MADNESS! March Madness is one of my favorite times of the year. Whether you are cheering for the underdog or checking out the college players that are bound to have impactful NBA careers, the storylines are incredible.

As I watched the college basketball games, I couldn’t help but think of one of my more recent battles of “fighting” for my rest. Putting up boundaries and engaging in self-care when the world is constantly looking for you to do “more”. (Hello fellow people pleasers, we try until we break.)

If we want to truly rest, we can take a page out of basketball’s playbook and play a little offense AND defense. Rest doesn’t mean that we just stop. We need to DEFEND our output of energy and go on OFFENSE with activities that feed our soul.

A recent TED Talk compared our ability to recover like a bathtub. We need to stop the drain of energy from the tub AND fill it with rejuvenating activities. Here’s to you not needing to wait until the weekend to protect your energy with a full court press.

💟 These days it’s more important than ever that your wellness journey starts with the right resources! 💟 Check out these sites providing information on exercise, nutrition, stress, wellness, regulation, parenting, autism, trauma informed care, and other wellness topics. 🧘‍♀️✨ Link in bio 🔗

Remember, wellness isn’t just about one domain or one look for everyone —it’s about balance and awareness of different seasons of life! Take small steps and prioritize what feels right for you. Reach out if you’d like individualized support. You’ve got this! 🤍💪 #ZetaWellness #WellnessJourney #MentalHealthMatters #HealthyHabits #SelfCare

The Health Belief Model is usually most applicable when deciding to make a change. This framework looks at the threat of a potential health risk versus one’s capacity to change.

How likely is it that I’ll encounter this health problem? How likely is it that this problem will seriously affect me?

How significant will making a change benefit me? How difficult will it be to make a change?

Now, back to the kitchen. When do you decide to clean your kitchen? Do you weigh the pros and cons of how late at night it is?

Your energy levels? What happened at work that day? How significantly your kids weren’t exactly little angels? How many dishes are in the sink?

Other things that could use your time at the moment? If there is something in the sink that could stink up the house? Your learning history of waking up to a clean kitchen?

Your desire to food prep or use the kitchen without additional work? If company is coming over? If you want to identify as a person who regularly has a clean kitchen?

No shame in deciding to put off doing the dishes one night! There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the decisions in your life, no matter how guilty influencers might make you feel.

The decision to act based on these variables is most likely a contextual, daily decision. What’s something in your wellness journey that you can relate to the Cleaning Kitchen action? #zetawellness

I Used to Believe...
That I was a “bad” mom for taking care of myself with my daughter, I had to find a way to prioritize my health while she was sleeping or at school. but now I know that I’m modeling healthy habits and teaching my daughter to value things that are important to her.
How do your kids respond when they see you prioritizing your wellness? #zetawellness

Mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn has defined mindfulness as “the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally”.

Mindfulness isn’t just sitting down and meditating in the traditional sense, attributed to the Buddhist teachings. Practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) aim to stay in the present moment and act in a way that aligns with one’s values.

Engaging in behavior derived from ACT means focusing on living your best life and not just coming to it when you are in crisis or first come upon a diagnosis.

Allow yourself to workout for 1 minute. Start your warm-up, then permit yourself to go home. No guilt.

You aren’t going to always feel like moving your body, but it’s SO BENEFICIAL for your physical, mental, and emotional health. So can you minimize the resistance to get your body started?

Just put on your workout clothes, get to the place where you need to work out and put on a timer for one minute. If you aren’t having it after that, go home and do the thing that you need at that moment.

Most of the time though, you will hear that timer go off and say “You know what, I CHOOSE to keep going”. It might not be a personal best, but you keep showing up and that consistency is key.

BONUS: Draw a little smiley face to show how you feel after your workout. Put it on your workout tracker or the corner of your planner. Spoiler: lots of smiles at the end of the workout EVEN IF those smiles weren’t there at the beginning. (See my MOOD FOLLOWS ACTION post from Sunday.) #zetawellness #exercise #workout

When was the last time you did something just for fun? Just PLAYED?

Remember that feeling of the wind in your face when you were running outside? No workout watches, no timers, just running around with your friends.

If I could go back to this moment playing soccer with my friends in 4th grade, I’d remind her to play. Everyday. (Also, your legs are going to be SO strong. Be proud!)

In this season of life, play to me is doing silly things with my kids and taking walks listening to podcasts that make me laugh. Soon it will be back to workouts and runs, too.

What’s your play personality? Check it out! https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-importance-of-play-for-adults #zetawellness #play

• @iamhayleykaye Stop trying to force yourself into boxes that you were never meant to fit in ✋

You can push yourself and try new things but don’t forget to also give yourself permission to be human - to make mistakes, to have big feelings, to take care of yourself.

Only you know what you really need, and what feels right for you. Trust that 💗

“The way that you can be good is to try.” (Paraphrased from Mike Shore on the @richroll podcast)
.
Anyone else get stuck in the space between trying to grow but also not trying to f*ck up the new thing that you want to do? Embracing sitting in uncomfortable places and recognizing your privilege in being able to enter and exit those spaces?
.
Yeah, me too. I don’t remember the context of these words, but they remind me that trying to be better and doing good in various spaces starts with honest, vulnerable effort. #try #getuncomfortable #getbetter #zetawellness

HUGE fan of reflecting on words of wisdom from books and podcasts. Today’s paraphrase comes from a podcast with @bjfogg. Appreciate your work on habit change, Dr Fogg! #healthyhabits #zetawellness

♻️ What are you reducing, reusing, and recycling this Earth Day? I’ll start!

♻️ Reduce: walk/bike for short travel and use all groceries before they expire
♻️ Reuse: use multi-use instead of single-use plastic especially in the kitchen
♻️ Recycle: teach my daughter to put cardboard, paper, and glass in the correct bin

#earthday #reduce #reuse #recycle #zetawellness

Quick breakfast idea! I love this recipe because it’s quick, filling, warm, and you can create new variations by changing up the fruit, nut, or protein powder. What do you love to add to your oatmeal? #recipe #zetawellness #nutrition

#BCBA here! Traditionally our field has had a majority of its clientele from the autistic community BUT we haven’t done a great job listening to autistic voices and celebrating neurodiversity. This post by Dr Yulika Forman has some awesome suggestions for professionals and parents in the comments section. I also encourage you to follow more individuals who identify as autistic. They have and continue to teach me so much. -Lauren (owner/clinician of @zetawellness) ❤️ Repost: @theexpertally I wanted to post this as soon as I could so that this thoughtful school administrator has enough time to prepare.
.
It always makes me so happy to hear from teachers, school administrators, and school therapists who want to learn. Imagine going to a school that "sees" you as an autistic student.
.
Let's put our heads together to answer this question, and we will know that somewhere in NC autistic students will feel seen. This could also be a good opportunity for parents to get ideas to suggest at their children's schools. I will make a post with a summary of suggestions as well.
.
And don't worry, I am coming back to the conversation about behavior. I will be posting on stimming, and I even have a reel coming up! Yes, I made a reel!
.
Follow @theexpertally and check back often for new helpful content.
.
UNRELATED BUT IMPORTANT: for a limited time, I am offering 15-min consultations to raise money for sensory items for autistic kids displaced due to the war in Ukraine. 100% of the proceeds will be used to buy these sensory items. For details and to register, please see the Linktree in my bio or my highlight Help 🇺🇦. If you don’t need a consultation and want to donate, there is a box you can check indicating that you won’t be using the consultation and it’s donation only. Thank you in advance.
