Don’t let rumination become a missed opportunity for a better day. Put it down.

|| Get out of your head || • Call a friend • Take a shower • Walk outside • Drink something really warm or really cold • Count — anything! Trees, ceiling tiles, red things in the room, focus on the number • Meditate • Watch Beychella on Netflix 💃🏾 • Read a paragraph of a book out loud. . . . . Sometimes being in your head isn’t a great place to be. Get out of there if you need to! Take a break and clear your mind, you don’t have to stay there.

| | Sometimes indecision is a decision | | . . . S O M E T I M E S indecision is just avoidance 🤯. Avoidance of the decision you’ve already made, but just kind find the words yet, or avoidance of the changes that will happen as a result of the decision. . . How does therapy help? A therapist won’t (and shouldn’t!) make any decision for you. Therapy is a SAFE and NONJUDGEMENTAL space for you to really talk through how a decision will potentially impact you, and those around you. A space to learn problem solving strategies, identify patterns in avoidance, and challenge some of the fears that may be holding you back. A space to say, out loud, the things you may not have allowed yourself more than a few seconds to consider before you flood your mind with reasons you can’t (or won’t) make that decision just yet. A space for you to make a plan A, a plan B, maybe even a plan C, and identify how to use (or create) a support system through it all. What’s incredible is that every once in a while, when you really talk it all out, those decisions may seem a little less scary.
