You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring.
– Rabindranath Tagore
Do you feel like a rolling stone – a complete unknown?
Are you feeling overwhelmed, making you want to run away?
Sleep seems impossible because those thoughts never leave, waking you up and tossing and turning all night.
In the morning, you wonder what the EFF is today. Monday? OH NO! You’re wildly concerned about the things you didn’t finish the day before. That worry causes you to feel tightness in your gut, and you face seemingly insurmountable obstacles, such as work or school.
Working in the entertainment industry can be emotionally demanding, and you may sometimes feel defeated by rejection.
“How do I get out of this freaking funk?”
Everything seems to occur slowly, making your life move forward at a snail’s pace.
This overwhelming sadness makes you want to stay in bed rather than face another day of life on the outside.
You wonder, “What happened to all those activities that brought me pleasure?” At this point, you aren’t interested in friends and family, much less anything you used to do.
At this point, life hardly seems worth living.
Feeling anxious or depressed is common.
How often do you hear that inner critic spouting, “I’m not good enough, I haven’t accomplished enough, I’m not smart enough!”
How often do you think, “What’s the point – nothing will change?” You can’t snap out of something messing with your mind.
This inner critic, our “shadow side,” often stops us. We can work on turning this around to help you live your best life.
You’ll learn to embrace mindfulness, restoring your calm and confidence and helping you make healthier choices.
Feeling better is closer than you think.
The journey starts with facing your fears and feelings and accepting where you are now.
Through mindfulness, you can learn to be present in the moment without allowing negative thoughts to overwhelm your ability to focus on life around you. You can then change those negative thoughts into positive ones, become less emotional, and enjoy life.
As your therapist, I will teach you mindfulness techniques to help you overcome the negative thoughts produced by that inner voice. As we continue to work together, we’ll find humor in our work, and you’ll find yourself embracing the life you want.
Whether you are overwhelmed with worry or sadness or simply looking to improve your life, I’m here to help. We can walk this journey together. Call (323) 301-0083 for a free consultation.
