What a privilege to be anxious about your children - many have none. What a privilege to be tired after a workout - many are bedridden. What a privilege to be busy running your business - many are unemployed.
Reframe everything that stresses you.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Just start.

Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to.

Just start.

Not only are we seeing more suicides, especially this past year, I’ve noticed an increase in serious mental health symptoms in clients. I’ve been seeing new clients having delusions and hallucinations more than ever.

At some point, you have to stop judging who you were and start honoring what you survived. You did the best you could with the awareness, tools, and capacity you had at the time. Growth doesn't come from regret. It comes from forgiveness.

Parents: the kindest thing you can do for your kids might feel like the hardest.

Dr. Daniel Amen says we’re accidentally raising mentally fragile children by rescuing them too often. When we rush forgotten homework or jackets to school, we quietly steal their chance to grow strong.

His rule:
• Forget lunch? Natural consequence.
• “I’m bored”? → “I wonder what you’ll come up with 😊” …and say nothing more.

Mental toughness isn’t built by comfort — it’s built by solving problems on their own. This 51-second clip changed how thousands of parents think. Will it change yours?

Yes! Decades of studies, summarized in meta-analyses, show that the quality of collaboration and trust between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of treatment outcomes, often more important than the specific therapy technique used. Most notably:

If you thought the Vioxx scandal was bad, wait until you hear what’s happening with anxiety meds.

Vioxx was a pain med that was marketed as “safe”... until it triggered heart attacks in over 100,000 people.

Guess what?

Those anxiety meds that are marketed as “safe” are quietly killing up to 12,000 people a year.

They don't actually treat anxiety—they just mask the symptoms while inflicting harmful side effects on the people that take them.

Break the cycle.

Here’s how you can address the root cause of your anxiety without reaching for dangerous pills.

SSRIs don’t “treat” depression. They hijack your brain.

Sure, you might not feel sad anymore—but you might not feel anything AT ALL.

Up to 60% of SSRI users describe their lives as colorless or even “zombie-like.”

The worst part? Many former SSRI users say that their personality never came back, even after quitting.

And that’s only the opening chapter of this SSRI horror story. You’ll be furious when you learn what these drugs do to unborn babies.

If you’re ever feeling depressed or low please consider the fact that spending hours a day reading the unhinged opinions of strangers is probably making the situation considerably worse and it’s time to step outside, take a long break, and reconnect with yourself
