Small changes can lead to big results!

• Coming to therapy is a big decision. Individuals come to therapy for personal, marriage, and family issues.
• Therapy works because of the relationship between you and your counselor. He or she will help you achieve insight by showing you roadblocks holding you back, and thinking errors keeping you stuck.
• Whether you are coming to therapy for yourself, your marriage, or a family member, you will get the most out of your time and money if you commit to work both during your sessions and on your own. Take time to make small changes and talk to your therapist if you are not getting the results you want. While there are no guarantees, therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress.

Week 1:  Start cutting back on caffeine and get a journal. Cut simple sugars from your diet. Take a walk outdoors. Make an appointment for a physical.

Week 2:  Take daily supplements that include Omega 3 and add something healthy to your diet. Walk outdoors. Write something in your journal you are thankful for.
