"A calm awareness will help you make sure that you are stating your point without letting your ego make things worse... Your peace has the power to stop a disagreement from escalating into an argument. " - Yung Pueblo

🕶 An interesting quick read by Pueblo: https://lnkd.in/gteZiWaf

🔥 We tend to feel justified, and even vindicated, when we lash out and respond with the same chaos as 'the other'. Lashing out can provide immediate emotional relief, but it often has long-term negative consequences for several reasons. The toll on wellbeing might not be immediate but can build up over time. The emotional and physical strain of living in a state of constant stress and conflict can accumulate, leading to burnout or more serious health problems.

🌊 Responding calmly is not the same as being a doormat or a people-pleaser. It's about communicating your needs and boundaries in a manner that's aligned with your values and well-being.

🌿 Reflecting on past experiences, you might notice patterns where responding with anger didn’t resolve the issue and instead created more problems. Developing strategies for managing reactions, such as mindfulness, deep breathing, or taking a moment to pause before responding, can help mitigate these negative effects and promote long-term wellbeing.

Hi there! Update from my Counselling practice :)

I'll be offering a 57% (R300) Student discount for and students for mental health online counselling.

Being in comes with it's own stressors and unique demands on top of everything else that you might have to manage. I would know.

Sometimes you're great at the studying part but feel overwhelmed and lost in other areas of your life, and vice versa. Other times, you might be struggling with both academics and personal matters, and you aren't sure how to move forward with either. We sometimes have the 'tools' to deal with stressors and are aware of how to handle them, but we get tired - to say the least- of dealing with them on our own.

If you're an under- or postgrad student and you'd like to try , please feel free to contact me or another counsellor/psychologist that you are comfortable with!

Visit my website to see the requirements for a student discount 😊:

Apart from counselling services, Nayana S. George (Registered Counsellor) also offers non-counselling services like workshops and needs assessments. Visit her website or contact her today to know more!
