Thrive Counseling

One of the strategies we incorporate for some clients is writing down or saying one things they are grateful for in the day. As I was in Hot Springs, AR I saw this bracelet and had the most amazing story to go with it. Depression can touch many and it can feel lonely.

Constantemente estamos emitiendo juicios acerca de todo pero sobretodo acerca de nosotros mismos. Tanto, que la autocritica se vuelve nuestro lenguaje automatico con nosotros mismos. Creemos que si nos damos duro seremos mejores personas, tendremos motivación para cambiar o para esforzarnos. Pensamos que la autocritica es el motor que nos impulsa a seguir. Pero la verdad es que no. Si te pones a pensar la autocritica lo único que hace es hacerte sentir peor. No te motiva, te debilita. No te impulsa al cambio, te baja el autoestima. Para ser mejor solo basta con reconocer los errores y tomar acción para mejorar, no hace falta tratarse mal.

No one is responsible for your happiness, only you. No one has the power to make you happy or unhappy, only you. If you don't take care of making yourself happy, nobody will. It is your responsibility to take control of your happiness, it is your responsibility to know what things make you happy and carry them out.

Although negative emotions and emotional discomfort sometimes seem eternal, the reality is that they always pass. Emotions only last minutes or seconds, never hours, or days, or weeks. The discomfort will pass faster than you think. You can be in pain but it does not mean you have to suffer for a long period of time. As we process our emotions we are able to surpass the suffering.
