Guilt and Shame. This to their own mom?

Hi It is important to remember that your mother getting covid is not in your control. You don’t have to feel guilty. It is important to remember that you are a responsible person and you are taking care of your mom. To feel better you can consult a psychologist and take up counseling sessions.

You can book an appointment with me for counseling session.

Consult a psychologist.

Here are 5 ways to handle stress that put you in a good position - you can start today and make these changes to feel better: Guard Your Attention. The things you pay attention to, will guide what you feel. If you don’t guard your attention, negativity is happy to take it! So, for example, if you are paying attention to the panicking news reports 24/7, attacking political rhetoric, social media comparisons, or toxic people in your life….expect feelings of panic, negativity and self-doubt to dominate your life. Pay attention to your family, your work, your pets, etc..and don’t allow negative things to dominate what you pay attention to. Empty Your Cup. Think of your mind as a cup that, over time, starts to fill with stressors. You dump a little in here (a negative remark), and a little in there (social media stressors), and before you know it…you are at your tipping point and can’t handle *one more thing!* Stressors stack up, and they layer on each other. When you keep your cup more empty, there is more room for you to handle the next thing that comes, so limit the things that fill that cup with stress. If you notice that certain things stress you out - the news, that social media app on your phone (not Quora of course), then maybe it’s time to cut them out for a while… Focus On The Things You Can Control. You can’t control the outcome of an election, you can’t control what others think, and you can’t control what others do or say….but you *can* control yourself. Focusing on the things you *can’t* control is like banging your head against the wall. Use your focus to set you up for better things, and not just get “dragged into” negativity. Choose not to engage there! Choose to walk away from negativity or things that stress you out! Ask yourself when stressed, “Okay, what can you control here?” You can control if you vote (so do that!), you can control how you spend your time, and who you spend your time with or what you focus on. Make it the good stuff. Increase the Good Stuff. When life gets stressful, it’s important to increase the things that bring you happiness, relief, and joy. Spend extra time with your pet, give a loved one a call, or take a nice relaxing bath…it’s not *selfish* to take some time and take care of yourself. If you don’t, you can’t be at your best for anyone or anything else. Get Help. Sometimes the stress if overwhelming, and you realize you need more. While some people hire me to deal with stressors around work or professional goals, you might need more help than that…maybe you need a therapist or psychiatrist because you know that you are struggling just to function, or feel impaired in your day-to-day life. There is no shame asking for help to deal with stress if you need it…you can save months if not *years* of struggle, and do something that gets you back on your game. The world is more stressful than ever…and a lot of the things that people have used to cope in the past, just aren’t available right now due to the pandemic. Things like going out with friends, visiting family, going on vacation, hitting the gym, and maybe even just getting out of the house is something so many people just can’t do… So if you notice that you’re stressed, and it’s impacting your life - here are a few quick things anyone can do. Try a few of these, and I’d love to know how they go!

Hi.

person centered therapy

Promise Yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. Christian D. Larson, Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. Victor Hugo
