- love them or hate them, they are necessary! Are you avoiding setting boundaries in hopes the issue will go away? You will find pretty quickly that by not setting boundaries, you’re going to have more stress and work overall.

Seek out a reputable therapist to help you learn what boundaries to set, when to set them, practice them, and learn how to maintain them with boundary violators.

🧠 😶‍🌫️ Brain Fog? Sluggish Thoughts?

👉🏻 Are you trying to figure out why your mind is moving slowly?

👉🏻 It’s possible you are dealing with the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

When people are stressed or anxious, stress hormones are released. These hormones are designed for the body to react quickly to life threatening situations.

If you are living with a constant state of stress, these hormones will be released regularly. The result is the brain remains in a state of survival mode, leaving you in a state of lower cognitive function and fatigue.

What you can do:
✏️ Talk with a counselor to identify what is contributing to your anxiety and stress and learn productive ways to respond.
✏️ Do an anxiety assessment.
✏️ Learn strategies of how to respond differently to anxiety provoking situations.
✏️ Practice mindfulness.

You might not be able to change your external situations, but you can learn how to react and respond in a more productive way - your internal response.

☹️ Are you being blamed when the other person is supposed to be apologizing?

😟 Do you end up feeling shame when you were the one who was wronged?

👉🏻 “I’m sorry you feel that way,” isn’t an apology.
👉🏻 “Well, if you didn’t do X, I wouldn’t have done Y,” is also NOT an apology.

So, then what is an apology?

An apology includes three main things:
✏️ the words I am sorry,
✏️ a complete ownership of all the actions someone has done, and
✏️ an understanding of how those actions have harmed you and impacted you.

Practice mindfulness in the everyday moments like brushing teeth, showering, or walking. This trains your brain to focus on what you tell it to focus on. These brief moments are like training for the marathon of when your thoughts start to race or spiral. By practicing mindfulness in the everyday moments, you’ll be able to use this skill during those stressful times.

Suppression of anxiety symptoms is not the goal of counseling. For lasting impact, you want to address the underlying issues. Otherwise, you’ll be playing whack-a-mole as new areas of anxiety show up. You'll learn coping strategies, BUT, you’ll also address what’s causing the anxiety to begin with.
