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

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.

Being Grateful

In difficult times, we can easily get overwhelmed by what’s going wrong, or everything that is missing in our lives. We can lose sight of all of the good that surrounds us. But that doesn’t mean the good isn’t there. The good is always there, we just need to start to see it again. The way we do that is through gratitude.
 
What (3) things are you grateful for right in this moment?
 
This post was inspired by my friend Kimberly Geschke who mentioned she started reading “The Magic,” by Rhonda Byrne, becoming more grateful and very good things started happening for her.

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.

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
