Wellness Wednesday: Animal Assisted Counseling of Indiana
Simple Ways to Boost Mental Wellness Every Day
We all need a little support sometimes. On this Wellness Wednesday, we’re sharing simple mental wellness tips you can use every day to feel more grounded, balanced, and emotionally strong. Whether you’re starting your morning with intention or winding down with a calming ritual, small steps make a big difference. At AACI, we believe even the soft nudge of a therapy dog can help remind you—you’re not alone.

When we feel overwhelmed, change can feel impossible. But building mental wellness doesn’t mean overhauling your life overnight. Try beginning your day with:
5 deep breaths before checking your phone
A glass of water and a morning stretch
Petting your dog or spending a quiet moment with your animal companion
Even just these actions signal to your brain that you are safe and in control.

Mental wellness doesn’t mean doing it all alone. If you find that everyday stress feels too heavy or your emotional patterns are interfering with your daily life, it might be time to talk to someone.
At AACI, we offer a welcoming environment where therapy dogs help break down emotional walls and provide comfort during sessions. You can explore therapy in a way that feels gentle and grounded in support.
