Connect
By Jennifer Eulberg, MA, LPC 
​With everything going on in our outside worlds, I thought this month’s focus could be on connecting with one’s self. When I find things are overwhelming for myself or a client; I enlist some “go-to” concepts such as the following to help reconnect to “the authentic self”:

1. Slow Down: We can easily get lost in the whirling thoughts in our heads. Give yourself space to notice your feelings
2. Name your feelings and listen to what they have to say
3. Feelings often reveal our boundaries/limits; engage in self-care by listening to your wants and needs
4. Gratitude doesn’t replace upsetting things, but it can bring balance and perspective
5. Lean into what feels right for you

Creating a confident connection between who you are and what you do often leads each of us to the next best thing to do.  I hope you find these tips helpful in your journey.
