Hello,
Wow, time flies! Here we are at the start of another new year... and what an amazing 2023 it has been!
This month's newsletter has a media roundup as well as a blog on letting go of the old to make way for the new. When we grow and embrace new things, it is sometimes normal to need a little extra rest. The body is adjusting, but so is the mind: The brain actually reorganizes itself during sleep. It's kind of like the way we defragment a hard drive on a computer so that it will run more efficiently.
Now that you know a little bit about how big changes can sometimes stimulate the need for extra rest, I urge you to give yourself permission to take extra rest and relaxation as we progress into the new year. Sometimes high functioning people need this encouragement, since they often think they are just being lazy--- when the truth is actually that they need extra rest to facilitate all the growth and change they are fostering.
As always, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to hit reply and tell me what your plans are for the new year, or what have been some of your greatest victories or learning lessons from 2023!
Warmly,
Dr. Chloe Carmichael PhD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
