Can acceptance set you free?!🤔

As we begin a new work week…

When work gets stressful, what helps you reconnect with what matters most?

❤️ Time with the people you love

🌿 A hobby or activity that brings you joy

☀️ Taking time to recharge and rest

🎯 Remembering your bigger purpose

There are no wrong answers.

In DBT, we talk about building a life worth living. Sometimes that starts by remembering why we work so hard in the first place.

Which one would you choose—and why?

🧠 DBT Question of the Week

As we settle into the work week…

Which work-life boundary is hardest for you to maintain?

📱 Not checking work messages after hours

🙋 Saying no when your plate is already full

🍽️ Taking an uninterrupted lunch break

🏠 Mentally leaving work at work

There are no wrong answers. Work-life balance is not always about dividing our time perfectly—it often begins with noticing where we need clearer boundaries.

Which one is most challenging for you—and why?

🧠 DBT Question of the Week

As we head into the work week…

Imagine a coworker says something that upsets you.

What’s your first instinct?

❤️ Keep the peace and say nothing.

🌱 Speak up respectfully.

🎯 Replay the conversation in your head all day.

💙 Address it later when you’ve had time to think.

There are no wrong answers. Becoming more effective in communication starts with noticing our natural patterns.

As we return from the long 4th of July weekend, let's take a moment to reset our intentions for the workweek! ❤️

When communicating at work, if you could only choose ONE, which would matter most?

❤️ Being liked (maintaining the relationship)

🌱 Keeping your self-respect

🎯 Getting what you want (meeting your objective)

There are no wrong answers. One of the most valuable lessons in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is that effective communication isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different conversations call for different priorities.

Which would you choose—and why?
