A little reminder heading into the weekend: life is happening now. ☀️

Don't save all the good stuff for the vacation, the long weekend, or the day when everything finally calms down.

Play the music too loud in the car.

Get the ice cream.

Call the friend.

Go somewhere you've never been.

Stay outside until the sun goes down.

Start the project you've been excited about.

Laugh. Move. Make plans. Make a memory — even a really ordinary one.

Taking care of your mental health isn't only about coping with the hard days.

It's also about making room for really good ones. 💛

Go find a little joy this weekend.

You don't have to be a therapist to support someone's mental health.

Sometimes the most helpful things are surprisingly simple.

Check on the friend who has been quiet.

Invite someone to do something instead of saying, “We should get together sometime.”

Listen without immediately trying to fix the problem.

Send the text you've been meaning to send.

Tell someone specifically what you appreciate about them.

Ask, “Do you want advice, or do you just need me to listen?”

And if someone you care about is struggling beyond what you know how to help with, encourage them to reach out for professional support.

We can't solve everything for the people we love, but we can remind them they don't have to navigate everything alone.

Here's your challenge for today: think of one person you haven't checked on lately and send the text. ❤️

And if this post made you think of someone, feel free to share it with them instead. Sometimes that's an easy way to say, “Hey, I'm thinking about you.”

🌿 Meet Mallory- Insight’s Intake Coordinator!

If you’ve reached out to Insight about starting therapy, there’s a good chance you’ve already talked with Mallory!

Mallory serves as our Intake Coordinator, helping new clients navigate those first steps into services. She works to learn a little about what someone is looking for, answer questions about getting started, and help connect clients with the therapist, location, and services that may be the best fit for their needs.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming enough without also having to figure out who do I call, who should I see, and where do I even start? Mallory helps make that process a little easier.

Mallory is also a therapist and works with adolescents and adults, with areas of focus including body image and eating concerns, grief, depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, and women’s issues. She is trained in TF-CBT and DBT and is Body Image and Color Analysis Certified.

So, while you may occasionally find Mallory in the therapy room, these days she spends much of her time helping people find their way into the right therapy room.

She’s often one of the first friendly faces (or voices!) you’ll encounter at Insight, and we’re pretty lucky to have her helping people get started. 💚

Tuesday Mental Health Check-In

Before August gets away from us, take 60 seconds and check in with yourself.

How are you doing with the basics?

☀️ Sunlight: Have you been getting outside regularly?
💧 Hydration: Are you drinking enough water?
😴 Sleep: Are you giving your brain enough time to recharge?
🚶 Movement: When was the last time you moved your body in a way you enjoyed?
❤️ Connection: Have you spent time with someone who makes you feel good lately?
🧠 Mental space: Have you had any time when you weren't working, scrolling, caregiving, or completing a task?
🌿 Support: Are you asking for help when you need it?

Mental health isn't maintained by doing all of these perfectly. Sometimes the most helpful thing is simply noticing which area has gotten pushed to the side and giving it a little more attention.

Pick ONE for this week.

Which one could use a little attention right now? Drop the emoji in the comments, no explanation required.

Thinking about therapy but nervous about that first appointment? That’s pretty normal, especially if you’ve never been to therapy before.
Your first session usually isn’t about walking in, sitting down, and immediately telling a stranger every difficult thing that has ever happened to you.
It’s really about getting to know each other.
Your therapist may ask about:
• What brought you to therapy
• What has been feeling difficult lately
• Your mental health and medical history
• Important relationships, family, work, or school
• Things you’ve tried before and what has or hasn’t helped
• Your strengths and current supports
• What you’d like to be different as a result of therapy
You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for your therapist. Therapy is a relationship, and feeling comfortable with the person sitting across from you matters.
And you don’t need to arrive with perfectly articulated goals.
“I’m overwhelmed and I don’t really know where to start” is a perfectly reasonable place to start.
By the end of the first few sessions, you and your therapist can begin identifying goals and figuring out what approach makes the most sense for you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. The first appointment is simply that—a first step. 🌿

Having something to look forward to can be surprisingly good for your mental health — and it doesn't have to be a vacation or a big event.
Give yourself something small to anticipate this week:
• Dinner from your favorite place
• A walk somewhere new
• Starting a new book
• Coffee with a friend
• Working on a project you actually enjoy
• Planning a day trip
• Trying a new recipe
• Spending an evening outside
Anticipation can create positive emotion before the activity even happens. Sometimes giving your brain a future moment to move toward can help break up a week that feels like nothing but work, responsibilities, and routines.
So put something on the calendar that you actually want to do.

Rest is productive too.

Consider this your permission slip to have a completely normal weekend.
Go get ice cream.
Walk around Target with no real purpose.
Sit by the pool.
Finish a project you've been avoiding.
Take the kids somewhere fun.
Watch three episodes of something in a row.
Go outside and get sweaty doing something you actually enjoy.
Mental health isn't only about processing the hard stuff.
Having fun is good for you, too.
☀️ What's one thing you're doing purely because you want to this weekend?
