Compassion involves responding to difficult though

Compassion involves responding to difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy, and understanding. Through today's #MindfulMonday practice, we are able to soothe and comfort ourselves and others when hurting. Benefits of #compassion include greatly enhanced emotional wellbeing, boosts of happiness, and reduced anxiety and depression. Exercising compassion allows for maintaining healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives.

Try finding your compassionate voice through letter writing. Draft a note to yourself whenever you are struggling or feeling.✏️ Try one of these mindful letter-writing practices:
1. Think of an imaginary friend who is unconditionally wise, loving, and compassionate, then write a letter to yourself from the perspective of your friend.
2. Write a letter as if you were talking to a dearly beloved friend who was struggling with the same concerns as you.
3. Write a letter from the compassionate part of yourself to the part of yourself that is struggling.
4. After writing the letter, you can put it down for a while and then read it later, letting the words soothe and comfort you when you need it most.

For additional guidance on managing anxious and overwhelming feelings of loneliness and uncertainty, our Girls Empowered Group invites teen girls ages 14-16 to explore strengthening interpersonal skills, increasing self-confidence, and building on empathy and the ability to connect with others. Sign up for NEW Tuesday sessions of Girls Empowered from 7:15-8:15pm --- Registration Link in Bio --- held in a safe space in our Warwick, NY office every (Monday/full and Tuesday/open). 👭🏿👭🏾👭🏽👭🏼👭🏻👭

Our brains will race for many reasons, especially

Our brains will race for many reasons, especially during stressful times when it can be difficult to focus. Today’s Mindful Monday Practice is meant to offer guidance on slowing down a racing mind when feeling overwhelmed by all that is happening around us.

Take a moment today, and daily as needed, to focus on taking one step at a time when feeling unsettled, restless, or confused to avoid or alleviate stress:
1) Stop and ask yourself: Do I need to be thinking about this right now? This simple question draws your full attention to observing what is going through your mind.
2) Pause just for a moment and see what your thoughts are and what is stressing you out.
3) Decide which thoughts are functional and which are not. Functional thoughts serve a purpose, like planning an agenda. Non-functional thoughts serve no purpose other than to create stress, like replaying a past conversation over and over again in your head.
4) Once you have taken a moment to acknowledge and categorize your thoughts, you can consciously choose what to do with them. If the thought has no value, choose to think about something else.

For additional guidance on managing anxious and overwhelming feelings of uncertainty, our family of clinicians at Nourish Your Mind offers a variety of therapeutic offerings.

Be kind to your mind.🤍

Join us in giving recognition to World Mental Health Day, today and always. It's important to talk about the need to take care of ourselves, raise awareness, and mobilize efforts to support mental health.

Mental health is difficult to define because it involves one's social, emotional, and psychological well-being. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all affected by our mental health. When we have positive mental health, we handle stress better, our productivity remains stable, and we realize our full potential. So please join us in breaking the stigma, raising awareness, and offering support to those we know who struggle with a mental health disorder.

We are here to support you in finding balance. Contact us through our website link in bio, via email at hello@nourishyourmind.com or by phone (845) 547-0479.
