Heartfelt Counseling

Sometimes a grudge gets held too long or we allow the little things that irritate us in a relationship to become bigger than they really are; National Kiss And Make Up Day works to end those frosty silences, mood swings and critical comments. Instead, buy the person you love flowers, say sorry and tell them how much they mean to you, or if all else fails chocolate is usually a swift way to a person’s heart.

Today celebrates the fact that kissing and making up is the best part of an argument (especially where lovers are concerned), and sometimes even makes the fight worthwhile. Annoying habits and irritability aside, it’s good to have the people you love around you. So remember not to take loved ones for granted and appreciate the good stuff in your relationship. Top it all off with a big smooch and you’ve fully embraced the spirit of the day.

The term “rainbow baby” may not be familiar to everyone, but for those who have experienced a miscarriage or infant loss, it has a profound significance. So, what is a rainbow baby? This important term is the name coined for a baby born after experiencing a loss due to miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or infant loss. The name comes from the symbolization of rainbows, because like a rainbow after a storm, this baby symbolizes something beautiful after dark times.

Today is National Internet Self Care Day!
A day to reflect on our internet habits and take steps to create healthier habits.

🌸Unfollow any accounts that evoke negative feelings in you.
🌸Identify how you are using your time on the internet, how much time and attention you spend on each platform you visit. Decide if that’s appropriate and create limits for yourself.
🌸Plan for a digital detox, in the near future, or at regular times each week.
🌸Take stock of your total mental health and check out resources like the National 🌸Institute of Mental Health page about self-care.
🌸Seek out online spaces that support your goals and values, and where you feel you can participate.
🌸Take note of your favorite self-care and wellness resources and online activities that make you feel motivated and well, rather than depleted.
🌸Support others by sharing positivity online and in person.
🌸Choose an offline activity — maybe something outdoors — to engage in when you feel like you’ve had too much screen time or the wrong type. If you enjoy it, make it a priority each week.
