#TherapyThursday

My oldest daughter said to me once, "Mom, you think everyone needs therapy (counseling)?!" And my answer was, "Yes, of course!" And I stand by that. The reason I do is because we all have *stuff* that we should look at closely and decide what to do with it. And a lot of times that *stuff* needs the eye of someone not attached to us or it. That someone will have a clarity we probably won't, they will be able to offer insights we can't see on our own, they will have a purer response because they will lack the emotional ties to the *stuff*. So yes, I believe all people can benefit from therapy and should do it at least once in their lives.

Albert points out a really important reason, in my opinion, for therapy. Someone not so attached to our lives can help us figure out new ways of thinking. We all need that.

If you haven't been to therapy before, or if you have, here's a head's up I thought was really good to have.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
