Remember that “No” is a complete sentence. Limit time with people you find draining or who overstimulate you. Terrible at setting boundaries? I hope you’ll highly consider Tip #5. (I did, and it really helped!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1883cf32-a7a9-4ef8-9f46-825e9903cdc5/Photography+AF-0910.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - “Don’t Be So Sensitive”: 10 Signs You May Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and 5 Tips to Help You Thrive - If you live in the United States, you probably know that the word “sensitive” is often associated with weakness. However, in many other cultures, being sensitive is seen as a gift! HSPs are creatives, dreamers, philosophers, musicians, artists, intuitives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and healers. We possess the ability to think deeply and reflect critically on the important questions in life. So the next time someone tells you that you are “too sensitive,” look at them with sincerity and say, “Thank you for noticing! That is a gift I celebrate in my life!” John Lennon put it best: “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us and the world will be as one.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/c4d8320e-fabd-42ba-b1ae-0222b222472c/Photography+AF-0312.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - “Don’t Be So Sensitive”: 10 Signs You May Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and 5 Tips to Help You Thrive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/bb88759d-bbed-40ea-adf8-b1256b1ffff8/Photography+AF-0511.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - “Don’t Be So Sensitive”: 10 Signs You May Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and 5 Tips to Help You Thrive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feelcreativewellness.com/blog/how-to-save-a-life-national-suicide-prevention-month monthly 0.5 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/a9da4338-82cf-4ecc-805e-ee787ba2bffb/Ribbon-1.png Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Save a Life: National Suicide Prevention Month - September is National Suicide Prevention Month.

When I was in high school, my Grandpa Homer—who was well known in our small Missouri town for his generosity, kindness, love of animals, and biting sense of humor—was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He owned and operated a family furniture store, Ellis Furniture Co. (now owned by my Dad) and everyone in town knew that if they needed furniture for their family—even if they couldn’t afford it—Homer Ellis would help them out. He was one of the good ones. The disease initially progressed slowly over a period of several years, but by the end he had trouble remembering a lot of things, sometimes even the names and faces of his own children. He was often confused and disoriented, still spending time at the family furniture store socializing with customers but no longer in charge of operations. https://www.feelcreativewellness.com/blog/10-lessons-my-old-dog-taught-me monthly 0.5 2023-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/8d25aa8d-3047-40b7-8365-c5d99ba00e54/41866DA9-A23A-41A3-852A-181BA8985A8F.JPG Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - “Before you cross the street, take my hand. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.” -John Lennon, “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/e3c29883-665e-49f0-b9fb-02bbb613b401/IMG_1153.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - But he hasn’t always been old. When we first adopted him from the SPCA in Vacaville, CA on a hot summer day in 2015, he could easily clear a 4-foot baby gate and sprint like a cheetah after audacious squirrels who dared to enter his territory. He would wolf down ice cream cones—“pup cups” from Sonic—and then beg you for the rest of your meal, too. He spent exactly one night in a crate before he staked his claim in our human bed, where he continues to sleep curled around our heads like a cat every night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/b33bd830-36f6-457c-8307-76d251efd0c5/Gold-48.JPG Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - There’s no moment but this moment. Jersey, like all dogs, exists exclusively inside of this moment. He does not long for the past; he does not fear for the future. He is here now. He experiences joy now. He tunes in to what’s in front of him now. He plays in the grass now. He cuddles with the people he loves now. He rests when he needs to now. He is fully alive now. (He also needs to potty now, so I better take care of that!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/8d2a01ae-b231-4b15-84b1-1697781b5420/IMG_0074.JPG Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 2. A walk outside may not cure the ache, but it will help lessen it. All doggos everywhere: “Feeling glum? Go for a walk. Feeling happy? Go for a walk.” When I first adopted Jersey, he was “prescribed” for me as an emotional support animal after brain surgery. I was learning to walk again (cue the Foo Fighters’ song “Walk”) after a complex illness, and during those dark days Jersey would often lay on my chest while I rested. However, when he sensed that I was in a heavy mood—something dogs can often sense in humans—he would jump up and go sit by his leash near our front door, softly whimpering. At first, this behavior annoyed me, but over time I started to realize that he was offering me a gift: the gift of fresh air, sunshine, birds singing, friendly neighbors waving, and starting to reconnect with my body. Even now, I know that part of grieving Jersey’s inevitable loss will be continuing to take walks around my neighborhood, because though it is painful to think about doing it without him, I know that that’s how I’ll keep moving forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/959d1c65-2509-4427-93d1-d261a034d454/IMG_8227.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 3. Love is bigger than loss. Sometimes our biggest heartbreaks come from our biggest love. Though I know this will be true with Jersey, I also believe that it’s far, far better to love and lose than to not love at all. I will carry that lesson with me throughout the rest of my life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/ade182f2-88b0-4c40-adb2-9b456eda72c9/IMG_4106.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 4. More isn’t always better. Sometimes it’s just…more. With humans, enough can quickly become excess, and excess can quickly become an endless thirst for “more, more, more!” With dogs, as with all things in nature, more is just…more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/536e1751-be23-446f-86b0-67de4b331309/IMG_9110.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 5. Even the smallest things can have big feelings. …and it’s okay to feel them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1b699644-9096-4eac-aa5a-432be05d0205/IMG_6237.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 6. The best things in life often find us. What’s meant for us will find us. So maybe we can relax a bit. When we were at the shelter years ago, I was completely set on adopting a bigger dog that they were calling “Twinkie,” a squat, bulky pit bull mix with the coloring of a husky. But then my partner called me over to another pen and said, “Hey, come look at this little guy.” And there he was: Jersey. At the time, he’d been given the temporary name “PacMan.” He was the only dog in the shelter who wasn’t barking. Tiny and with dark fur, he was easy to overlook. I remember there was a hole in his cot. Now that I know him so well, I know that he had probably dug that hole himself out of anxiety. I don’t know how we’d initially overlooked him in the shelter, but now, years later, I have realized that the things that are meant to find us just will. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/4025b244-a98e-4f0f-b65b-12b0b3c7fe28/IMG_5560.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 7. Simple is just fine. When we first got Jersey, I wanted him to have the best of everything. I can’t tell you how many fancy dog beds and blankets we purchased. But to this day, the thing he loves the most is a hand-me-down green blanket that I owned years before he came into my life. I have a feeling our next dog—whoever that may be—will love that old blanket, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/3f529174-827f-4d45-95a5-0ca5492488af/IMG_3635.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me 8. Never lose your curiosity for life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/02a17c7a-abe7-4359-948a-4a9e28002672/IMG_0057.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 9. Perfection is a myth. On those days when I don’t want to show my face to the world, Jersey loves me just as much as the days when I deem everything to be “perfect.” I love him just as much when he’s freshly groomed as I do when he’s covered in sand and his breath smells of trash. Perfection doesn’t exist. We are lovable exactly as we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/d78bc1da-9e90-4235-8587-bf4643f48629/IMG_1512.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - 10. Things are never so dire that we can’t stop and play. There is always time for play! It shouldn’t be the exception; it should be the rule. Watching Jersey grow old while continuing to find new (often gentler) ways of playing reminds me that we are never too old for play. We just pretend that we are “too busy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/e6f1be99-bf39-4a19-b8e6-899dfd5f37b7/C804082C-E1BE-45C3-BFC5-0F893F148BA8.JPG Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - And on that note, Jersey is reminding me that I’ve worked long enough for today, and it’s time for a walk! So I’ll leave you with this question: when we get to the end of our own lives, do we want to look around and say, “Look at all of these late hours I worked! Look at all of this money I made! Look at all of this stuff I accumulated!” or do we want to look around and say, “These are the people and animals I love (and perhaps miss) deeply. These are the moments of joy I cherish. These are the memories I have of laughing so hard that I snorted. These are the places on this Earth that inspired me with their beauty. And these are the risks I took; some of them resulting in joy, some of them resulting in pain, but all of them worth it.” Loving something you are certain to lose is a big risk, but it is a sure way to feel alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/4427c6c9-b467-4658-afae-b226efd7dc1a/Feel2022-018.JPEG Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - How to Love When the Stakes Are High: 10 Lessons My Old Dog Taught Me - For behind-the-scenes daily content (and lots of Jersey photos), let’s connect on Instagram. https://www.feelcreativewellness.com/blog/wellnesswithouttheculture monthly 0.5 2023-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1686264787031-9KAZB5CHKT4POTTGUNC0/image-asset.jpeg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - Is It Possible to Have Wellness Without Toxic Wellness Culture? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1686263460781-WZ02D9ZCUSH4013ZN2QX/image-asset.jpeg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - Is It Possible to Have Wellness Without Toxic Wellness Culture? - After painstakingly climbing those thirteen stairs, I was tired and aching. However, my specific disability often allows me to push on, despite the pain. Looking down those stairs, I thought about the people whose disabilities would not allow them to participate in the breathwork class I was about to attend (or any other classes at the studio). What about someone in a wheelchair? Someone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I attended the one class, but I never returned. As someone whose needs were overtly overlooked, I didn’t feel welcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1686263335359-BFFUF7GIRICSV6IX7HW2/image-asset.jpeg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - Is It Possible to Have Wellness Without Toxic Wellness Culture? - It it possible to have wellness without toxic wellness culture? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/293b09f2-17d1-4e46-bb62-5636e2f1333c/IMG_8830+%28cropped%29.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - Is It Possible to Have Wellness Without Toxic Wellness Culture? - Lindsay Voorhees, OTR/L, Wellness coach + mindful movement guide Lindsay is a wellness coach and mindful movement guide who helps people discover ways to thrive while living with chronic and complex health conditions.

I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.” –Imagine by John Lennon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/1684616282849-VVH68L4QF9ER353J2SCG/image-asset.jpeg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - A Case for Creative Wellness: How Creativity Can Improve Your Health - “Creative wellness” as the act of using creativity as a tool to help us achieve a state of wellness or well-being. Think: writing a song or painting a picture to help you process something hard instead of keeping it bottled up inside, thus reducing stress or anxiety and increasing positive emotions. “Creative wellness” as the act of infusing creativity into well-established wellness practices or ways of living—like meditation or mindfulness— both for the sake of practicing creativity and as an innovative way to help people stick with these practices and reap their benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/452ad269-9dca-4632-87e3-699f8cea3cdb/IMG_5340.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - A Case for Creative Wellness: How Creativity Can Improve Your Health At the beginning of my meditation sessions, I would turn on calming music and then spend time arranging my bouquet—either adding new pieces of removing anything that needed to be returned to the Earth. I practiced mindfulness by simply focusing on my breathing while I created. I also used objects like acorns and beautiful crystals I had collected to create temporary designs in my meditation space. My goal was simple: create for the sake of creating. (It should be noted that I am a musician, not a visual artist. For me, creating visual art was an easier way to disentangle myself from perfectionism and just create. It should also be noted that creativity is not limited to music and art. Creativity can occur in many forms: writing, reading, gardening, photography, storytelling, crafting, daydreaming, mindful observation, and cooking are just a few more examples in an unlimited list of ways you can practice creativity.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62670363ce91155160bd8e0f/c12632e9-1dfd-484b-be0e-5dffed73035c/Feel2022-115.jpg Blog: Music Therapy, Mindful Living, Mindset, Mental Health - A Case for Creative Wellness: How Creativity Can Improve Your Health Healing is an art.
