Was my pleasure and just the first of many collaborations.

Fighting for something bigger than himself ❤️ #UFCLondon

If I had to feel motivated to start a workout I would have done 23 workouts last year, not 230. If I had to feel inspired to start writing there’d be hardly any writing. Want to stop 20 minutes in, fine. But give yourself a chance. On languishing, exhaustion, and showing up:

Where we care is where we hurt And where we hurt is where we care. 💛 They go hand in hand and can’t be separated Despite our best attempts it is impossible to separate them Accepting this allows us to treat our pain with dignity #Acceptance #ACT #pain #hurt #values #anxiety

you cannot problem solve your way out of feeling your emotions.

Learning how to feel our emotions fully, without surrendering our actions to them wholesale, is a life's work in and of itself. Mastering the art of thinking is great, but mastering the art of feeling is spun gold.

There’s no actual template for how life is supposed to look or go. There is no timeline. It’s easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to others and what society expects, but this “norm” doesn’t actually exist. It is socially constructed. Our lives can look however we want.

Great list to refer to. There is no magic formula so check in if certain rules,structures, frameworks are still helping and not hurting.

It’s almost expected in sport that your job is your life. When in fact work is just one of many aspect of a individual’s life. Structural changes needed to change the work culture in sport. More balance, better well-being, less burnout, better chance of optimal performance.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling. You don't. Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around. In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.

How about we normalize earning enough to make a sustainable income without killing yourself working 100 hours a week.

I see a lot written about "attachment styles" but so much of it is wrong! Some recent findings in the psychological literature that may surprise you: 1. There is no such thing as a secure attachment style! When we study adults we find it much more informative to talk about

Psychological principle: There is no perfect anything-- perfect mental health, perfect economic situation, perfect secure attachment, perfect life, perfect happiness, etc. To be human is to struggle and everything has trade-offs. You may think others have it better than you, but

I only wonder how individuals physical and mental health would improve if this concept was not a privilege in todays society….

"Depression is like a woman in black. If she turns up, don't shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, treat her like a guest and listen to what she wants to say." #CarlJung

Long vacations rarely cure burnout. They usually bring temporary relief. The frequency of time off from work matters more than the duration. 2 separate week-long vacations are more restorative than a 2-week trip. Regular breaks are vital to well-being. tedtalks.social/WLAdam

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt. Rollo May #commitment #doubt
