Connect
By Jennifer Eulberg, MA, LPC
With everything going on in our outside worlds, I thought this month’s focus could be on connecting with one’s self. When I find things are overwhelming for myself or a client; I enlist some “go-to” concepts such as the following to help reconnect to “the authentic self”:
- Slow Down: We can easily get lost in the whirling thoughts in our heads. Give yourself space to notice your feelings
- Name your feelings and listen to what they have to say
- Feelings often reveal our boundaries/limits; engage in self-care by listening to your wants and needs
- Gratitude doesn’t replace upsetting things, but it can bring balance and perspective
- Lean into what feels right for you
Creating a confident connection between who you are and what you do often leads each of us to the next best thing to do. I hope you find these tips helpful in your journey.
