Taking Inner Control

by

Fear, Self-Discovery and the Messiness of Life | Grit Mindset Therapy | Psychologist in Mountain View, CA | Munn Saechao, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC

Let’s talk about empowerment! πŸ’ͺ✨

In this rollercoaster called life, there are three precious things you hold the reins to:

First, your response to your feelings. Emotions can be like wild waves, but remember, you are the captain of your ship. Choose to navigate them with grace, compassion, and self-awareness.

Second, what you hold onto. Whether it’s past grievances, limiting beliefs, or toxic relationships, you have the power to decide what stays in your heart’s treasure chest. Choose wisely, for what you cling to shapes your reality.

And finally, what you let go. Release the burdens that weigh heavy on your soul – the doubts, the fears, the should-haves. Set them free, and watch as space is made for new beginnings, growth, and lightness of being. πŸŒŸπŸ’–

Self-Care Tip | Grit Mindset Therapy | Mountain View, CA | Psychologist in Mountain View | Treating Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and Trauma

Mary Oliver’s words resonate deeply – a gentle reminder that perfection isn’t the path to self-worth. Embrace your flaws, your quirks, your raw authenticity. You don’t need to prove your worth through feats of endurance or endless penance. Instead, let your heart guide you, honoring the whispers of your soul. Embrace your passions, your desires, your unique essence. Love fiercely, without restraint, letting the softness of your being lead the way. It’s in this gentle surrender that we find true liberation in embracing ourselves fully, just as we are.

Embracing Challenges

Embracing Challenges|Grit Mindset Therapy | Psychologist in Mountain View, CA | Munn Saechao, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC

πŸ–€ Embrace Challenges πŸ–€β£β£
⁣⁣
Sometimes, the most unexpected gifts come wrapped in shadows. 🎁✨ Someone I cherished once handed me a box full of darkness.

At first, I recoiled, questioning why they would burden me so. Yet, as time passed, I began to unravel the layers of this mysterious gift. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In those moments of obscurity, I discovered resilience, courage, and a deeper understanding of myself. πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ’‘ Each challenge, each trial, was a lesson waiting to be learned. It took me years to realize that within the depths of that darkness lay the seeds of growth and transformation. πŸŒ±πŸŒ‘β£β£
⁣⁣
The struggles we face are not meant to break us but to shape us into who we are meant to become. 🌟✨ They are the catalysts for our evolution, guiding us towards our true purpose. So, let us not fear the darkness but embrace it, for within it lies the gift of self-discovery and enlightenment. 🌌🎁⁣⁣

Self-care Tip

Selfcare Tip by Dr. Munn | Grit Mindset Therapy | Psychologist in Mountain View, CA | Munn Saechao, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC

Rain or shine, you’ll find me outdoors! I simply can’t help it!

I never imagined that I would crave movement and exercise like I do now. Neurotically checking my heart rate and my steps, it’s become a critical part of my lifestyle, much like sleeping, eating, and drinking water. Without movement I simply can’t function and rarely hit a peak in energy and focus.

The key is to be consistent. Even if you’re moving for 10 minutes because that’s all the time you have, commit to the task in spite of how you feel. Get in the habit of doing the activity; it’s more important to be consistent in frequency in the beginning, than shooting for an occasional long duration of movement and exercise.

Did you get your movement in for the day? Leave a message!

Self-care Tip

by

There are times when I don’t feel like doing things that are restorative or good for me (drinking 64 oz of water or sleeping 7-8 hours a night, etc.). The list of “self-care activities” goes on.

I do these things, or at least I try to do these things because I know I’ll feel better, be more focused and productive, show up more present and engaged in relationships, which ultimately leads to greater happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment and motivation.

Essentially, everything is connected; our choices today will impact how we show up in the world tomorrow. Choose to engage in restorative tasks, once you feel and see the benefits, you’ll likely wonder why you even contemplated.

Starting Over | Grit Mindset Therapy | Mountain View, CA

by

Starting over by Dr. Munn

Historically, I’ve had the unreasonable expectation that I should know how to do something novel, and be able to do it well on my first try. “Wow, what I disappointment I was to myself, time and time again!” β €
β €
Having this expectation meant that I am doomed to fail, because it is not possible for me to achieve “success” on every new task. And of course, my next automatic thought was, “I should just quit because I can’t get it right!” β €
β €
Many professional women have very high and sometimes unreasonable expectations of themselves, and they derive satisfaction and pride in their ability to “succeed” on a task, which isn’t a bad thing, it’s problematic when it’s our only understanding of success, and our sense of self worth is wrapped around approval from others. β €

I’ve had to redefine what success means to me. I am successful because I persevere, and I am willing to keep trouble shooting until I figure it out.

My hope is that you will keep trying, over and over, and as often as needed, until you figure it out. β €

Self-care Tip

Selfcare Tip by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC, located in Mountain View, CA.

Professional women have to be intentional about attending to our selfcare. One way is by being present with our internal and external experiences.

Here, I can feel the pace of my heart slowing down, the sun beaming against my face, the breeze gliding against my cheeks, the sound of voices and laughter from locals and tourists surrounding me, and the sight of what looks like an infinite blue ocean eliciting feelings of curiosity and gratitude.

What are you noticing internally while in the context of your external environment? I’d love to hear from you!

Be kind to yourself by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC, online and on-site therapist for driven girls and women.

Be kind to yourself by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC | Grit Mindset Therapy | Mountain View, CA

I am my worst critic. For much of my life, I have set personal deadlines and expectations that were unreasonable and difficult to obtain, and as a result, set myself up to fail.
β €
I had a supervisor tell me that I set my bar incredibly high, and to essentially lower my bar. Wow, this was such a blow to my sense of self. “You mean, I have flaws?” Yes, indeed, I do, sadly. In fact, let’s be honest, we all do. β €
β €
While I initially rejected her feedback, I’ve since spent a lot of time thinking and pondering over the validity of this, and the reality is, she is absolutely correct. Now, when the worse critic emerges, the best encourager counteracts it with words of kindness and compassion.β €
β €
Learning to be kind to oneself is a process, and the good news is, we can practice this daily, over and over again until the encouraging voice becomes salient and loud in our minds. β €
β €
How will you encourage yourself this day? I’d love to hear from you!

Expressions of gratitude by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC

Expressions of gratitude by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC, online therapist located in Mountain View, CA.

Professional women are often on the go, moving from one thing to the next, checking off items on their to do list and synthesizing it so it’s more efficient.

It’s often quite hard for them to slow down, and in fact, they need an external force (illness, children, etc.) to slow them down. The internal breaks are so foreign and novel that it’s hard for them to step on the breaks without feeling tremendous guilt.

One of the things we can do to help create an internal break is to express daily gratitudes. Gratitude allows us to take a momentary break without the accompanied feelings of guilt or shame.

On this national holiday I encourage you to cease the moment, be intentional about slowing down, express gratitude, and simply just sit in the experience

What are you grateful for? I’d love to hear from you!

Laughter as self care by Dr. Munn, PsyD, LCSW, PPSC

by

I’ve been asked a number of times, how do you deal with suffering? My response is, “laughter.” I think laughter is the antidote to pain and suffering. Therefore, it’s important to balance the stress of living with laughter and lightheartedness. After-all, life seems too short to dwell and live in past sufferings, particularly when we have a choice. I know it’s easier said than done. Yet, I encourage you today to put forth the effort to cultivate joy in your life by surrounding yourself with individuals who bring you laughter. I mean, why not?β €
