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?

Controlling Your Anxiety

Between Covid 19, nationwide protests, and the new election cycle upon us, Stress and anxiety are on the rise…Not sure what to do? Try these tips to help you cope with it.

– Focus on things you can control (ie. get a good night’s sleep)
– Stay ‘virtually’ connected
– Be kind to yourself (ie. self care, exercise)
– Decrease screen time
– Help others (this will help you too)
– Get some fresh air, take a walk around your neighborhood
– Remind yourself to stay present (instead of a ‘what ifs’ takeover)
– Reach out for support from friends or a therapist when you need it.

As always, I am here if you or someone you love needs some assistance making it through these difficult times. You can reach me here, at (414) 881-7401, scott@alwaysabetteryou.com

Please check out my video, whereas I talk about the 3 reasons why people often don’t get the assistance they may need.  Feedback is always appreciated.

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 Not Alone!!

You are not alone. I repeat, you are not alone.
At times it may feel like you’re the only one struggling. Like you’re the only one that knows what you’re going through.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness. That means whatever you’re struggling with, chances are you are not the only one struggling.

Maybe your relationship is struggling since being quarantined. Or your kids are not on a schedule. Or it feels like life is just passing you by. Even though at times it may feel like we are the only one struggling in this way, we have to remind ourselves that we are not alone.

If you need someone to talk to, who understands what you’re going through, give me a call or text me at (414) 881-7401.

Please Reach Out!!

It was only a matter of time before more people would be struggling. 211 is a good place to start, but if you are having anxiety or depressive symptoms regarding all that is going on in your life in relationship with Covid-19 or anything else, don’t be afraid to reach out @414-881-7401

Anxiety During Covid-19

Stay at Home, don’t stay at home. Wear a mask, masks don’t help much. We will have a vaccine soon, it may take awhile to get a vaccine. One thing is for sure right now, there is a whole bunch of mixed signals. For many, we can just go about our business but for someone who has anxiety all of these mix messages may be creating an even higher level of anxiety. If you know someone who has anxiety, please check on them. If anyone needs more in-depth help, let me know. I can be reached at (414) 881-7401 or visit me at www.alwaysabetteryou.com

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)?
