to appreciate silence to reset.

Decide. Today. That every day should include some form of happiness or joy. Find something you can take off your list. Exhale. Lessen your self-judgment and silence your inner critic. #YouGothis #dailymantra

Feeling aimless? Joyless? But not depressed? You’re languishing.
