Not knowing what to do is as stressful as having too much to do.

515 studies, 787k people: Role ambiguity and role conflict are at least as detrimental to well-being and performance as role overload.

Setting clear, consistent expectations is a foundation of good leadership.

This is Afghanistan for children and young girls banned from education under Taliban rule.

The regulations state that the silence of a “virgin girl” may be interpreted as consent to marriage.

Human rights groups report that the price of a child bride ranges between $500 and $3,000.

According to Girls Not Brides, nearly one-third of Afghan girls are married before the age of 18.

Under the Taliban’s horrifying new rules, a female child legally married to an adult man may later seek an annulment “upon puberty”, but only if a Taliban court approves it.

Today is Day 6 of the #OpenSchoolDoor one-month campaign for Afghan women and girls.
please join and share🙏
Under Taliban rule, Afghan girls and women are not only banned from school — they are trapped in a devastating mental health emergency.
• 80% of suicide cases and attempts are among women and girls.
• Many set themselves on fire to escape forced marriage.
• UN Women: 68% of women know at least one girl/woman suffering severe depression or anxiety. 8% know someone who attempted suicide.
Child and forced marriages have surged — girls as young as 13-14 are married off to “reduce family burden.”
This is Taliban Sex apartheid: it kills dreams and takes lives.
Please share stand up with Afghan women🙏

Happiness is contagious.

A 20-year study of 4,739 people found that your happiness is shaped by the people around you and it spreads through social networks up to 3 degrees away.

→ If your friend is happy, you’re 15% more likely to be happy.

→ Even your friend’s friend can influence your wellbeing.

→ Happy people cluster together and create “happiness hubs.”

Your environment matters more than you think.

Surround yourself with people who uplift you
