"People who are mentally tough stay mentally tough because they don't slip easily into shame or self-criticism or self-loathing." Instead of rushing to recover from a tough situation, give yourself time to feel your emotions, psychologist Cortney Warren wrote for CNBC Make It last year. "A key component of resilience is emotional flexibility, or the ability to regulate your feelings and reduce their intensity in a given situation," wrote Warren. 'No'Imagine this: You're dealing with your jam-packed work schedule when a colleague asks you to help them finish an assignment. Don't feel guilty for putting yourself first and saying no, according to psychologist Jessica Jackson.

Almost one-third, 30%, of Americans say they have experienced feelings of loneliness once a week during the last year, according to a January 2024 poll by the American Psychiatric Association. In a recent conversation, professor and researcher Brené Brown and Belgium American psychotherapist Esther Perel identified a possible culprit for these feelings of isolation: social media. "When I went off social media for a year, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me," says Brown, who hosts the podcast "Unlocking Us." Being off Instagram and Twitter made her better able to invest in real life conversations. "If we believe that time and energy and focus are finite, when you live in that world online something is going to give in your real life," Brown says.

☆ I was trapped in a cycle of losing and gaining weight, despite training to be a nutritionist. Here's how I broke free from diet culture.

So I set about trying to diet and I suppose it was a bit of a control thing. AdvertisementI just did diet after diet and the mad thing is that I never really had weight to lose in the first place. AdvertisementA nutrition degree didn't stop me from doing fad dietsWhen I was 22, I was so obsessed with nutrition that I decided to go and do a degree in it. I could write a meal plan for someone to lose weight, but I now know it's never about being told. It really got me into thinking there's got to be a better way to either sustainably lose weight and keep it off or get out of that mindset that you even need to lose weight in the first place.

☆ This common two-word phrase is the 'worst thing' a parent can tell a child, says education expert
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Every small child gets anxious sometimes. But when your kid is panicking, there's a common two-word phrase you should never utter: Calm down. That's according to Rachel Romer, CEO and co-founder of education assistance benefits company Guild, who's a mom to two children. Saying "calm down" doesn't validate the child's emotions or help them understand their feelings, and can even unintentionally come across as dismissive, they said. The trio recommended two exercises to help children better manage their heightened emotions.

☆ Oversharing at work can backfire — here's how to be vulnerable with your team without making people uncomfortable or seeming fake
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( Melody Wilding | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

The best way to be vulnerable is to share without relying on others to respond in any certain way. Many leaders say they embrace vulnerability because it allows them to connect with colleagues and team members on a deeper level. Vulnerability scripts attempt to "hotwire" connectionInterpersonal connections aren't made overnight, and that's why a vulnerability script doesn't usually have the intended effect. A vulnerability script has one hallmark quality: people don't buy it. Instead of trying to force listeners to play along with a vulnerability script, you're presenting an authentic (and yet not unfiltered) side of yourself.

☆ Harvard expert on the worst thing about New Year’s resolutions—and how to beat it: ‘A profound loss of energy’

In Lahey's eyes, the worst thing about New Year's resolutions isn't the fact that we "fail" to fulfill them. "It's like people drink the Kool-Aid, [and think] 'If I really intend to make this goal happen, and I can't, I'm a loser. "I think it's just a profound loss of human energy." "But the thing that really got her attention was [when] she said 'I consistently say 'yes' to the one-off [meetings]," Lahey added, which was contributing to Brown's sense that meetings were a waste of time. Unlearning our assumptionsLahey says that when she walks people through their own "Immunity to Change" roadmap, the final column is "almost always" unrelated to the column one, much like Brown's.

☆ 'Uncreative people' can use this simple tip to easily brainstorm new ideas, Adam Grant and Brené Brown say

Just ask organizational psychologist Adam Grant and leadership researcher Brené Brown. "I grew up thinking I was completely uncreative," Grant said. "All of a sudden, it was 'conform, conform, conform,' which aligns with the research we see on shame and creativity in kids happening ... in middle school. For middle school girls especially, the so-called "confidence drop" can be precipitous: Research shows girls' confidence levels drop by 30 percent between the ages of 8 and 14. Brown and Grant got out of their respective creativity ruts by using the same tactic, they said: looking for patterns around them.
