You’re in. If Psychology Today would like some Positive Psychology blogs, I’d be interested in contributing. Good to connect.

🤔 We overestimate how much others notice our mistakes and flaws. Truth is, everyone's too focused on their own perceived shortcomings to spot yours.

Next time you're self-conscious, remember: You're the star of your movie, but an extra in everyone else's.

🧠 The 10-10-10 Rule for tough choices: How will your decision feel in 10 minutes? 10 days? 10 months?

Totally, the shoulds of socialising, the shoulds of work, family & general life - they’re energy sapping & ultimately mean you don’t show up as your true self.

I swapped 'I have to' with 'I choose to' this week, the impact - washing up means I come down to a clean kitchen in the morning, going to the gym feels better. Mad how a tiny mental shift turns ordinary moments into proper little “wins" #positivepsychology
