"You don't have to go to a monastery to meditate for 10 days in silence. You can look into the eyes of your kid who is crying. You can bake a birthday cake. You can spend time with friends & eat a good meal. That's where God is" @hillarylmcbride on Loving THIS with @michaelgungor

Dairy has long been touted as a healthy source of calcium. But a recent review, titled “Milk and Health,” published in the New England Journal of Medicine, raises questions about milk’s purported benefits and dairy’s impact on the planet. https://t.co/fdfRvWllGi

Research has shown that making small, incremental changes over time is a more successful method for achieving goals than attempting large, sweeping changes. @PsychToday

"'Smart' kids stand to become especially averse to making mistakes, which are critical to learning and succeeding." How does the parenting language we use surrounding intelligence affect our children's motivation to learn? #parenting #emotionalagility

Psychologist @AlisonGopnik understands babies and children as the R&D division of humanity. She discusses what they teach us about what it means to be human — and how they change the mind of our species, generation after generation.

The things that matter aren't sexy.

Culture teaches us to seek money, power, and fame. And yet, we are no happier with these things.

What fulfills us is being a mom or a dad, a son or a daughter, a partner, a soul mate, a trusted friend, ... to the people in our lives.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

The current ethos runs contrary to mastery. The culture pushes us to chase status and instant gratification; to eliminate hard work or challenging emotions immediately; and to consume our way out of discomfort. But none of this works. There's a better way. https://t.co/E0cMRpaL6n

The paradox of belonging, says @BreneBrown, is that it requires us to be witnessed in our truth, even if that means standing alone.

Not only does writing help you process experiences, it also helps you step out of your emotions and into meaningful action.

Lots of activities that feed the superficial, craving ego—and therefore prevent flow—feel really good in the moment because they provide an acute sense of relevance and meaning. But checking notifications is like eating candy. Too much makes you feel sick. https://t.co/Y7vqc0felW

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

Trying to be less wrong is better than trying to be right.

When you focus on being less wrong, blindspots become visible, beliefs no longer need protecting, and you become open to better ideas.

Outcome over ego.

"The measure of our compassion lies not in our service of those on the margins but in our willingness to see ourselves in kinship. And so that means the decided movement towards awe and giant steps away from judgment." — @FrGregBoyle https://t.co/Dtho7hLRnB
