Private Practice Psychotherapy

🫶 In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week we wanted to highlight the importance of healthy relationships.

🤗 Whether it be friends, family members, romantic partners, or coworkers, it's important that we prioritize relationships that energize us and bring us joy.

💡 Some signs of a healthy relationship are: they want to spend time with you, they motivate you to grow, they celebrate your successes, they make you feel loved, they are willing to be vulnerable, and they show up for you.

🧠 If you notice these signs within a relationship, hold onto it! It's likely that this relationship is positively impacting your wellbeing.

👍 In honor of Mental Health Month, we wanted to talk about core beliefs and how they can affect our well-being.

👀 Core beliefs are the beliefs we have about ourselves, others, and the world. Core beliefs are important because they affect the lens through which we see ourselves and others.

💡 When we shift these central beliefs to be more positive and realistic, it allows us to develop new perspectives on life.

😢 However, when we have rigid core beliefs it often keeps us stuck in negative thinking and leads to mental health complications which can prevent us from building self-love.

🔍 By uncovering our core beliefs about ourselves and the world, we can work on challenging them and creating more accurate self-statements. Some ways to do this are through positive affirmations, self-reflection, thought-stopping, mindfulness, and self compassion.

❓ Did you know May is Mental Health Month?

💜 In honor of this, we have created a self-care challenge for you to work through during this month.

🥰 By making small and steady improvements each day, you can develop good self-care habits and improve your wellbeing.

🧠 Challenge yourself to discover the little joys in each day and to schedule time for activities that make you feel good.

🫶 While May is Mental Health Month, we hope these strategies can inspire you and continue on long after this month and throughout your lifetime.
