How to Cope With Feelings of Isolation During the Holidays
(Abby Moore | Mind Body Green | 675 words)
The holidays are especially difficult for those with pandemic-related mental health challenges.
I know it’s hard for me – I haven’t seen my mother and sister in nearly a year.
To feel a bit better, make a plan of joyful ways to spend the holiday.
Adapt traditions for quarantine, or create new ones.
Spend time outdoors, or volunteer. Charity is a great way to boost your mood.
Video chat with family. It’s not the real thing, but it’s better than nothing.
Selective Ignorance: Cultivating Intentional Knowledge in a Chaotic World
(Anne-Laure Le Cunff | Ness Labs | 1350 words)
The unlimited knowledge is at our fingertips is both a blessing and a curse.
What knowledge we consume and how we consume it can make us miserable or be a distraction.
Cultivate selective ignorance by limiting information sources that don’t provide value or enjoyment.
How to Overcome Failure and Use it as Motivation
(DJ Jeffries | Addicted 2 Success | 925 words)
Everybody fails sometimes. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Failure is an opportunity to learn and come out of it stronger.
To do this:
- Understand what went wrong.
- Look to friends for advice.
- Listen to constructive feedback.
- Keep moving forward.
- Don’t be afraid of failure.
I always say: “If you failed but learned how to do better next time, you haven’t really failed.”
