Journey Towards Hope Counseling

🍋Remember This:
You Are Valuable—No Matter What.🍋

Trauma can make us believe that our worth is tied to our productivity, that we must always be doing, achieving, and checking things off our list to be valuable. But that’s not the truth.

Healing teaches us that you don’t have to be productive to be valuable. Your worth isn’t defined by how much you accomplish or how busy you are. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to take it easy. Resting doesn’t mean you’re lazy, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re any less valuable.

Your value comes from simply being who you are—not from how much you do. Give yourself permission to slow down, to breathe, and to take care of yourself. You are enough just as you are, whether you’re being productive or not.

Healing is about learning to be gentle with yourself, to understand that you are worthy of love, rest, and peace, even when you’re not ticking off every box on your to-do list.

So, take a moment today to remind yourself: I am valuable, even when I rest. You deserve it.

—Travis Bolin LPC

🍋You Deserve to Know This🍋

Even on your hardest days, when doubt weighs heavy on your heart, you deserve to know that you matter. You are worthy. You are loved.

Life has a way of making us question our value, but the truth is, you are more than enough just as you are. It’s okay if you don’t believe it right now—there are times when we all struggle to see our own light. But know this: your presence in this world is important, your story is valuable, and your feelings are real.

At Journey Towards Hope Counseling, we’re here to remind you of your worth and to walk with you through the tough times. You don’t have to face them alone. It’s okay to reach out, to seek support, and to take that first step toward healing. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood.

You matter more than you know.

If you need someone to talk to, we’re here for you. Because your journey toward hope and self-love is one worth taking.

**Take a moment to notice the small things in life.**

In the hustle of busy schedules—work, school, and all the responsibilities that fill our days—we often forget to appreciate the little moments. This morning, while cooking eggs, I looked down and saw a smiley face in the pan. It was simple, but it made me smile.

It reminded me that sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact. The small might be taking a walk with your children, noticing that your daughter cleaned her room, or sharing a quiet moment with a loved one. These are the moments that matter.

I recently heard a story about a woman who was watching old home movies from her family. She watched weddings, birthday parties, and vacations—big, important events that were all captured on film. But she mentioned one video that really stood out to her. It was a birthday party for one of her children, and while the camera was focused on the celebration, there was a split second where it captured her child playing in the dirt. She said that was the moment she wished she had held onto more—those little, everyday moments that often go unnoticed. She wished she had recorded more of those mundane events because they were just as precious.

Let's slow down and cherish these small moments, because one day we might look back and realize that the little things were actually the big things.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and heavy emotions are surfacing, remember: you’re not going backwards in your healing journey. Sometimes, as we grow, deeper layers of our feelings come up to be processed. It’s a sign of progress, not regression. Trust that these moments are part of moving forward.

If you need support through this process, I’m here to help. Reach out to schedule an appointment and let’s navigate this together.

🍋Life can be incredibly hectic, and often we face events beyond our control. However, there is one thing we always have power over: our response.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the whirlwind of daily life, but remember that how you react can make all the difference. Instead of simply reacting to situations, take a moment to breathe, assess, and choose a response that aligns with your values and goals.

Reacting is immediate and often driven by emotions, while responding is thoughtful and intentional. This shift can transform challenges into opportunities for growth and understanding.

Remember, you are stronger than you think, and every situation is an opportunity to practice resilience.

If you or your loved ones need support navigating life's ups and downs, I'm here to help. Together, we can work on strategies to respond rather than react, fostering a healthier, more balanced approach to life's inevitable challenges.

🍋Reminder: It's OK to Take a Break🍋

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like you have to keep pushing yourself non-stop. But here’s an important reminder: It’s perfectly OK to slow down, take a break, and rest.

Whether it’s a day off, a short pause, or just a moment to breathe, self-care is essential for your mental well-being. It’s not a sign of weakness—it's a sign of strength and self-respect.

Remember, taking care of yourself allows you to come back stronger and more focused. So go ahead, give yourself permission to step away and recharge. You deserve it!
