Got challenges? Feel scared and stuck? Most people need a sense of psychological safety to move past their stuck points. You'll see how "The King's Speech" offers a great example in this paid-access video (links in the thread). #mentalhealth

I've freelanced from home for years. But I CANNOT stay in my abode every. Single. Day. I end up like Peter from Office Space, leaving for lunch at 9:30 a.m. I follow these 3 basic tips to get a change of scenery without too much tech and time risk. bit.ly/3QmuLPj #writer #writing

How much time do you spend every day intentionally directing your attention? Probably not enough. You can change that. Building on concepts from James Clear and Dr. Austin Perlmutter, this paid-access article argues that being "everyday deliberate" matters for brain health. Links in the thread.

🧵 People will brag about their knowing. But it's knowing plus doing that really matters. Don't focus on how much you're #learning. Focus on whether you can put what you learn into the way you and others live.

🧵 I've been at this #socialmedia game for *cough* a while now, trying to use different platforms to share my #writing and market myself. It can be beneficial if you're strategic about it. bit.ly/42XksbS

Your work. Your faith. They don't have to conflict. You just need resources that can build both your confidence and understanding of how to operate in a Godly way. #jesus #faith #christianity #work #business #jobs #job #career

Want to be #popular (or at least make a few #friends that don’t suck)? Asking for just a teeny bit of help might be a great way to break this ice, as I cover in this week’s Mind Uncensored newsletter. Link in the thread. #relationship #connect #connection

Ever relax physically (maybe when you finally get under the covers in bed?) only to turn into a teary, blubbering mess? That's biology helping your nervous system reset after experiencing stress. It's normal. This free, no-registration blog elaborates. Link in the thread. #mentalhealth

🧵 Maybe you’ve tried all the hacks (e.g., looking at your achievements) to beat your #impostersyndrome into submission. But according to neuropsychologist Britt Frank, you might be better off acknowledging the protective part of you that hunts patterns.

🧵 Attending events I didn't want to go to. Keeping my space the way others wanted. Even writing what would be more "acceptable." I did all that. But I learned the difference between necessary and desired #change.

🧵 For a long time, I tried to force words to the page, even when my mind was a mess. And wouldn't you know, when I stopped trying to force it, things clicked.

🧵 I'd bet money that most of the #emotionalintelligence training you've encountered is cognitive, focusing on elements like awareness. But none of that matters if your body is alarmed enough to shut down your ability to think. So, why aren't we discussing somatic practices within #EI? ?

🧵 Cursive penmanship is becoming a lost art such that the National Archives is calling for readers. If you have no idea why anybody'd fuss about it, read this week's free, no-registration TakingDictation blog. Link in the thread. #WritingThreads #WritingCommunity #Writer #Author #AuthorThreads

🧵 I used to do it all the time -- say I knew and then scamper off to look up what the hades another person had been talking about. I was just so scared of looking dumb. (You, too? It's a pretty universal fear.) I realize now that it's dumber to pretend I know when I don't.

What would your work be like if you completely lived out your Christian values? Would you feel more confident about your decisions? Be less stressed? Have better relationships?

I have a lot of #introvert traits. If you do, too, pay attention to this week’s Mind Uncensored — #introversion impacts not only the number of uplifting experiences you have, but also how much you get out of them. Link in the thread. #personality #joy #happiness #extrovert #ambivert

Have I paid for #writing classes, webinars, etc.? Sure. But in this video, I explain why beginning writers -- who typically have zero money anyway -- might benefit from waiting until later to fork out cash. Links in the thread. youtube.com/shorts/hPN-F...

The #brain makes associations and groups elements together. In this FREE (no registration required) blog, I consider how to apply that to handling micro-stressors. Struggling under the total weight of a lot of small things? Hit the link below. https://bit.ly/49Wp1VA #mentalhealth #stress
