Ask yourself who you want to be; then identify an action that will help you become that person.
For example, if you want to be a supportive friend, make the effort to schedule a phone call with someone you've lost touch with.

Hey managers: people can love a job without letting it take over their lives.
Detaching from work doesn’t reflect the absence of passion. It reveals the presence of other priorities.
Being plugged in 24/7 is a recipe for burnout. Setting boundaries is vital to well-being.

Sharing credit doesn't hurt your image. It makes you look good.
7 studies: people who trumpet their strengths and successes look capable but self-centered. If they add a shout-out to others, they project care along with competence.
Recognizing others serves you as well as them.

Self-acceptance shouldn’t stand in the way of self-improvement.
Self-acceptance is refusing to be ashamed of your weaknesses. Self-improvement is striving to overcome your weaknesses.
Recognizing that you’re good enough today doesn’t prevent you from getting better tomorrow.

You’ll miss out on countless opportunities if you spend all your time waiting to conquer your fear before taking a risk.
Be brave. You can do this. Move forward with courage in one hand and fear in the other.

A new reason to work out in the morning: it builds confidence to overcome obstacles.
On days when people exercise before work, they’re more engaged and less exhausted. They see tasks as challenges to conquer rather than threats to avoid.
Early wins boost energy and efficacy.

Other people's expectations are not your obligations.
Responsibilities are commitments you choose to make. Upholding them is a key to taking care of others.
Expectations are pressures others impose on you. Rejecting them is often necessary to take care of yourself.

A note to everyone posting jokes and memes about the Titanic submersible:
Making fun of other people’s plight demeans you along with them. Regardless of the cause, ridiculing tragedy should be beneath all of us.
Human suffering cries out for compassion, not schadenfreude.

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance.
Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance.
What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.

The next time you feel flooded with emotion, pause before you speak or act. Find that valuable space between stimulus and response and ask yourself: “Who do I want to be right now?”
Nick Bloy retweeted
Showing up is about willingly engaging with your emotional truth—whatever that may be—and believing in your ability to grow through that experience.

Honest account of vicarious trauma, What’s it like when your job involves wading through others’ suffering? I was left weeping and hopeless. @LawCareLtd provides training for legal professionals on this theguardian.com/science/2023…

The root of peace of mind is compassion. As soon as most of us are born our mothers take care of us and give us our first lessons in compassion. Without this we would not survive. This is how our life begins.

Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.
Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.
Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

What a refreshing conversation between Libby Coreno and @ExponentialNick "We can challenge bad behaviour if we know how." Training is crucial. Time for the law to tackle staple-throwers!

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.
Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.
Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.
Candor is an act of care.
Nick Bloy retweeted
“I don’t have time” is a poor excuse for treating people poorly. No one is too busy to be kind.
Managers who can't find a minute to be civil shouldn't be managing people. Making your team feel valued is core to the job.
It's always worth your time to show you care about others.

"That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it" is a self-limiting way to live. People who never let go of their views never evolve.
Growth is not just about embracing new ideas. It's also about rethinking old ones.
Refusing to change your mind is a decision to stop learning.
