Procrastination just loves to creep in when we’r

Procrastination just loves to creep in when we’re on the verge of starting something important!

That’s where the 5-Second Rule can save the day. It’s sooo simple but powerful! A good way to stop overthinking and take action before procrastination gets in the way.

Here’s how it works: when you feel the urge to delay or avoid a task, count down from 5 (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) and MOVE as soon as you HIT 1. This prevents your brain from making excuses and gives you no time to second-guess yourself.

It’s a QUICK, EASY way to beat procrastination and build better habits. Whether it’s getting up early or starting your workout, THIS RULE PUTS YOU IN CONTROL.

Try it! If it works for you, go back to thi video and hit follow! 🫶

These 3 simple habits can make a BIG difference! ⬇️

1. Hydrate First Thing in the Morning
Drinking water in the morning rehydrates your body after a night’s sleep, boosts energy, and jumpstarts your metabolism.

How? Keep a glass of water by your bedside and drink it before anything else.

2. Take 5 Minutes to Plan Your Day
Having a plan reduces stress, keeps you focused, and makes it easier to manage your tasks.

How? Write down 3 top priorities for the day, either in a journal or using an app.

3. Stretch or Move for 10 Minutes
Movement in the morning increases blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and boosts your mood.

How? Whether it’s yoga, stretching, or a quick walk, give your body some gentle movement.

Try these habits and notice how much better you feel! Let me know if they work for you, let’s have a conversation!

🤨⁉️Who Cares for the Caregivers?⬇️

October 10 is officially World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme is “It Is Time To Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace.” But what about the mental health of the professionals who care for everyone else?

We mental health professionals—psychiatrists, counselors, and therapists—face emotional challenges daily, often balancing our patients’ needs with our own. While we work tirelessly to support others, it’s important to remember: you can’t pour from an empty cup.

For me, it’s traveling and just being around others. Getting away helps me reset and recharge. It’s energizing to just be around people when I’m not working or teaching YouHabits or seeing patients. These things help me prioritize my own mental health.

But I also realize that self-care isn’t just about what we do outside of work. It’s about finding ways to lighten the load at work too. That’s why I’ve been exploring tools that help reduce documentation time, like using AI to manage note-taking. Having these tools gives me more time to focus on myself and my patients.

To all the professionals in the mental health space—your well-being matters too. What are your go-to ways to decompress after a challenging day?

I’d love to hear how you prioritize your mental health 💬

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, overlooking the simple habits that could make our days less stressful. But the truth is, small changes can have a big impact if we just take a moment to try them.

The LAST habit on this list is my favorite but all of them can instantly help you feel calmer and more grounded throughout your day. Here’s 2 more to complete the list:

4. Journaling - just writing things down is enough to clear your head and relieve stress ✍️

5. Setting Boundaries - we often say “yes” when we really need to say “no.” Protect your peace by drawing the line when necessary.

If we give ourselves the chance to practice these, we can reduce stress and feel more in control. Which of these 5 habits to reduce stress do you think you can start this week?

Calling all therapists, let’s be real—what takes more time: helping your patients or writing about it afterward? 🤔 If you’re spending more time on paperwork than patient care, I think it’s time to rethink how we work before we need therapy.
.
I’ve been testing a few AI tools lately, and while they’ve all been good, I’m curious… Have any of you tried using AI for note-taking or documentation? What’s your experience been like? Do you think it’s time we embrace these tools to make our jobs easier, or are we still on the fence? Let me know your thoughts! 💬👇
