Navigating New Beginnings: Prioritizing Wellness This Fall
Hi Reader
As we look toward November, the days grow shorter and seasonal shifts can bring unique mental health challenges. At Dynamic Intervention Wellness Solutions, we understand that this time of year can stir up seasonal stress, feelings of loneliness, or the added pressures of preparing for the holiday season. We’re here to support you with tools and strategies to stay grounded and resilient, no matter what this transition brings.
In this edition, we’ll be sharing tips on managing stress, establishing routines for well-being, and making room for self-care as we prepare to welcome the holiday season. Our team at DIWS is here to help you navigate this time with confidence and clarity, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
As the season shifts, it's easy to feel unsettled. Take a moment for yourself with this grounding exercise: Sit or stand comfortably, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths. Focus on the sensation of your feet firmly planted on the ground. Let each breath bring you back to the present, releasing tension with every exhale. Practice this for a few minutes and notice how even a small pause can make you feel more centered and at peace.
Remember, even in the busiest of times, a few moments of mindfulness can help you stay grounded and connected to yourself as you move through this season of change.
If you're looking for more ways to stay balanced this fall, reach out to DIWS and schedule a session with one of our therapists to explore mindfulness practices tailored to your needs.

"The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk
This powerful book explores how trauma is stored in the body and how individuals can reclaim their lives through understanding and healing. It's a must-read for those interested in how the mind and body are interconnected when it comes to mental health.
People are hurting, struggling with war, natural disaster, crime, homelessness, poverty, illness etc. Our minds are reeling from revelations of trusted and revered people caught up in wrongdoing. The pressure and stress of time management and organization just to get through the day let alone have the perceived luxury of taking time for ourselves to even think about gratitude and appreciation. So how can we begin to focus on gratitude and appreciate the little things in life. If you’ve read here then you are beginning the journey.
First, we need to find the time, maybe before jumping out of bed and onto the cell phone, to put time limits on your technology. Like a job that’s 9-5, maybe constrain your use of mindless scrolling, or over commitment to fit your lifestyle. For example. If you work 9-5, you can use your commute time to reflect on all you “GET TO DO…” that is the beginning of a gratitude practice. We don’t “HAVE TO…” we “GET TO…”
