College kids knowingly choosing an electric shock over being bored. Addicted to phones much?!! I get the irony that I'm using my phone to send but watch this the next time you're NOT bored. https://t.co/WncdxCvXh4

Studying your own failures can make them seem less earth-shattering.

One researcher suggested in a 2010 article in Nature that people maintain a “CV of failures,” a written list of the things that haven’t worked out in life. This might sound like rumination, but a CV of failures is very different because it is written.

Rolling things around in your head keeps them in the murky realm of emotions, which are hard to manage. Putting them on the page may force you to employ more cognitive processing, which gives you a clearer, more logical perspective on the events—and can even help you see their positive side.

Stuck on a tough decision?

Here’s why and how to fix it:

You’re too close to the problem.

The solution? Don’t think like a scuba diver.

Think like an oceanographer.

The biggest risk to young people's mental health is not screentime. It’s addictive behavior.

4-year study: The warning sign of serious issues isn’t hours on devices, but whether kids struggle to control their usage.

We should worry less about time than distress and compulsion.
