There are good days. And there are bad days.
It’s not easy to get enough sleep when you are tossing and turning each night.
Then it’s even worse trying to be kind to the people you love when the lack of sleep leaves you irritable.
The bad days start to pile up.
And the pile-up starts to feel hopeless.
Unwanted thoughts replay on a mental loop.
You excessively check the stove to make sure it’s off before you leave for work. Visions of the house burning down won’t stop
Surely after checking 10 times, you can convince yourself that the stove is actually off?
But you still don’t trust yourself. So, you check the 11th time.
There’s a party on Friday.
It might be fun to swing by, say hi to your colleagues, and maybe meet someone new.
But you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing or feeling endlessly awkward.
It’s easier to just stay home.
Sinking into the couch is all you can do.
With all of your energy drained, there’s zero motivation to do much else.
Taking that refreshing jog in the park after a long day at work used to be the highlight of your day, but you no longer look forward to it.
Eating your feelings leads to consuming the entire bag of cookies in one sitting. You only planned to have two or three at the most, but it sure felt comforting at the time.
You just want to feel happy again.
Everyone experiences anxiety. It’s part of life. But…
Anxiety becomes suffering when it negatively affects relationships or interferes with school or work.
Worrying daily about anything and everything – especially when that worry feels out of your control – is exhausting.
Your quality of life trickles away.
Achieve Optimal Wellness
Physical health is only one piece of the puzzle. Achieving optimal wellness is accomplished by treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
Often, mental health issues can negatively affect one’s physical health and vice versa.
Wholesome nutrition, quality sleep, routine exercise, and healthy relationships are important to completing the puzzle.
I’d like to help you put the entire puzzle together so that you can feel your very best.
