Teach from what you’ve lived and practiced. Lead by the strength of your example, not by the force of command.

As a leader, don’t just give answers. Ask the right questions, pause, and listen. That’s where true growth happens. Also me: Googles answers before anyone asks.

The Law of Psychological Distance - "as time passes, events become psychologically distant. This distance leads to a decrease in the emotional intensity connected to those events."

Trust your Grandma's wisdom. "Grandma Widsom" is often validated by research. For example, Grandma says, "Time heals all things." This is the same as the Law of Psychological Distance... (continued)

Meditate like a sculptor; every breath carves away the extra weight.

I was wondering why the ball was getting bigger and bigger… then it hit me.

Decide. Not doubt.

4. Reduced Cognitive Decline: Long-term meditation practice may slow age-related brain atrophy, preserving cognitive abilities and potentially protecting against neurodegenerative diseases.

3. Heightened Attention and Focus: Meditation alters brain waves, increasing alpha, theta, and sometimes gamma waves, which support relaxation, creativity, and cognitive processing.

2. Improved Emotional Regulation: Connections between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala (the brain’s “emotion center”) strengthen, reducing stress responses and building resilience against anxiety (PubMed, 2024).

1. Increased Gray Matter: Meditation enhances gray matter density in areas linked to self-awareness and empathy, particularly the prefrontal cortex, helping with focus and emotional regulation (NeuroLaunch, 2024).

Recent neuroscience research shows meditation profoundly benefits brain structure and function. Key findings include: 🧵

This will blow your mind if you're bored. You're not bored with the world or your environment. You're bored with _yourself_.

Forget safe spaces; the world needs brave spaces—where courage is cultivated, not just comfort.

10. It’s about thriving, not just surviving: Ungar focuses on the idea that, with the right support, resilience isn’t just about getting through tough times—it’s about growing and thriving afterward.

9. It takes a team: Building resilience often takes the help of multiple parts of your life—family, friends, work, and schools all working together to support you.

8. What works in one place may not work everywhere: Different cultures have different ways of supporting resilience. What works for someone in one culture may not be as helpful in another.

7. Fairness matters: People can’t be resilient in unfair systems. For someone to bounce back from challenges, they need to feel like they’re being treated fairly and have access to the same opportunities as others.

6. Little things add up: Small actions—like someone checking in on you, or your boss acknowledging your hard work—might seem minor, but they can build up your resilience over time.
