  • Winter solstice: the longest day of darkness, the shortest day of light, and the coldest time of the year in the northern hemisphere. What we do with the dark times in our lives largely shapes our character. May we find ourselves celebrating the “silver linings” these periods have to offer, while cultivating appreciation for brighter times ahead. Photo by Fabrice Villard on Unsplash

  • Unhelpful behaviours are those which interfere with our ability to function well in day-to-day life in the long-term, while seeming to provide us with some sort of benefit in the short-term. So, you might ask yourself, “Am I doing what I’m doing for the sake of short- or long-term reward?”
  • The former stems from too much thought, which is often polluted by “shoulds” and “ought to’s,” whereas the latter is rooted in honouring my feelings, my individuality, and what truly makes me shine.
  • I often work with schema therapy in sessions with my clients. Schemas are deeply rooted systems of belief that condition our sense of self and shape our personality. They stem from our early life experiences and reverberate in adulthood. Often outside of our awareness, they lead us to recreate situations that can cause us sadness, anxiety, and frustration within ourselves and in our relationships. Knowing what our schemas are is the first step to liberation from them. Continually confronting them, and intentionally countering them, however, is all the more important for loosening their grip on us. When their hold begins to loosen, we can start telling a new story in our lives, one that is adaptive and comes with a side effect of liberation, clarity, and contentment within ourselves and in relation to others.

  • Allow yourself to dive deep into your experiences – into your work, a hobby, a course, a book, a conversation, an idea… Saturate yourself in its depth, in detail, in nuance, in the richness of being fully absorbed and present. This is to be fully alive. Do one thing at a time, focus on quality over quantity. Learn to tune out distracting noise, the frequencies that are not you. Dwell in what IS you, and make a point of staying as long as you can. This is an antidote to a wild, distracted mind.
  • How do I know I’m living from the inside out, rather than from the outside in? • Time slows down • I get lost in what I’m doing • My muscles soften and my breathing deepens • I lose a sense of self-consciousness • I feel “at home” • I feel nourished and taken care of by my actions • The actions or judgements of others aren’t of importance to me
  • 10 minutes is all it takes to set ourselves up for a mentally healthy day. This routine is something that I practice most mornings and it has enormous impact on how well I’m able to respond to the demands of everyday life, and it’s one that I teach many of my clients as well.
