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

Changing with the seasons.

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.

Checking in

While staying in contact with friends and loved ones is important, asking “how are you?” can seem habitual. It’s is a perfectly normal way to begin a conversation or meeting and understood as a polite way to express concern, to which “I’m fine” or “Good” are socially acceptable responses. But is “how are you?” really an honest question that solicits an honest response (especially during a pandemic)?

Next time you’re checking in, try using one of these questions instead.

🔉 Have you been sleeping ok?
🔉 How are you taking care of yourself today?
🔉 Checking in on you! I’m here if you need me.
🔉 What habit have you started or stopped recently?
🔉 How have you managed stress?
🔉 How can I support you today?
🔉 Is there anything you need to want to talk about?

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.

When you feel like you’re down for the count, like the dream is too far out of reach remember ‘You Got This!’ Get back on your feet and keep going.

You can use this ‘challenge’ to keep moving forward even when things are difficult. Dodge excuses that keep you stuck in place. Embrace the inner strength and confidence, and put in the hard work to accomplish your goals. The choice is yours, you can either stay down for the count, or you can stand up to whatever you’re facing right now.

If you need someone else in your corner to help you face these challenges, give me a call. I’m ready to help. Reach out at (414) 881-7401, or visit www.alwaysabetteryou.com

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

What The New Normal May Mean To You?

We are about a month in to the Covid-19 Stay at Home Order here in Wisconsin and pretty much through out the country. They say that being aware and careful about this virus until there is some type of treatment, some aspect of what we are going through, may be our “new normal.” Here’s a good article that discusses how this may effect us emotionally. Not saying it will but if you or someone you know is struggling now or struggle with the fall-out of this later, please feel free to contact me, or pass my number along. (414) 881-7401. Thank you!!

Feeling your feelings.

Being in a time of the unknown, how are you feeling right now? Deeper yet, why do you feel that way? To be able to label and understand one’s emotions is crucial in moving past them.  The book Permission To Feel by Marc Brackett, Ph.D. is an excellent resource.

Being Grateful

No matter what life throws at you, you can always find something to be thankful for.
I am thankful for the privilege of meeting clients where they are, helping them heal, and walking alongside them as they continue on their journey to a more fulfilling life.
