Terrifying in the context of any life domain ( personal, relational, professional, biological, emotional, financial, etc.) think about a time
You were brave, what was the context?

Complete curiosity, no judgement. For those who find eye contact uncomfortable, why do you think it feels that way? ( rational, irrational reasons)

I often see many posts on lack of energy, concentration, etc. I am going to share what has worked for me. Productivity starts with perception. What do I consider a productive behavior, what is my expectation of productivity and is it realistic? Discipline, positive self-talk, and consistency is part two. Our phones are the biggest robbers of productivity. It distracts, dopes us with dopamine, and information overloading leading to mental fatigue/anxiety/depression. Our brains were not designed to manage the amount of information that our phones contain and like a drug we get defensive and reactive over them. Lastly, changing the dialogue from " I have to" to " I get to" for tasks. Reflection daily is key to reach our goals: " what went well today and why did it go well?"

As a millennial female, I feel communication, financial literacy, and problem-solving were present in school and home environment. I am curious what other generations experienced/perception?

Social as in motivated to
Hang out with others, make new connections, and build existing friendships?

I like to learn about the brain, the power of perspective, human connection, the impact of different societal influences, etc... If anyone has any recommendations on podcasts, I appreciate any feedback.

I am interested in our experiences and perceptions around connection. Ever been in a grocery store, at the gym/event, waiting somewhere and connect wth a unexpected stranger? Possibly a quick conversation that left a internal impact? Love to hear any experiences/answers :)

Hello! we are searching for kittens in the Finger Lakes (near Geneva) and are hoping to find a long haired male kitten (if maine coon mix, bonus points). Aside from county shelters/SPCA's, does anyone have tips on local kitties needing to be rehomed, unwanted barn cats, etc?? Any insight is appreciated!!

I am looking for a more creative way to say "trigger" or "triggering" that makes sense. My grad program used "cat hair" (meh) and AI is lame. I thought as a community we could do better. suggestions?

Regardless of your caregiver situation, the adults present in your life... how was accountability shown? Have your experiences been more praised or punishment based?

You know the over and over again circular problem solving?

We all (as in humans) have a mind monster, which statement can you relate to most?

What qualities may look different in a leadership role with regards to decision making, communication,relationships, etc.) for someone 10+ service experience vs. civilian?

In 2008 the "like" button was publically introduced on SM ( after years of protesting against because of psychological concerns/effects). Even though we experience it then/now, I have much gratitude that the start of our SM experience was more about sharing and inclusion than comparison, anxiety, and competition. ( there is a lot of research on this ) Anyone else?

Your about to do something challenging, the negative statements we know, what about the positive ones?

Many of my clients are craving connection, chronic illness, etc. I have probably 6 clients ( two groups of 3) with similar diagnosis/presenting problems but completely different skills strengths, and experiences. I feel some could really be a resource to each other. has anyone else had this experience?

I am curious in learning what skills others need/ what their environment did not provide.Just to name a few below...

Human skills: Communication, boundaries, emotion regulation, etc.

Not sure about others, but my environment certainly did not teach me to identify a feeling before deciding how to react to it.

The topic maybe work related, passion, experience hobby.. something that feels easy for you to talk about? I feel our diversity of interests is a beautiful thing and curious what others are?
