Do you want change or do you want comfort? #mindfulmonday #mindfulness #mindset #resilience #changeovercomfort
REPOST from one of my professional heroes (and fellow @gratefuldead Deadhead) @amycuddy. Here’s how to move beyond pandemic flux syndrome.
Be someone's #MindfulMonday today.
Humans are social creatures with emotional needs for relationships and positive connections to others. Our social brain craves companionship. Stay connected to the people in your life that matter most.
This podcast interview got especially personal. I discussed my greatest fears, ways to change your brain for the better, and so much more. Thank you for having me @overcomingodds!
People often tell me that they feel guilty about being joyful, laughing, and looking for the good stuff when there is so much suffering in the world right now.
Finding joy does not mean you don’t care about what’s happening in the world. It gives you the strength to make it better. It means you recognize that to keep moving forward and to keep swimming toward your lighthouse, you must, first and foremost, keep yourself strong - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Just like building resilience, cultivating joy is a set of habits and skills that can be practiced so that we cannot only make it through hard times, but become stronger as a result.
You are full of strengths, accomplishments, and goodness. You are strong and capable of handling anything that is thrown your way. You have, can, and will continue to make a difference. #resilience #joy #strength #community #gratitude #mindfulness
