Have you ever had a day where it seems like nothing is going your way. You are feeling ambitious and motivated to achieve things, but every time you are touching things something else goes wrong that you are having to try and figure out? NO? Just me. Welcome to me trying to remember how to edit this website to add the new clinicians and update things that have expired. All in a way where I just want to go back to bed and try again another day. Maybe that is what we need. To stop and have a redo another day. American society is a constant go go go world. When visiting other countries, I see they take time to relax. They are less stressed about the mundane daily life of work. They seem to know how to balance themselves and invest in something that gives back to their mental health. What do you focus on daily? Do you allow yourself the time to walk away or just sit in the frustration? I am choosing to walk away and try to figure this site out another day. Deep breaths… Dr. Futrell
