Cornerstone Counselling & Wellness

A little waterfall hidden through the trees on a mountain trail.

Time in nature for me is time of refreshing.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated I highly recommend bathing yourself in nature.

Self-care is the act of caring for yourself while self-compassion is affording YOU the opportunity to care for yourself.

Things can easily get out of balance. You can set the rhythm of your life simply by slowing down.

Do you feel that internal tension when you are forced to rush? I do. And I don’t like it, and I won’t conform to that pattern.

Rushing is meant for waterfalls not for you or me.

Slow down, friend. It might feel a little rebellious to go against the rapids.

But my friend, Let the water do the rushing, while you simply stay.

Breath work, guided visualization, self care. A little early week reset to conserve peace and balance.

It doesn't always look like people-pleasing on the surface. Sometimes it looks like covering for someone. Making the excuse before they have to. Absorbing the fallout so they never actually feel what their choice cost. It feels like kindness in the moment, but it's really just a different shape of the same old habit, keeping the peace instead of letting the truth land.

Your mind learned somewhere that other people's comfort mattered more than honesty. So it protects them from consequences, just as it once learned to protect itself from conflict, by stepping in before things get uncomfortable for anyone.

Real empathy can coexist with a consequence. You can care about someone and still let them feel the natural result of what they did. In fact, that's often the more respectful option, treating them as capable of handling reality instead of needing to be shielded from it.

Let the boundary hold, even when your empathy wants to soften it. ⚡

If you are one of those individuals who experience challenges during seasonal changes you are not alone. Seasonal shifts, elements, weather systems and climatic differences affect us all differently. If you need support I have appointments available.

Having my first float in a sensory deprivation tank today was a great experience. I am on target with making May all mine. Taking time for some much needed rest and renewal.
