Winter Newsletter
The Danish have a concept called hygge which is not easy to translate but means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. They have long cold dark winters also but they are some of the happiest people according to research. I have been practicing hygge this winter and it is helping! Some of the ways I have done this are by socializing more and planning social events (sometimes difficult for an introvert), keeping a fire going whether a candle or a real fire, warm blankets on the sofa, good movies and books. And I am working on NOT complaining about the weather, although I am not as successful with that as I would like. I bought snowshoes last year that I have not used yet, but I think this weekend is the perfect opportunity. One of our therapists, Julianne Morrison, does a lot of outdoor activities in winter (hiking, biking, snowshoeing) and I admire that about her.
We have openings for clients, and as always we do take state insurance. Stay warm and practice some hygge with the remaining winter. Best, Devona Marshall
Sometimes we get caught up in the daily motions of life and forget to live in the moment. We let our past navigate our day to day action even when it holds us back. I want to help you learn how to utilize mindfulness in your daily life and employ skills to reach your full potential in your relationships, career, and other goals.
