What fills your cup? Comment below one you see here that you love to do!

Practicing Gratitude:

Practicing gratitude does more than just make you feel good—it has real, scientifically-backed benefits for your mental and physical health. Studies show that grateful people experience lower levels of stress and depression, have better sleep quality, and even enjoy stronger immune systems. It’s a simple practice with profound impacts on your overall well-being.

Keep a Gratitude Journal
One of the simplest ways to practice gratitude is to write it down. Every day, take a moment to jot down at least three things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be big—sometimes, the smallest moments bring the most joy. Over time, this practice trains your brain to notice the positives in life.

Express Gratitude to Others
Take the time to tell the people around you how much you appreciate them. Whether it’s a simple “thank you” or a heartfelt letter, expressing gratitude not only strengthens your relationships but also deepens your own sense of appreciation.

“A healthy mind is tuned toward the God of peace, experiencing joy in his presence, and eager to submit to the continued sanctification of our whole being through the gospel of Jesus Christ.” - Rebecca Maxwell.

When your mind is healthy, you’re better equipped to handle stress, make clear decisions, and maintain a positive outlook on life. Mental health influences every aspect of our daily lives—from our work to our relationships to our physical well-being. By taking small, intentional steps to nurture your mental health, you can improve your overall quality of life and build resilience for whatever challenges come your way.

Seek Professional Help When Needed
There’s no shame in seeking help when you’re struggling mentally. A therapist, counselor, or coach can provide valuable tools and support for managing emotions and navigating life’s challenges. Taking care of your mind is just as important as seeking help for a physical injury, and reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

March 2nd was Teen Mental Wellness Day! Here at Jacksonville Counseling Services we want to be a place that provides the support your teen needs.

It's crucial for both parents and peers to create supportive environments where teens feel safe expressing their feelings. Here are some ways we can make a difference:

Start the Conversation: Open communication is key. Check in with teens regularly, ask how they're doing, and let them know it's okay to talk about their struggles.

Provide Resources: Whether it's talking to a counselor, accessing online mental health tools, or seeking professional help, it's important to equip teens with the right resources to help them manage their mental health.

Encourage Healthy Habits: Exercise, proper sleep, and good nutrition all contribute to a healthier mind. Encouraging teens to take care of their bodies can also support their mental well-being.

Challenge Stigma: Mental health is just as important as physical health. By reducing stigma around mental health issues, we make it easier for teens to ask for help when they need it.

Support Systems: Fostering a sense of belonging is essential. Building a strong support network of family, friends, and trusted adults can make all the difference.

“When our world feels out of control, when we feel confused by life or which decision to make, we can be intentionally still with the knowledge of our ever-present warrior God, who is almighty, and powerful over all the heavens and the earth. The Lord of hosts fights for us from a place of victory.” -Rebecca Maxwell 👇

Therapy is a safe space to explore the underlying causes of decision-making anxiety, whether it’s rooted in past experiences, fear of failure, or perfectionism. A therapist can help you work through these feelings and develop healthier patterns of thinking when it comes to choices.

If decision anxiety is something you're struggling with, you're not alone. The path to feeling more confident in your decisions is a journey, but it’s one that is absolutely worth taking. 💙

Celebrating Random Act of Kindness Week: Small Acts, Big Impact

This week marks Random Acts of Kindness Week, a reminder that a small gesture can make a huge difference in someone's day—and in the world. Whether it’s paying for someone's coffee, offering a compliment, or simply lending a hand, these acts have a ripple effect that can inspire kindness far beyond what we see.

Kindness doesn’t require grand gestures or a lot of time. Sometimes, it’s the smallest, most unexpected acts that have the most significant impact. A kind word, a smile, or even a message of encouragement can brighten someone’s day. And in return, these small moments can foster a sense of connection, empathy, and positivity.

Here are some ways to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week:

Leave an anonymous note: A little positive message can make someone’s day.
Pay it forward: Buy a coffee, lunch, or even a small gift for a stranger.
Volunteer your time: Find a local cause that could use an extra set of hands.
Give a compliment: Sometimes, a genuine compliment is all someone needs to feel seen and appreciated.
Show gratitude: Express appreciation to those around you—family, friends, coworkers, even strangers.
As we celebrate this week, remember that kindness has no expiration date. It’s something we can spread every day, in countless ways, no matter how big or small. So, let’s challenge ourselves to make kindness the norm, not the exception. How will you make the world a little kinder this week? 💖

"Happy Birthday to the person who makes such a positive difference in the lives of so many. 🎉 Your wisdom, compassion, and support help us grow and heal every day. Wishing you a year filled with peace, joy, and all the love you give back to others. 🎂🌟 MAY THIS YEAR BE THE BEST ONE YET.

Healing comes in many ways. So let's talk EMDR and its benefits. Below are just a few ways it can help👇

EMDR encourages you to leave the past in the past.
It helps reshape past events
Instead of allowing anxiety and survival instincts to drive your thought process, it can help desensitize to provide the ability to be more present and engaged in everyday challenges.

Season 1 Episode 16 just dropped!
As we enter a new year, a time when self-improvement is on everyone's mind, it's crucial to address how trauma can affect our efforts toward personal growth. We'll define the overused term "trauma," distinguish between 'big T' and 'little T' traumas and explore their impacts on mental health.

Learning to be still can feel overwhelming but when we rightly acknowledge Who JESUS is and what he still does for us, we can rest knowing His scripture is true and good.

"Jesus & Your Mental Health" by Rebecca Maxwell will be one to add to your reading list once it is out. I love getting a glimpse into her mind and cannot wait to have this book in my hands and root the words deep in my heart ❤️

Read Psalm 62:5 "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him."

Here is a quote from Rebecca and a weekly verse you can take with you as you continue to seek God's word over your life and circumstances.

“We can grow into maturity and direct our minds toward Christ by seeking wisdom in his Word.”
✨Rebecca Maxwell

Proverbs is a great way to seek God's wisdom for you in your walk with Jesus, it does not matter if you're new to your faith or have followed Jesus for a long time.

Fear in this aspect means REVERENCE for Christ, knowing who he is what it is HE did for you on the cross ✝️
