Change Comes With The Season

From clothing, to activities, to spring, and fall house keeping, without often thinking about it, we often change with the season.

We feel the change in the air around us, we start to get the urge to change within us.

With fall 2020 upon us, and with all what has taken place this year, what is it you would most like to change in your life? What problem or situation would you like to solve once and for all?

Instead of waiting for the problem to go away on its own (which by now you know it won’t), call me. I can help you make the changes you want so you can start the new season fresh. You can contact me here, (414) 881-7401, scott@alwaysabetteryou.com

Changing with the seasons.

Laughter is Good Medicine

Laughter is very good medicine. I know I use it in my sessions. Can you find humor in the world around you? This is a great way to deal with stress; things are hard enough right now.

Personally, I was watching Sanford & Son last week and I was cracking up. Laughed my butt off.

What’s something you saw recently that made you laugh?

Committing To Therapy

Considering therapy is a big step. Connecting with your therapist and following through past your fear can be scary and difficult at times. In this Short Talk with Scott, I discuss the importance of giving yourself 90 days to see if things turn around for you. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6ZpjtG1hpw

You Don’t Have To Wait To Get Started!!

My clients often think they have to know all of the steps and have every detail planned out and perfect before they can start to make changes. But what I teach them is that they will never feel 100% ready, and more often than not, they are ready right now.

You don’t have to have all your ducks in a row to get started on working on you, working on a project, etc.

Start with what you have and what you know, exactly where you are.

Give yourself credit because starting is the hardest part, and we all have to start somewhere. When things get messy, remember how far you’ve already come.

If not today, when?

If you’ve been waiting to be ready or need help figuring out some of the steps, TODAY is YOUR day! Call me to get started. I can be reached here, at (414) 881-7401.

You Are Good, Say It With Me!!

It’s August 1st, so let’s start this month of right. Say it with me!!

Start your day with these positive affirmations, then post them somewhere you can read them everyday. Studies show that using positive and uplifting language, spoken (including in your head) or written (hello journaling) rewires your brain and can actually improve your overall health and success.

Checking in

While staying in contact with friends and loved ones is important, asking “how are you?” can seem habitual. It’s is a perfectly normal way to begin a conversation or meeting and understood as a polite way to express concern, to which “I’m fine” or “Good” are socially acceptable responses. But is “how are you?” really an honest question that solicits an honest response (especially during a pandemic)?

Next time you’re checking in, try using one of these questions instead.

🔉 Have you been sleeping ok?
🔉 How are you taking care of yourself today?
🔉 Checking in on you! I’m here if you need me.
🔉 What habit have you started or stopped recently?
🔉 How have you managed stress?
🔉 How can I support you today?
🔉 Is there anything you need to want to talk about?

How Are You “Really” Feeling?

How are you feeling? How many times have we been asked that question? How many times have we asked it? How many times have we given or received an authentic answer? Most say, I’m good, great, and that’s also what we expect to hear in return. What if we really tuned in and named our “true emotion?”

When you can understand and name your emotions, something magical happens. The mere fact of acknowledgment creates the ability to shift. When we don’t have the words for our feelings, we’re not just lacking descriptive flourish. We’re lacking authorship of our own lives….taken from Permission to Feel from Dr. Mark Brackett.

Not saying you have to really have to share your true emotions, but it is important to really explore in any given time, especially when you are struggling, what emotion you are truly experiencing?

How are you feeling today?
