"Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” Stephen Hawking #postivequotes #postitivethinking #mentalhealthblog #mentalwellness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthcounseling #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthprofessionals #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthmonday #mentalhealthsupport (at Affinity Counseling Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WIPqghzkR/?igshid=htz8fxjwgdoj

I found myself spending the day at the lake on Sunday. In my tiny kayak in the water, there was safety. With the multiple tragedies of the weekend, one hitting so close to home, my heart was heavy. I didn't realize today as I focused my energy on my clients how impactful the stress had been on my body. We find ourselves after such events attempting to escape or negate the feelings we have. But what we do not address always takes a toll. Take time today to do an inventory of your stress and need for self-care. If nothing else is evident given the events of the weekend, we need more love in this world. Let that love begin with you and I giving ourselves good care and sharing one act of kindness with someone else on this blue planet. #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #counselor #counseling #lpc #licensedprofessionalcounselor #endthestigma #traumacounselor #trauma #nature #selfcompassion #selfcare #meditation (at Lake Colorado City State Park - Texas Parks & Wildlife) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zXKs8geva/?igshid=khcq0yzry0r9
