69% of relationship problems can’t be solved. Instead, they must be managed. The question isn’t “can we fix this?” But rather “can I live with this?”

You were never meant to operate at full capacity 24/7. Perfectionism convinces you that anything less than 100% is failure… but most of the time, it’s actually balance. Also, we hold ourselves to an unreasonably high standard, so giving 80% instead of 100% probably won't even be noticeable to others. How can you scale back from 100% effort to 80% effort?

This Mental Health Month, we're here to remind you that you don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. A lot of people wait until things feel unbearable before they reach out. But therapy isn’t just for when everything falls apart. You can, and probably should, start at any time. Click the link in bio to get started.

When dopamine levels are lower, your brain naturally looks for ways to feel more engaged, more stimulated, more awake. That can show up as restlessness, procrastination, jumping between tasks, or feeling bored even when you want to focus.
