The happiness that we create for ourselves is so much more meaningful, powerful, and permanent. Sure, it can feel nice to depend on others to make you happy. But it is never permanent or healthy. It is our responsibility to make ourselves happy. We benefit from learning that we are responsible for our own happiness and then bringing that about for ourselves. . . . .... #palmviewpsychology #january2021 #newbeginnings #change #happiness #pursuitofhappiness #goals #newyearsresolution #psychotherapy #psychologist #clinician #psychiatry #anxiety #depressionhelp #copingstrategies #helpisavailable #telehealth #sandiego #california #therapythursday #selfcare #needsmet #selflove #mindfulness See more

Change is an inevitable part of life. Realizing that nothing lasts forever is one of the keys to lasting happiness and peace. Many people are unhappy because they do not accept the things or circumstances that they can’t change or have no control over. This leads to unnecessary frustration, disappointment, and suffering. Instead, we should focus our time and energy on the parts of our lives that we can change and accept the ones that we cannot. . . . #palmviewpsychology #control #psychotherapy #psychology #copingskills #telehealth #telehealththerapy #mindfulness #grateful #january #2021 #counselingpsychology #counseling #therapy #sandiego #california #happyholidays #anxiety #depressionhelp #meditation #courage #empowerment #covid_19 #change #growthmindset #emotionalintelligence #privatepractice #seekingtherapy #psychiatry

Gratitude helps you see what’s there instead of what isn’t. Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want. What are you grateful for today? . . .... . #palmviewpsychology #newyear #newgoals #2021 #psychology #mentalhealth #therapygoals #copingskills #grateful #gratitude #mindfulness #meditation #compassion #acceptance #couplestherapy #marriagegoals #marriagecounseling #gettingstronger #love #sandiego #counseling #telehealth #california #covid_19 #selfcare #selfdevelopment See more
