We've got a youth mental health epidemic. Part of the reason? Without being aware of it, adults are training kids to have hypersensitive threat alarms, without the tools or resources to handle any sort of challenge. The consequences are dire: thegrowtheq.com/stop-hovering-…

Everyone who cares about health, performance, and longevity should be required to read this piece from @sweatscience. There is an entire industry selling you quick fixes and the illusion of control. Be careful and try to focus on what actually matters. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

An absolute master class by @BStulberg in ‘change’ and how we navigate a world where everything is changing including us. Love the analogy of a path (versus a road) and the concept of ‘rugged flexibility’ - being tough and durable but are open to new possibilities 🌱🌳🌄🦋

"Do your job. Sweat the details. Put the team first. Be attentive. Ignore the noise. Speak for yourself." A Tiny Thought in the @farnamstreet newsletter fs.blog/brain-food/sep…

Very honoured @CollectivED1 - looking forward to it ☀️🌱🌳

A wonderful opportunity to grow and develop with the @TeacherDevTrust 🌱🌿🌳

“Suspend judgment, be curious about the larger context, and stay open to seeing the whole person.” —Robin Steinberg A compelling read with implications well beyond the courtroom …

@edbatista A wonderful story - best of luck Ed, Amy, Buster and the lovely newcomer! 🐕🐕🐾

The Great Pyr had to be sheared at the groomers because his coat was so matted from living rough. He looks a lot more streamlined, but he's still HUGE. And yet so incredibly chill. Dogs, man. Tomorrow, he and Buster meet again! Wish us luck. 9/

A very animal-intensive day. 3 cows have been breaking in the sheep pasture, and this morning Amy discovered that they broke out of the sheep pasture into the yard. Good morning, ladies! They went back into the sheep pasture, and we herded 1 back into the cattle pasture. 1/

"If someone admits they made a mistake, have the grace to let it go. Holding it over them ensures they won’t be quick to admit they were wrong in the future. Outcome over ego." A tiny thought in @farnamstreet's weekly fs.blog/brain-food/may…

@debrakidd I keep going back to this at the end of the book: “But I know that this writing is not going to be widely read. What is its contribution? In its embodiment in my (and your) future actions and practices, it is a carrier.” It’s so critical that we continue planting seeds 🌱🌱🌱

Reread Becoming Mobius, a truly excellent book by @debrakidd this week - a timely reminder of the importance of improvisation, optimism and becomings: “Hope is always in the process of becoming.”

Consistency over intensity:

A tiny thought from our newsletter: "Action creates progress. Progress creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation."

When goal setting, think less about the outcome and more about the process: “Reaching the peak of a mountain is thrilling, but 99.9999 percent of the journey is spent on the sides, doing the actual climbing.” —@BStulberg #2023goals thegrowtheq.com/three-evidence…

27 principles for getting on, and staying on, the path to mastery and sustainable excellence in 2023

“To travel is better than to arrive.” —Robert Pirsig

The longer your in this game called life, the more you understand that people are people. Doesn't matter age, experience or expertise. It's why you can read Montaigne from 500 years ago or Seneca from 2k years ago, and they're debating the same human issues that we are today.

@BStulberg Thanks Brad - that’s a wonderful illustration!

Heading into a new year is a great time to take stock of where you've been and where you want to go. Here's why this can be a powerful time of year and 3 core principles to think about setting the right goals and resolutions:

@shaneparrish My favourite book in 2022 was @stevemagness‘s Doing Hard Things. Biggest lesson: Inner World > Outer World i.e. focus on enacting core values
