I am a firm believer that when we write down our goals, we become more clear and motivated. When we SHARE our goals, we become more accountable. And the best part is that you'll get encouragement to stay on track! I do have a whole course on goal setting that will be up sometime, but for now, let's just start with some specific goals. I'd pick one to three goals from each of the pillars of MENTAL (movement, emotions, nutrition, time management, aspirations [you are here now], and lifeline [who's in your crew?]) - Make it small. Seriously. Make it something that you could sneeze and it would happen. - Make it specific: time, amount, detail, due date etc - Come back in a week and update with a new post! I am so excited to see what you guys are so capable of accomplishing. This also helps me to support the group better! Here we goal! (Yes. Yes I did that)

What tools and mindsets have helped you with time management? What have you tried that didn't work for you? I'd love to know so I can help in this area or learn some new tools too!

Research shows reframing stress as “energy” boosts performance. ⚡ Stress isn’t always a negative thing. Research from Stanford shows reframing stress as energy instead of danger boosts resilience and performance. Next time your heart races before a speech, tell yourself, ‘This is energy helping me perform.’ That simple reframe actually changes your body’s response to stress. How do you reframe stress? Have you ever used stress to your advantage?

Maybe!! Plants, olive oil, fish → fewer depressive symptoms. A Mediterranean-style pattern (veg, legumes, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, fish) consistently correlates with lower depression risk in meta-analyses, and trials like SMILES show clinically meaningful symptom drops when people receive food-based support. Dietitians love it for fiber, polyphenols, and healthy fats; nutritional psychiatrists highlight anti-inflammatory effects. Start by swapping one ultra-processed meal for a Mediterranean plate 3x/week and track mood for 4 weeks.
