Inauguration days and political events can stir up big emotions, leaving many of us feeling anxious or overwhelmed. If you’re navigating political anxiety, it’s important to prioritize your mental health and stay grounded.
Here are some ways to protect your peace:
▪️ Take a brisk 10-minute walk outside or sit by a sunny window to boost your mood.
▪️ Try a 5-minute brain dump journaling session to release anxious thoughts, and end with a calming affirmation like, “I choose to protect my peace.”
▪️ Create a feel-good playlist or cue up uplifting songs. Taylor Swift`s “Shake It Off” or Pharrell`s “Happy" are two of our favorites.
▪️ Set intentional news boundaries, replacing doom-scrolling with joy breaks, like texting a friend or watching a funny video.
Slide for additional tips (don`t miss the last one...it`s one of our favorite suggestions). And remember, it’s okay to step back, take a breath, and focus on what you can control.
Your peace is worth it.

Introducing Sam Curry, MA, LPC!
Sam recently joined our clinical team, and we are thrilled for you to meet him!
(Make sure you read to the end because you aren`t going to want to miss a fun fact about him 😉)
Sam works with individuals experiencing depression, trauma, and major life transitions. He specializes in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, substance use, chronic health issues, relationship difficulties, and career discernment.
When asked why he became a therapist, Sam said, ""I have always been fascinated by the mind, brain, mental health, and human development. It is deeply rewarding to build meaningful, trusting relationships with my clients and to support them on their unique life journeys. I became a therapist to alleviate suffering and to help promote greater resiliency, self-knowledge, and wellness.""
When he isn`t helping clients, you can usually find him practicing meditation, staying active with tennis, golfing, and spending time at the gym.
And, the fun fact about Sam you have been waiting for??
He is a professional opera singer! 🎶 Cool, right?
Please help us welcome Sam to the team, and head to the link in our bio to schedule an appointment with him.
