Feeling Down:

  • It's normal to feel down sometimes but doing little things will make you feel better.
  • Getting exercise, eating healthy, sleeping enough, and hanging with friends all give your mood a boost.
  • Thinking everything is awful when you're sad just drags you down further. Try to keep things in perspective.
  • Let painful emotions flow through you and naming them helps you process them.

Finding Motivation

  • Lack of motivation is not laziness, it's your brain conserving energy when your mood is low.
  • Start with small, simple goals and build momentum from there.
  • Connect tasks to things you care about, that internal drive is stronger than pressure.
  • Build routines and habits to reduce the effort needed for daily tasks.
  • Be kind to yourself. Beating yourself up drains motivation more.

Dealing with Tough Feelings

  • Painful emotions are not toxic or dangerous, they are human nature.
  • Allow yourself to feel, don't fight it. Those emotions gotta flow through.
  • Do self-soothing stuff like deep breathing, baths, walks to cope when emotions get intense.
  • Name those feelings and remember they'll pass.
  • Reach out to loved ones when you’re hurting. Human connection helps a lot.

On Grief

  • The “stages” aren't neat steps, just common experiences people often have when grieving.
  • Be patient with yourself. Healing takes time.
  • Let it out - cry, talk about them, do activities to help process the grief.
  • Cherish happy memories, let go of blame or anger.
  • Rebuild slowly - care for yourself, create new routines.

Battling Self-Doubt

  • We blow criticism way out of proportion in our heads. Think about how you'd advise a friend instead.
  • Mistakes don't define your worth. They're opportunities to improve.
  • Build confidence with small steps outside your comfort zone.
  • Develop self-acceptance - you're human, imperfect, and worthy of love as you are.
  • Surround yourself with people who appreciate the real you.

Coping with Fear

  • Accept fear as a normal human response, don't fight it.
  • Name specific fears and break big anxiety into smaller, manageable pieces.
  • Reframe fear as excitement - it helps you perform better.
  • Avoiding fears only strengthens them - face them gradually to build confidence.
  • Focusing on making life meaningful helps reduce fear of de*th.

Handling Stress

  • Stress gives you energy to tackle challenges but constant stress hurts your health.
  • Relax and recover after stress vs trying to eliminate it.
  • Manage stress with breathing, meditation, connecting with others.
  • Reframe stress as helpful fuel, set meaningful goals to stay motivated despite stress.
  • Mentally prepare for pressure situations - stress sharpens your game.

Creating Meaning

  • Just being happy isn't enough for a fulfilling life, we need meaning and purpose too.
  • Figure out your values then make choices and goals based on living them.
  • Focus on becoming who you wanna be, not just hitting goals.
  • Build close relationships and connect with others - isolation kills meaning.
  • Regularly reflect on what matters so you can adjust course if life pulls you off track.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
