If you’re feeling a little slow, foggy, or off today… you’re not alone. The Monday after a long holiday weekend can hit hard — emotionally, mentally, and physically. Your body is recalibrating. Your mind is catching up. Your routines are easing back in. 🧠✨CBT tip: Notice any self-critical thoughts (“I’m behind,” “I should be more productive”) and gently challenge them. Ask yourself: “Is this thought true? Is it helpful right now?” Replace it with a kinder, more realistic thought, like: “I’m easing back in, and that’s okay.” Give yourself permission to move at the pace you need. One small step is enough for today. Follow @drrachelnyc . . . #MondayMindset #CBTTips #cbttools #SelfCompassion #MentalHealthMatters #SlowDownAndBreathe #whenlifehappens #mindsetshift
