Let’s Start with a Conversation
At 20 Minute Counseling, our motto is simple: It’s all in the conversation. On your journey toward a more joyful, easeful life, conversation is key. To begin this journey, start by booking your first COMPLIMENTARY 20 Minute consultation where I can get to know more about you and your goals.
We’ll Build a Custom Toolkit of Strategies
At the core of 20 Minute Counseling is the belief that with a few simple, easy-to-apply strategies, you can start experiencing a calmer, more fulfilling life. In our sessions together, I will work with you to build a toolkit of strategies that you can use to reach a state of ease in any situation.
You’ll Feel More Peace, Ease, and Calm
The central goal of 20 Minute Counseling is to help you feel better every minute of every day. Drawing on our weekly 20 Minute conversations, your toolkit of strategies, and applicable follow-up materials, you will begin to feel calmer, steadier, and more excited about life!
A Strategy You Can Try Right Now:
Quiet Your Mind
One of my first go-to strategies when things start to feel a little off is to “quiet my mind.” This simply means to quiet the noise in your head by focusing on something else. Meditation is a wonderful way to do this, but you don’t always have the time to commit to a full meditation. So instead, I focus on simply quieting my mind by focusing on a mantra or a steady sound in the room.
For example, imagine you’re at the grocery store, running late, and the line is moving slowly. Frustration starts to build, and anxiety begins to creep in. Before those feelings take over, pause and say to yourself, slowly, “Stop. Quiet your mind. Quiet your mind. Quiet your mind.” Repeat this as many times as you need until you feel a shift in your emotions. It may seem simple, but it’s surprisingly effective at calming your mind and shifting your emotions in the moment.
