of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. We will never forget 2020, our first epidemic/ pandemic in years. Covid captured everyone’s attention and we all experienced isolation of some form. Isolation vs socialization had such an impact, there was an increase in depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. So please interact with others, friends, family, and your community. Don’t forget to live, love, laugh, as tomorrow is never promised, it is a gift. Another important thing to consider as you spring forward is don’t forget to treat yourself. We know there are some occupations that require, putting others first such as Pastors and Therapists. We also know burn out can happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter your career field or ministry, set boundaries for yourself. Have a schedule, it may fluctuate but do your best to stick to it. Your schedule should include personal time for you, whether it’s going to see your therapist, going to the spa, a date night, or a date day with your spouse, incorporate it into your calendar each month. Most importantly, know your limits. The enemy will try to deceive you by telling you just one more client, one more business deal, one more house to sell, and before you know it, you’re burnt out. As you spring ahead this April develop a healthy balance for your life, if you need support in this area, please know we’re just a phone call away Blessings, Caleb Thomas M.A. LMHC 319 206-0651 caleb@thomasacc.com thomasacc.com Thomas & Associates Counseling & ConsultingCounseling with a God given purpose!
