Ask yourself who you want to be; then identify an action that will help you become that person.

For example, if you want to be a supportive friend, make the effort to schedule a phone call with someone you've lost touch with.

@AvantiWestCoast Cheers Shak. These things happen. Appreciate the gesture.

[Nick Bloy @ExponentialNick]

@AvantiWestCoast not been your best day… 45mins late to Manchester from London this morning, which made me late for an important meeting and then was about to enjoy a decaf coffee on my journey home only for your carriage door to violently close and knock it out of my hand.

Would love to know what the security reasons are and why I was never informed that my account had been disabled or why. Is that how you treat loyal customers?

[Nick Bloy @ExponentialNick]

@bookingcom any chance someone can explain why you’ve disabled my account? I’ve asked repeatedly to speak to someone about it, but the only response I get is ‘call this number’ that requires a booking reference. I don’t have a booking reference my account is disabled!!!

Hey managers: people can love a job without letting it take over their lives.

Detaching from work doesn’t reflect the absence of passion. It reveals the presence of other priorities.

Being plugged in 24/7 is a recipe for burnout. Setting boundaries is vital to well-being.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Sharing credit doesn't hurt your image. It makes you look good.

7 studies: people who trumpet their strengths and successes look capable but self-centered. If they add a shout-out to others, they project care along with competence.

Recognizing others serves you as well as them.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Self-acceptance shouldn’t stand in the way of self-improvement.

Self-acceptance is refusing to be ashamed of your weaknesses. Self-improvement is striving to overcome your weaknesses.

Recognizing that you’re good enough today doesn’t prevent you from getting better tomorrow.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

You’ll miss out on countless opportunities if you spend all your time waiting to conquer your fear before taking a risk.

Be brave. You can do this. Move forward with courage in one hand and fear in the other.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A new reason to work out in the morning: it builds confidence to overcome obstacles.

On days when people exercise before work, they’re more engaged and less exhausted. They see tasks as challenges to conquer rather than threats to avoid.

Early wins boost energy and efficacy.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Other people's expectations are not your obligations.

Responsibilities are commitments you choose to make. Upholding them is a key to taking care of others.

Expectations are pressures others impose on you. Rejecting them is often necessary to take care of yourself.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A note to everyone posting jokes and memes about the Titanic submersible:

Making fun of other people’s plight demeans you along with them. Regardless of the cause, ridiculing tragedy should be beneath all of us.

Human suffering cries out for compassion, not schadenfreude.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance.

Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance.

What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.

[Nick Bloy @ExponentialNick]

@lucindasoons Perhaps not directly. But given employers do have to duty to mitigate stress, and being bullied is stressful… ?

[Nick Bloy @ExponentialNick]

@richardscollier @SLSA_UK @NCLLawSchool Fantastic, well deserved Richard.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

The next time you feel flooded with emotion, pause before you speak or act. Find that valuable space between stimulus and response and ask yourself: “Who do I want to be right now?”

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

Showing up is about willingly engaging with your emotional truth—whatever that may be—and believing in your ability to grow through that experience.

[Elizabeth Rimmer @elizrimmer]

Honest account of vicarious trauma, What’s it like when your job involves wading through others’ suffering? I was left weeping and hopeless. ⁦@LawCareLtd⁩ provides training for legal professionals on this https://t.co/7DeONYF8VS

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The root of peace of mind is compassion. As soon as most of us are born our mothers take care of us and give us our first lessons in compassion. Without this we would not survive. This is how our life begins.

[Nick Bloy @ExponentialNick]

Acts of kindness rock. Just waiting at London Bridge and a train was about to depart, doors closed, and a lady just narrowly missed getting on. Fear not, a kind station guard held open one of the doors to let her on. #kindness #RandomActsOfKindness #wellbeing
