2 questions to ask yourself
|
Hi friend, If you're one of those people who feels like you always have to be doing something, we might have a problem. However, I don't want you to swing the complete opposite direction. Don't do nothing! Instead, give yourself a little bit more room before your automatic habit to be productive takes over.

Take a minute to think or journal through these questions. You can still make the plans. Or you might decide to stay home. You might do the chore. Or you might decide it can wait until tomorrow, or even next week. What matters is giving yourself enough space to actually decide. Taking that space will give you more range in how you respond to your life, and as you know, that's what we practice here! Thanks for reading. Coach Jose 💛

Hi friend, We all have areas of growth and shit to work on. It’s easy to see someone else’s shit and think, Damn, they really need to work on that. And maybe they do. But here’s the thing: it’s not just them. It’s not just you. It’s ALL of us. Every single person you know has something they’re working through. Some people are aware of it. Some people aren’t there yet. Some people are actively working on themselves, and some people are avoiding their shit like it’s their full-time job. 😂 But...
Hi friend, One of the biggest “traps” of being a therapist—and honestly, this is probably true of a lot of jobs—is giving so much of yourself at work that there’s not enough left of you when you get home. As therapists, we spend our days listening, holding space, caring, problem-solving, empathizing, and showing up for people who need us. That’s meaningful work! But it can also be exhausting work. And sometimes, without even realizing it, we can start giving away so much of our emotional and...
