Hello Everyone, 
Now that the stress of Thanksgiving and Black Friday has come to an end, we can all take a breath and begin to relax. Let's keep this breathing and relaxing going into our new week, and then the new month and onto the new year. Be mindful of when you are sweating the small stuff. When you catch yourself sweating the small stuff, take a deep breath and imagine that the air you are breathing out is the small thing that you were about to get worked up over. Let's try to relax more, breath more and let go of what we can. Not everything is a big thing, and yet sometimes we treat even the smallest of things as if they are big things. Try being more mindful today and tomorrow and so on, so that you can have peace and relax more and not be so stressed out. 
Take care everyone, I hope you see what, "Not sweating the small stuff" can do for you! 

Hello Everyone, 
We at Capstone Counseling are so thankful for all the lives and experiences that have been shared with us. During this time we love to reflect and to be reminded and to share all that we are thankful for. We know that the holidays can be a difficult time of year for many. We also know that there is always something to be thankful for. We encourage you to find it and hang on to that thought. Name what you are thankful for, we are thankful for you!
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for reading!

Hello Everyone, 
Live the life you want. Do the things that bring life, happiness and love into your life. So many of us keep ourselves from the life we want. Dream big and go for it. Every person that is living a life they want, started with a dream and an idea of what their life could look like and then they made small steps towards that dream. Don't stop to contemplate it or allow yourself or others to discourage you. Just keep taking the steps forward. Sometimes, we have to just go and not think so much, trusting a process and following it can lead us to our lives. If you are not living the life you wanted, I would argue because it's not your life. So go get YOUR life, one that is specific and precious to you. Be grateful for all of it, yes, but don't settle and don't get stuck. If you are stuck, start dreaming again and then take the small steps necessary to work towards a life you want. Don't allow anyone to take your life, not yourself, a partner, a fear, a parent or a stranger. You decide your life, you decide what you want. Dream big and go for it, that is what any other person has done that is living their life. Close your eyes and image yourself in your perfect life. What are you wearing, what does the environment feel like, what's around you and what are you doing in this life of yours. Hold tight to that image and refuse to let it go. Make steps towards achieving it, it's not about what anyone else is doing to you, for you, or around you, and it's everything about what do you want and how do you start to go for it. You deserve a life, and a life you love, now go get it!
Take care everyone and stay encouraged!
