Control alert! 🚨

Feeling stuck? Frustrated that things aren't going your way? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, we all have... until we realize we were trying to control the uncontrollable (hello, weather forecast failures 🌪️).

Honestly: it's exhausting! 😴

Instead, let's focus on the things we can control (hello, Netflix binge-watching 📺).

It's time to shift gears and see how much we can actually change!

Want to explore more about control? Connect with our therapist at www.balancedlifegr.com 👉

🥔🍅 OUR COMMUNITY DOES IT AGAIN! 🍅🥔

We had a very nice gentleman stop in today with potatoes and tomatoes straight from his garden to share with our community. ❤️

They are on the Community Pantry shelf NOW and available to anyone who can use them!

We absolutely LOVE when neighbors share what they have with neighbors who need it. This is exactly what community is supposed to look like. 🥰

Take what you need, leave some for the next family, and remember…

IF ONE EATS, WE ALL EAT. ❤️

Mindfulness on a time crunch? ⏰⏰ Yeah, we feel you! 🤯

It may not feel realistic to spend an hour to be mindful like we see on socials often. Let's find what is realistic and helpful for you.

☀Start with being more present during the day! ☀

Start small, pick one daily task, and just focus.....like really focus. 👀 Tune in to your senses and try not to zone out (we know, it can be hard🤣)

Make mindfulness realistic without having to give up any of your time, like those treasured coffee breaks ☕

Find yourself struggling with being present?
Feeling stuck in the past or the future?
Give us a call! We can get sessions started with one of our therapist

TW: Harmful language

Earlier this week we received a newsletter from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services informing the community about the upcoming changes in coverage for those of us seeking ✨Gender-Affirming care✨. In this letter there was a term being utilized that we are 🚫 rejecting. 🚫

Words are very powerful, especially when these words are being utilized in the process of limiting health care. The term "sex-rejecting procedures" is referring to limiting ✨Gender-Affirming medical care✨ covered by Medicaid/Medicare.

The phrase "sex-rejecting procedures" is harmful to those of us seeking and receiving ✨Gender-Affirming✨ care by adding stigma, shame, and hurt to these services. Words are powerful and we will not be referring to ✨Gender-Affirming✨ care with this phrase.

Resources are below for those of us in the community that may need support at this time.

The LGBT National Hotline: (888) 843-4564
The LGBT National Youth Talkline (youth serving youth through age 25): (800) 246-7743
National Su***de Prevention Lifeline: (800) 273-8255 (online chat available)
The Trevor Project: (866) 488-7386
