Dare to Heal... Let's Talk!

Happy Holidays, my fabulous Dare to Heal community! 💜 As we celebrate this festive season, I want to take a moment, on behalf of myself and the entire Dare to Heal team, to express our heartfelt gratitude. Whether you've been with us for some time or just joined, you are an essential part of this community, and we’re so thankful for your trust and dedication to your mental beauty journey. This time of year can bring joy, reflection, and a touch of chaos. Remember, it's okay to pause, breathe, and prioritize yourself amid all the celebration. Self-care is selfish—and 100% essential. OUR WISH FOR YOU: Here's to a holiday season filled with love, connection, and a little bit of indulgence just for you. 💜 P.S. Ready to step into the new year with intention? Join us for FREE on January 3rd at 11 am EST for our New Year, New Mindset webinar. We’ll dive deep into goal-setting for mental health, offering tools to make 2025 your most balanced year yet.

The holiday countdown is in full swing, but let’s pause for something just as important—rest, reflection, and a little celebration. Hello, my high-achieving warriors! 💜 Salima here with your Therapy Thursday reminder: growth doesn’t only come from hustle—it also comes from honouring your wins. The end of the year often has us focused on unfinished tasks or unachieved goals. But what if we flipped the script? Instead of dwelling on what’s left, let’s celebrate what we’ve accomplished. Acknowledging your wins, big or small, reinforces resilience. It reminds you of the progress you’ve made, even when the road feels long and exhausting. For those of us balancing high expectations, this practice is a game-changer. This season, take a moment to reflect. Maybe you navigated a challenging project, set boundaries for the first time, or simply managed to prioritize yourself amid the chaos.  Every win counts, and each one reflects your strength and determination. Share one win from this year in the comments. Let’s spark a community of gratitude and inspiration as we close out 2024 on a high note. Remember, self-care is selfish AND 100% essential—and celebrating yourself is a vital part of that care. 💜 💜P.S. Learn the secrets and tools to prioritizing yourself and pushing past the perfectionist in us all. My Name It, Tame It, & Take Back Control program is designed to help you unlearn fear, reset your stress patterns, and build lasting resilience.

"Self-Care Is Selfish"—And 100% Essential Hey, overachievers, caregivers, and perfectionists!  💜 Let’s have an honest moment: when was the last time you unapologetically put yourself first? Here’s the truth: self-care is selfish, and it’s 100% essential. Why? Because we can’t give our best to the world if we’re running on empty. Let’s talk about something most of us struggle to prioritize: self-care. If I could, I’d hire a Human Pamper-er to: ☕ Keep my coffee refilled and my wisdom topped up 📝 Gently nudge me to put down the never-ending to-do list 💤 Lovingly force me into a guilt-free nap when I’m running on fumes OHHHH and wash my hair!!!! I am fully capable but my arms get tired 🤣 Sounds dreamy, right? But here’s the reality: we don’t need a pamper-er—we need a mindset shift. The truth is, self-care IS selfish AND it’s indispensable. And it’s especially critical during the holiday rush, when we’re pulled in a million directions.   Prioritizing yourself is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. Without it, burnout creeps in, joy fades, and the things that matter most feel harder to hold onto. 💜 Here’s the plan: This January, let’s flip the script on how we set goals and care for ourselves.  Join me on January 3rd for my FREE webinar: New Year, New Mindset: Goal Setting for Mental Health We’ll cover: 👉 How to create goals that nourish instead of pressure you 👉 Strategies for unlearning stress patterns and saying “yes” to calm 👉 A roadmap to align your actions with what truly matters >>>You deserve a life that feels balanced and intentional, not overwhelming.  This webinar is your first step toward making 2025 the year you reclaim your peace. 💜 Save your spot today: https://lnkd.in/geP4rkak Let’s kickstart the new year with clarity, connection, and a whole lot of self-love. You deserve it—because even superheroes need rest. #HolidayStress #MentalWellness #NewYearNewYou #TherapyCanada #BurnoutAwareness #PTSDRecovery #TorontoONTherapist #MentalBeauty #RichmondHillONTherapist #Psychotherapist #MarkhamONTherapist #MentalHealthforDoctors #TorontoWellness #DareToHeal #MississaugaONTherapist #MentalHealthforLawyers #MentalBeauty #OntarioBusiness #SalimaJadavji #Counselling #TherapyinCanada #MentalHealthisWealth #OntarioProfessionals #SelfCareIsSelfish #HamiltonONTherapist

For this Holiday Season, ‘Perfect’ Is Overrated—Let’s Embrace ‘Good Enough’ Instead Hello, busy professionals, caregivers, and multitasking heroes juggling a million things this holiday season. 💜 It’s Salima here, with our Mental Beauty Monday reminder: Embrace the beauty of “good enough.” Let’s take a moment to breathe. 💜 The holidays often come with a lot of pressure—planning the perfect family gathering, finding the perfect gifts, or even making your home look Pinterest-worthy. But here’s the thing: chasing perfection can rob the season of its joy. What if we decided that “good enough” is actually... good enough? ✅Store-bought cookies instead of homemade? Done. ✅A cozy, minimalist holiday setup instead of decking every hall? Beautiful. ✅A night off to recharge instead of taking on another commitment? Absolutely. When we let go of perfection, we create space for what truly matters: connection, joy, and a little holiday magic. 👉 Here’s your challenge: What’s one area where you’ll choose “good enough” this holiday season? For me, it’s paring down on how many appetizers I bring to my family gatherings (trust me, it’s usually a trunkful!) —keeping it simple and meaningful. Drop your “good enough” choices in the comments, and let’s celebrate the beauty of imperfection together. P.S. Need more tips for a balanced start to 2025? Join my community newsletter for insights and reflections to keep you grounded all year long. https://lnkd.in/gwD6adSd Let’s thrive, not just survive, this holiday season.

Feeling Drained by Holiday Conversations? Let’s Change That The holidays can be beautiful, but let’s be honest—they can also test your patience. Between juggling work demands, caregiving, and navigating high-pressure environments, holiday conversations sometimes feel like another to-do on your endless list. What if this year could be different? 💜 Here’s a simple, game-changing tip: Before you respond, pause. One deep breath can turn a reactive moment into an intentional response. It’s how you reclaim your calm and shift a potentially stressful conversation into one rooted in connection. Let’s say a colleague brings up a touchy subject at your office party, or a family member starts probing into your personal life: 1️⃣ Breathe. 2️⃣ Centre yourself with a grounding mantra, like, “I respond with intention, not emotion.” 3️⃣ Respond calmly, or choose to change the subject gracefully. Now it’s your turn: 👉 What’s your top tip for keeping holiday communication smooth? Whether it’s setting boundaries, staying mindful, or staying present, I want to hear from you. Drop your wisdom in the comments below! 🎁 Bonus: I’ll feature two of the best tips in next month’s Therapy Thursday post—because sharing insights creates ripples of change we all benefit from. 💜 P.S. Let’s start 2025 as your year of balance and purpose. Join me on Jan 3rd for a powerful webinar on Goal Setting for Mental Health. We’ll align your personal and professional goals with what truly matters and set the tone for your best year yet.

Stress Addiction >>> The Silent Cycle You CAN Break Free From Hey there, mental beauty warriors! 💜 Ever feel like no matter how much you try to relax, your mind won’t stop racing and your body stays tense? That constant state of overdrive isn’t just “normal” stress—it’s stress addiction. It happens when your brain gets so used to the hustle and overwhelm that it mistakes chaos for comfort. 😳 Here’s the truth: You weren’t designed to live this way. Stress addiction keeps us stuck—always on, chasing productivity, and feeling like rest is something to earn. But breaking the cycle is possible, and it starts with understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. Imagine this: Waking up calm, focused, and no longer weighed down by the constant “need to do it all.” Ready to reclaim your peace in 2025? Join my Name It, Tame It, & Take Back Control program—your 6-week journey to breaking free from stress addiction and learning how to embrace calm as your new normal. 💜 Start with a sneak peek: Watch my free 24-minute video to see how you can conquer stress patterns for good. No strings, just clarity. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gfsU3n53 And if it feels like the right next step, jump in before Dec 31 and use code LASTCHANCE2024 to save $134. 🙌 Your peace is worth it, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Hello, mental beauty warriors! 💜 Salima here, and today, I’m sharing a few pics of what November looked like for me. From revitalizing water class to moments of pure stillness, November was all about nurturing my mind, body, and spirit. But let me keep it real: The 1ST photo? That was me feeling under the weather. 😷 Yet, even in that moment, I chose to show up for myself with rest, deep breathing, and a little extra self-compassion. Here’s what I learned: Whether you’re an ambitious corporate climber or a helping professional, we must prioritize ourselves the way we prioritize our goals and the people we serve. Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. 📸 Swipe through these snapshots to see my fave photos from last month. Did you see the last photo? Yeah I know it looks nothing like Canada and definitely isn’t somewhere I went to in November BUT Bali is on my list of magical places to enjoy some selfish self-care. What’s your magical place you want to experience some self-care one day? Drop it in the comments and let’s help each other manifest our dream spot to reality! Now, for more about my journey last month to show up for myself, especially when through some unforeseen health challenges, with rest, deep breathing, and a little extra self-compassion check out my December 8th blog post! >> //daretoheal.co/blog 💜 P.S. Ready to create a life where self-care becomes your superpower? Join my January 3rd webinar, New Year, New Mindset: Goal Setting for Mental Health.

Let’s build a holiday season with intention, joy, and yes… a lot of self-compassion. Hello, my beautiful helpers, healers and high achievers 💜 Today’s Therapy Thursday is for those of us who may feel a bit of the holiday blues creeping in. While we often expect this time of year to be joyful, the reality is that it can bring a mix of emotions, and not all of them are merry. For many, the holidays are a time of reflection, loss, or even loneliness. These feelings are valid and deserve our compassion and care. Acknowledging these emotions isn’t “negative”—it’s real, and it’s an important part of honouring our mental well-being. Embrace your own pace this season, and remember that there is no “right” way to feel during the holidays. Find small acts of comfort that resonate with you, whether it’s journaling, connecting with close friends, or simply taking a quiet walk to centre yourself. Share one gentle practice that helps you honor your feelings during the holidays. Let’s remind each other that self-care is selfish AND 100% essential—even more so when emotions run high. Take care of yourselves, and if you need a safe space to explore and honour every part of this journey the team at Dare to Heal is here for you offering continued 1:1 support and ideas on caring for yourself, exactly as you are, schedule a free consultation today: https://lnkd.in/ggnkimCP #HolidayStress #StressAddiction #MoodDisorders #MentalHealthMatters #TherapyCanada #BurnoutAwareness #PTSDRecovery #EndTheStigma #TorontoONTherapist #RichmondHillONTherapist #Psychotherapist #MentalBeauty #MarkhamONTherapist #MentalHealthforDoctors #TorontoWellness #DareToHeal #MississaugaONTherapist #MentalHealthforLawyers #AjaxONTherapist #MentalBeauty #TherapistOfColor #OntarioBusiness #SalimaJadavji #Counselling #TherapyinCanada #VancouverBCTherapist #MentalHealthisWealth #OntarioProfessionals #SelfCareIsSelfish #HamiltonONTherapist
