Don’t Give Up!!

The last several months may have knocked you for a loop or derailed some of your dreams and/or plans. Have to keep in mind to stay healthy physically and mentally, so when this passes, you will be able to ready to move forward.

Goal For Right Now!!

Covid-19 has caused a lot of unknowns.

Am I going to be safe? Are my loved ones going to be safe?

How am I going to manage?

How long are they going to keep this Safe at Home going?

What am I going to do?

Are all of your thoughts about the future stressing you out?

Think about today. Right here. And right now. What can you do today that moves you in the right direction (or just makes you laugh)?

You Don’t Have To Do This Alone!!

Once again, about 1.5 months into this social distance lock-down, there is a ton going on in the world right now. Schools are closed, jobs are being cut, businesses are being lost, the future is uncertain. All of these things are enough to create anxiety, then add the everyday worries.

Here’s your gentle reminder that not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry. You don’t have to go this alone.

I believe we can all gain from talking to someone when things get rough. And it’s definitely rough out there right now.

If things are weighing you down right now, call me to see if I can help.

Not Giving Up!!

I know we are in some trying times and many are hurting financially, and otherwise, including myself.

Here is a short story of not giving and giving up from a friend of mine Max Bollkman Zuleta of Art Below Zero Ice Sculptures.

I hope it inspires you to keep moving forward, I know his words move me forward..

Thank you Max Bollkman Zuleta for sharing this: The word of the season for every business owner is “pivot”. Since ice sculpting is pretty much in a halt for who knows how long, I’ll need to keep my business and family afloat, well, it turns out it’s very difficult to learn a new sculpting technique in a new material but for &$@& sakes I have survived civil wars, flying bullets over my head, drug cartels, corrupted police, politicians and military and I swear this fucking virus is not going to take me out of business, I should have opened a steakhouse though, we as small businesses are pretty much on our own, I have never collected unployment and is not in my plans.

Covid-19 Fear Bringing Back Past Trauma.

The fear of the unknown. Being confined to little movement, brought upon by the Covid-19 is a recipe for heightened worry and possibly the re-opening of past traumas. If this is you or anyone you know, please reach out. (414) 881-7401

Telehealth/Teletherapy, How Does It Work?

Due to Covid-19 or the Coronavirus has changed the way many have to conduct business. Besides grocery and hardware stores, sadly many businesses have closed, or many are working remotely. As a therapist, March 13th changed things for me too. Instead of my clients coming in to see me, we now do what they call telehealth or teletherapy. Here’s a good article that explains the ins and outs of it. Take a look: https://positivepsychology.com/teletherapy/ Need some assistance or know someone who does, have them give me a call (414) 881-7401 or visit me here, or www.alwaysabetteryou.com

Control What You Can Control.

Although most of us heard about the Coronavirus before it hit the United States and put a stop to what was our normal routine, none of us were prepared of how it would impact us.

So today’s question is: what are you doing everyday to keep yourself sane? I’m not talking about hard things, I’m talking about easy things. Here are some ideas on what you can do daily to keep yourself sane (and have a little fun while you’re at it!)
✔ Play with your kids or dog every day
✔ Make your bed every day
✔ Get outside for 15 minutes every day
✔ Drink water every day
✔ Dance every day

Let’s focus on what we can control. Struggling to make it through this? You are not alone. Feel free to share and to reach out (414) 881-7401.
