Chronic stress is bad for all aspects of mental & physical health but rarely do we hear what actually defines chronic. If you can fall and stay asleep at night, stress- while uncomfortable, is far less damaging. The takeaway: learn to sleep regardless of daytime stress.

Following your passion is a luxury. Following your values is a necessity.
Passion is a fickle magnet: it pulls you toward your current interests. Values are a steady compass: they point you toward a future purpose.
Passion brings immediate joy. Values provide lasting meaning.
The mere repetition of a behavior causes our nervous system to believe that the specific actions involved, and the context in which they are embedded are important, for better or for worse. Choose what you repeat wisely.
Paddy with a powerful message on mental health.
“I’d rather have you cry on my shoulder than be going to your funeral next week.”
Smash that stigma. Speak up.
It shouldn't take a pandemic to convince people to put their mental health above their careers.
In the long run, the choice between success and well-being is a false dichotomy.
The best way to achieve your goals is to lead a life that invigorates you—not one that drains you.
Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops.
Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement.
Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.
More evidence that aerobic exercise improves brain aging.
People with higher cardiorespiratory fitness (a marker of physical fitness) had a higher total brain volume, gray matter volume, and higher clusters of gray matter associated with cognition.

Mental fitness is:
A consistent well-being regimen
Building resilience
Necessary for people regardless of mental health

An easy, quick fix for burnout
Reserved for those struggling with mental health
The arrival fallacy is the illusion that joy lies at a destination ahead.
Achieving a goal is not like walking through a portal. You don’t magically become happier when you graduate, get promoted, or win an award.
The best way to improve your well-being is to change your path.
A great opportunity to spring into action and your well-being as a parent. The toughest and most fulfilling job on the planet! #coaching#Wellbeing#parents#kids https://t.co/XICWwH67dq
Human attributes - empathy, values, emotions - are the cornerstone of organizations, mental heath, and relationships.
Can we stop calling them "soft skills" already?
For all the obsession about accessing states of “flow”, “awe” & “creativity”, perhaps just focus on learning how to direct your nervous system to states of:
1) Alert-but-calm
2) Sleep
(These are, after all, the foundation of high performance, learning & mental health).
Over the past year, if you didn’t master the guitar, launch a business, or write the great American novel, it doesn’t mean you lack discipline.
It means you were doing your best to stay afloat during a FREAKING PANDEMIC.
Just surviving is an accomplishment to celebrate.
The preference for narcissistic leaders starts early.
In 22/23 classrooms, narcissistic kids got more leadership nominations and claimed to be better leaders—even though they weren't.
We need to teach kids the same lesson as adults: don't mistake confidence for competence.
Have you gotten your dose of social connection today? We need to address the crisis of connection across the world. Please read/share this new co-authored article w/ @niobe_way@nyuniversity & Rick Weissboard @MCCHarvardEd @vivek_murthy@YaleEmotion
