Happiness is an Inside Job

Karlee Davis, MS, LPC

Your ????︎????????︎???????? starts with ????????︎????.

So often, we partner up with people to fill in the gaps of where we feel depleted. We expect them to make us feel more whole. We expect them to love us when we can’t love ourselves. We expect them to build us up when we feel shitty about ourselves. Truth bomb: that’s an illusion!

First of all, that’s a lot of pressure to put on another person. Second of all, relationships with this dynamic aren’t usually sustainable because they’re not based in truth.

Our happiness and fulfillment is not someone else’s responsibility. We must take responsibility for our own mental, physical & spiritual fitness.

In what ways do you look to others in order to feel more complete? What is it that you really need that you seek from someone else? How can you start giving that to yourself?

The Holidays, why do they hurt? And what can we do about it?

Maybe you are overwhelmed with a shit ton of stress and anxiety. And of course you are! Not only do you fear your in-laws’ opinions of you this year (or godforbid your own family’s opinion), you’re just trying to be grateful that you didn’t have an underlying health concern that would have made surviving COVID less likely. You’re not sure you have hope in the future of the world anymore. You’re not sure what to believe from news sources anymore. You’re trying to not believe the filters and fake faces you see on Instagram but can’t help but feel inherently flawed.

How to Cope with the Winter Blues

The holidays are often a source of sadness for those who do not have family or friends to share their time with, for those who are grieving the loss of their loved one/s, for those who are without a home or food to eat, and for those who have difficult memories of previous holidays.

Let Nature Nurture You

Most medical and mental health professionals are on the same page these days when it comes to recognizing the therapeutic benefits of spending time in nature. Have you ever spent time outdoors and noticed a peaceful feeling or a sense of mental clarity? For me personally, time in nature is a major part of my lifestyle and wellbeing.
