☆ The Power of Your Exercise Mindset
  + stars: | 2023-10-14 | by ( Jenny Taitz | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
If exercise seems like a great idea but you can never keep up a routine, it’s worth considering your exercise “mindset”—defined by psychologists as core assumptions that shape our behavior and reality. While it’s long been known that mindsets can make a big difference in academic performance and navigating stress, evidence is mounting that targeting some of our most ingrained, habitual beliefs and replacing them with more adaptive ones can rev up our ability to keep ourselves healthy.
☆ The Positive Power of a Good Sigh
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Jenny Taitz | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The average person sighs about 12 times per hour, often as an involuntary reflex that we don’t even notice. When there is a feeling behind a sigh, it’s often not a happy one—think sighs of frustration or boredom. But research shows that sighing intentionally and consciously can change how we feel for the better, generating positive emotions and reducing stress.

Medications like Adderall are in high demand because they significantly improve deficits in executive functioning, providing help with time management, motivation and sustained focus. As a clinical psychologist, I have many clients who struggle with productivity even while taking medication or who need to discontinue stimulants due to pregnancy, side effects or supply-chain issues. Behavioral therapies require an investment of time and effort, but they can often work just as well as a prescription.
