This is your reminder that it’s okay if you’re feeling a little slower lately. The days are colder, the sun sets earlier, and everything just feels a bit heavier. It’s not that you’re losing motivation — your body and mind are adjusting. In CBT, we talk a lot about those unhelpful thoughts (or cognitive distortions) — those automatic stories we tell ourselves like “I’m being lazy” or “I should be doing more.” But when you pause and look at the facts, the truth is: you’re tired because your routine, light, and energy are changing. Try gently reframing those thoughts: 👉 “My energy is lower because the season has shifted.” 👉 “I can slow down without falling behind.” You’re not lazy. You’re human. 🤍 Follow @drrachelnyc . . . #mindsetshift #cbttips #mentalhealthmatters #selfcompassion #cbttools #whenlifehappensbook
