Time To Reflect, Live Your Best Life

Time to Reflect

December 31, 2018/0 Comments/in Mental Health/by Louisville Health and Healing

I hope 2018 was everything you thought it’d be. I will attempt to inspire and challenge you with this blog.

If I make it to midnight tonight, I will be one of the billions to survive in 2018. What a pleasure and privilege! However, millions have died this year and I’m sure most wish they’d have another shot at making this right. You (me included) may not make it to see 2019’s ending. “We are living on borrowed time”. We can still make things right for ourselves and the world. If I died today what legacy and carbon imprint would I leave on humanity?

I will ask you the following questions to stimulate the greatness that lives in all of us. If you feel compelled to take action with these questions, then you might find healing, clarity, and a higher purpose.

  1. What regrets do I have in 2018? (What can I do to make it right? What do I need to own? Who do I need to talk with to let go of grudges and resentment)
  2. What addiction (drugs, relationships, control, porn, money, etc.) hindered my maximum growth in 2018? Am I willing to let those go in 2019?
  3. What am I most proud of in 2018?
  4. Who had the greatest influence on my life in 2018?
  5. What excites me about 2019?
  6. What am I willing to change about myself to help achieve my goals in 2019?
  7. What is one positive word that describes what I’ll obtain this time next year? (For me it’s “love and divinity”)

Please take time to reflect on 2018 and get prepared for 2019. It’s a blank slate and it can be whatever you want it to be! Answer these questions and share them with people in your life.

Counseling During the Holidays

This Time of the Year Sucks…

December 9, 2018/0 Comments/in Mental Health, Relationship Advice/by Louisville Health and Healing

This time of the year can be very exciting for many people. There are a lot of holiday festivities happening that involve connection, creativity and a sense of belonging. Children make their Christmas lists and parents panic frantically trying to find the gifts that their children want. Sightseeing the Christmas displays in all towns and cities, breaking bread with family and friends, and shopping until you drop—-That’s the spirit…

Well…This time of the year sucks for a lot of people. The holidays are a reminder of separation, trauma, and unhappiness. If this time of the year is about the connection with loved ones, then what do you tell a mother who has lost their child to a heroin overdose? The person who misses their wife because she died doesn’t give a shit about holiday cheer. The homeless person would do anything to drink hot chocolate in front of the fireplace with their loved ones. The child that is in foster care that has one wish for Santa, probably wishes he could see his father.

We hurt. You hurt. I hurt. Compulsive shopping and obsessive planning can distract us from what we are really feeling this time of the year. For some, there is a great deal of anxiety “to get it right”… The right gift, the right packing, the right color…There is a lot of pressure the holidays can put on people. Or, people let the holidays add unneeded pressure—the need to please others.

This time of the year also brings about an increase in alcohol use, for many reasons. Social consumption of alcohol use is often overlooked and people overdo it.

Think about others—-the ones that hurt; the ones that grieve; the ones that are lost; the cold; the hungry; the ones that are imprisoned and locked away. Watch the pressure you put on yourself—that shit doesn’t matter. Nobody is going to remember you got them a yellow sweater and they requested a purple one. People will remember if you made time for them and how you made them feel. Invest in that shit.

This is the time to invest in your relationships and to be selfless to others. This is all we get. After all, what if this was your last holiday season with your family. How do you want to be remembered if your family spent the next year without you?
