Being highly self-critical is bad for your health. When we're at war w/ ourselves or parts of ourselves, our threat detection system is in a constant state of activation, which leads to increased stress levels, which are linked to a range of negative health outcomes.
Thriving in mid-life isn't necessarily about changing your life circumstances. It's about connecting with inner qualities you may have lost touch with. Here's how to get started. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-we…
You’re not just one thing. 🌟 In ACT, we challenge the myth of the 'Big I'—the global identity we cling to. You’re a mix of unique, intricate little 'i's. 💡 When that inner critic speaks up, remind yourself: You’re so much more. #ACT #Mindfulness #AcceptanceAndCommitmentTherapy
Willingness doesn’t mean liking it. It means saying yes to discomfort when it’s in service of something that matters.
Stress and self-criticism don’t define you. 🌪️ Slow down, be mindful, and show yourself kindness. Self-compassion is a game-changer for navigating life’s challenges. 🌟 #Mindfulness #SelfCare #StressRelief #MentalHealth #Compassion

Great to speak with Emma Waddington and Chris McCurry about #purpose on the Life’s Dirty Little Secrets podcast. lifesdirtylittlesecretspodcast.com/episodes/secre…
Closure is a myth. Grief doesn't evaporate—it waxes and wanes. The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time. Moving forward after loss is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.
