You can be the strong one and still need support. A lot of people who are used to taking care of everyone else don’t allow space to receive support from others. Maybe they convince themselves it’s “not that bad,” it may feel like a burden to others, or that they can’t trust others to show up for them. This is the truth: You don’t have to hit rock bottom to need and deserve support or rest. You can’t be there for everyone all the time. It’s okay to ask for help.

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? . . . #embodiedwellnesscenter #chicagotherapist #chicago #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #chicagogram #therapist #anxiety #therapistsofinstagram #chicagowellness #holistictherapist #mentalhealththerapist #therapistsofig #perfectionism #burnoutrecovery #worklifebalance #mentalhealthmatters #selfcompassion #highachievers #anxietyhelp #stressmanagement #mindbodyconnection #somatichealing #therapytools #healingjourney #mindfulnesspractice

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. . . . #adhdawareness #adhdbrain #dopamine #mentalhealthmatters #neurodivergent #focusproblems #executivefunction #brainbased #selfcompassion #therapyhelps #somatictherapy #mindbodyconnection #mentalhealthsupport #adultadhd #chicagotherapy #embodiedwellnesscenter #chicagotherapist #chicago #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #chicagogram #therapist #anxiety #therapistsofinstagram #chicagowellness #holistictherapist #mentalhealththerapist #therapistsofig
