We react to our interpretation of what happened - not what actually happened. Which means, we all have the capacity to change our interpretations. Changing how you interpret the situation you’re in could be one of the single most powerful things you do. 💪

In The Earned Life, I talk about how our families can program us at an early age, and how we sometimes adapt to those programmed thoughts and behaviors. Are you wondering what YOU can do to either break the cycle or maximize the benefits? Pre-Order here:gtly.to/AZVP4qliV !

Three powerful questions to ask yourself before speaking

You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can give them nothing.

Most of us use default behaviors that we hope can disguise our "negative" feelings so we won't have to face them.

It takes an awesome level of vulnerability to say what you truly feel. Children do it well because all they wanna do is express the love in their hearts. They have not been programmed to think it's only real if it's reciprocal. Love is not let's make a deal. Love just loves. 🌹🌹

So when I'm out of spoons, instead of just lying down I should say, "What can I think of doing today that would add spoons? Is there anything that adds a spoon or two?" ~Martha Beck, Bewildered, Ep. 15: Ten Thousand Spoons buff.ly/3bt2jGQ

You ≠ your job. You are more than your job. When we over-identify with work we're more likely to: - get stuck when things are going poorly. - struggle to see others' views. - turn away from other important values in our life. Instead of "I AM a ___." -> "I work as a ___."

If we want people to talk to us more, we should start by listening to them more.

In a full-page ad in today's The New York Times, @Thrive and SHRM have brought together over 80 companies to pledge to continue prioritizing their employees’ mental health and well-being through the challenging times that lie ahead. Take our #MentalHealthPledge: pledge.thriveglobal.com

Forced positivity is associated with lower levels of resilience, lower levels of wellbeing, and higher levels of depression and anxiety. It impacts our relationships and our ability to achieve our goals.

We don't "get over" grief. Instead, we learn to "walk with" grief. Grief changes us. It rewrites us. Yet, it doesn't define us.

Leaders often signal that people should "be positive" in difficult times. But smothering "negative" emotions backfires: it undermines wellbeing and creates toxic workplaces. Instead ask what you can learn from your team's concerns. Thriving is built on adaptation, not denial.

"The hard way is the fast way. Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it over the next time." – James Clear

"Leadership begins with your behavior". What’s more powerful? A manager or coach or teacher who tells you the right thing to do? Or one who shows you how to live and work by example? People gravitate toward the standard you set, not the standard you request." – James Clear

"The more time you spend complaining about what you deserve, the less time you have to focus on what you can create. Focus on what you can control." – James Clear
