"How do *you* want to BE in the world?”

[Kïrsten Blake @ChapterBe]

What happens when we focus on #connecting instead of #comparing and #competing? What if we stopped asking, "What do you do?" and started asking, "How do you want to BE in the world?"

@elonmusk is a huge proponent for free speech, yet @twitter has limited the distribution of @Substack links & cut Substack off from its API. Don't be fooled - it's not about free speech. It is 1000% about business.

The French labor code prohibits workers from eating lunch in the workplace.

The solo work lunch is also shunned in a culture that prizes a change of pace — and scenery — during the midday meal.

So what did it take for the French to finally take a break? https://t.co/rZ1UzYiZR8

I wish y’all would talk about community care as much as y’all talk about self-care. Bring the idea and term community care into our imaginations.

Wishing everyone less social media & more social in 2022. 💕

A community care practice: chill out on people. Relax more. Stop forcing things. Show empathy. Accept folks are going thru it right now. Be patient and do less. Take a breather.

@stuboo Resources to help ppl process what they are going through: local therapists, social workers, coaches, acupuncturists, reiki healers, massage therapists, etc. Don’t leave them to have to figure it out alone. If not in-house, then good recommendations.

Empathy and compassion are vital parts of being a leader. Thank you @TedLasso for the beautiful display of it this week. ❤️

Empathy is stronger than any rivalry. #TedLasso

3. The Law of Growth

Wherever u go there u are. It is we who must change & not the ppl or things around us if we want to grow spiritually.
All we are given is ourselves.That is the only thing we have control over
When we change who we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit

1/ The five-day workweek has been standard in the U.S. for almost a century. It's time to cut it down to four.

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal this is clearly a performative tweet meant for PR reasons, because you have yet to reply to my DM or address any of my specific questions directly. It is disappointing that you care so little about your customers.

@tapairportugal After THREE hours, I was told by a rep that I would not be getting a refund - when the flight was canceled due to a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. They would not allow me to talk to a supervisor or give me any information. I strongly advise against ever flying Air Portugal.

[Kïrsten Blake @ChapterBe]

@tapairportugal I have spent a year trying to get a refund for a flight that was canceled due to Covid. I have been on hold today for almost two hours just trying to get a representative. Emails are not answered. Yet your website says the refund has been approved. Please advise!

Study: 90 minutes of #hiking outdoors reduced activity in portions of the brain involved in rumination & worry. Plus, there was less activity in a portion of the brain involved in mental illness. Hiking is good for our #mentalhealth! #stressrelief https://t.co/IWDbPryrD9

5 questions to ask yourself at the end of each day:

— What was worthwhile?
— What did I let go of?
— What did I hold on to?
— What did I give?
— Who needs my forgiveness?

What am I missing?

PSA: If you've been performing a pre-pandemic version of yourself, STOP. You're doing yourself and others a disservice by perpetuating the myth that everything's okay and feeling otherwise is some how a moral failure.
