@Joey7Barton Hey Joey! Rovers fan here, reaching out to see if you’d like to talk about non-football stuff (mindset/philosophy) for the MindThatEgo Podcast. Contact form is down on your site. Could you DM me or give me details of where to send further info? Cheers 💙

[Ricky Derisz @RDerisz]

@Trinnrachaaell Thanks so much! I’m happy my thoughts have added to your enjoyment of such an incredible film, it was a joy to write. It’s been a few years since I’ve watched DD, I’m due a rewatch too. Maybe I’ll re-read the article after 😁

Cherish the perspective shifters in your life ❤️! Perspective shifters are the friends or family in your tribe who know you, hear you, don't judge & offer a different perspective in times of need or distress. We all need this support.

Are you a PS for your tribe?

@TruehopeEmpower Thank you for sharing 😊

@JoshWilson51 Did this come anywhere near close to "the" infamous Sheffield visit to Costa?

"An instinctive, habitual reaction of self-criticism only intensifies this state..."

Your emotions aren't your parents' fault, your partner's fault, your friend's fault, or the world's fault. They aren't your fault, either, but they are your responsibility.

For lasting change to our emotional landscape, we have to be responsible & relinquish blame.

Science asks the right question 🥜! I'm not sure if this applies to half a jar per day, but still...

Now I want to know which is scientifically better: crispy or smooth.

Nice reminder to meet ourselves where we are at, and do our best from there 🧘‍♂️✨.

"Wake up every day and make the best of the day that you can. Some days, you may have a ton of energy and be very positive and productive. Other days, well, just getting out of bed may take all the energy can you muster. Do your best, no more than that..." ~Doe Zantamata

[Ricky Derisz @RDerisz]

@vishuddhadas This is an important reminder. Often people view spirituality as a "thing" some people choose to "do" when in reality, it's a state of complete "being."

You could argue the phrase "I'm a spiritual person" is coming from a place of ego-attachment!

Really enjoyed watching @rafikimovie at the Berlin screening last night. Delicate, moving, courageous. Nairobi is captured vividly. Will now check out @wanuri's back catalogue 👏

Understanding the nature of the Self is embracing duality: all of us are simultaneously insignificant and significantly significant ✨

Are #BlackFriday, #Brexit and Trump signs of an ego epidemic, where hypercapitalism is God?

A study finds @netflix's @13ReasonsWhy increased suicide risk in a "significant portion" of suicidal teens.

This is a stark reminder on #WorldTelevisionDay for storytellers to depict mental health responsibly. Glamorising depression or suicide is painfully irresponsible.

[Ricky Derisz @RDerisz]

The more I reflect on @BetterCallSaul S4, the more I believe it’s one of the most exquisite depictions of the psychology (and the heart) of relationships, grief, love, conflict.

Incredibly well written & acted. Is it fair to say criminally underrated, too?

[Ricky Derisz @RDerisz]

Do you want to learn how to wake up motivated when suffering low mood? Here are practical resources, plus insight from the brilliant @JonRottenberg.

The topic tackles rumination, behavioural avoidance, & ways to structure a morning ritual.

When depressed I craved "fine."

But this craving was filtered by my depressive state. Internalise this belief, and recovery stops at fine. But #depression CAN be a gateway to enhanced wellbeing. Not survival, but joy, abundance, purpose.

Don't stop at fine.
