This picture speaks a thousands words.
This is an Iranian woman fighting for her right to be free. Her beautiful hair hanging down is a symbol of freedom. The wounds on her back are a symbol of courage.
This picture is hope. #مهسا_امینی #اعتصابات_سراسری

The truth sets you free.

Denial keeps you in pain.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Being triggered is a natural, normal part of the human experience.

Being triggered is emotionally healthy.

Our focus needs to be on teaching people to regulate through a trigger.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The best teachers don’t teach you what to think, they guide you back to yourself. So you can think for yourself.

"Remove the branches of a thorn bush today and you'll avoid a scrape this year. But next year, you'll face the same problem again.
Remove the root of the bush today, and the entire plant will die.
Are you solving problems at the branch level or the root level?"

Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult.

The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce.

Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How to disagree without being disagreeable:

1. Show respect: Your views matter to me

2. Ask for permission to challenge: Can we dance?

3. Signal helping, not attacking: I'd love to pressure-test that

4. Express openness: Curious to hear your reactions. What should I rethink?

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Cold exposure can be a safe way to teach your body to extend its window of tolerance.

Go into the cold. Breathe. Calm the mind. Teach the body safety.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

One of the rarest and most admirable human traits is: self regulation of autonomic arousal.

(Reflects top-down prefrontal-to-limbic control).

Equates to: enhanced focus, accuracy of speech & actions & staying power in all endeavors.

It’s obvious when present, or absent.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

In our lowest points of our lives, we can still choose to love ourselves. To be kind to ourselves. And, when the time comes to say to ourselves: “I choose to make choices that lead me to a new outcome.”

3 simple questions to improve your day.

At the beginning of the day:
"What am I optimizing for?"

During the day:
"What's the best small thing I can do right now?"

At the end of the day:
"Did I do my best?"

"Spend more time searching for better information sources.

A body filled with junk food struggles to move well.

A mind filled with junk thoughts struggles to think well."

"Motivation often comes after starting, not before.

Action produces momentum."

"Most of the excuses I made...
-not enough time
-not enough money
-not enough knowledge
-not the right connections
...were just ways to avoid the real bottleneck: Not enough courage.
There was always a small step I could have taken—if I had the guts to take it."
