Dr. Gretchen’s January Newsletter: Setting Intentions Instead of Resolutions

Setting Intentions and Achievable Goals

As we navigate the challenges that come with the new year and the pressure of setting resolutions, let's shift our focus to a more mindful approach. Instead of succumbing to the stress of traditional resolutions, consider setting intentions and workable goals that align with your aspirations. Setting an intention involves identifying the core values and purpose behind your actions. To put it into daily action, break down your intentions into achievable steps and incorporate them into your routine.  


DREAM BIG!

As you embark on your daily intentions and strive towards achievable goals, don't hesitate to dream big and wholeheartedly pursue your aspirations. Setting realistic daily intentions and attainable goals provides a solid foundation for progress, but it's the audacious dreams that fuel inspiration and drive long-term success. Embrace the journey, stay dedicated to your objectives, and let your dreams guide you. Remember, the pursuit of big dreams often leads to transformative experiences and unforeseen opportunities. So, go ahead, follow your dreams with passion and persistence, and watch as your daily efforts contribute to the realization of your grandest aspirations.

What is Dr. Gretchen Learning This Month?

Dr. Gretchen's dedication to exploring holistic methods reflects her innovative and open-minded approach to mental health. By undertaking a 25-hour Yin Yoga Training this month, she seeks to delve deeper into the potential benefits of yoga and mindfulness practices in addressing the challenges associated with ADHD including sleep and anxiety. Renowned for its meditative and unhurried approach, Yin Yoga has demonstrated positive effects on ADHD, focus, concentration, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and stress alleviation. During her training between Jan. 22 and 26, Dr. Gretchen will be accessible to see clients on the 24th.  If you would like Dr. Gretchen to incorporate Yin Yoga into your weekly sessions let her know.


This proactive initiative not only showcases her commitment to continuous learning but also emphasizes her holistic approach to patient well-being, aiming to integrate diverse strategies into her therapeutic toolkit for the benefit of those struggling with ADHD and related anxiety disorders including sleeping issues.


Looking ahead, stay tuned for a workshop in March focusing on how Yin Yoga can be a powerful tool for gaining clarity, focus, and motivation. Embrace the opportunity to explore new avenues for personal growth and well-being.
