Writing builds resilience - a good reason to make daily writing a habit for 2026
Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.
Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Otrovert - the personality type of not joining, or not belonging, in a world where the importance of joining or belonging is taken as a given.
Read about the personality type known as the otrovert:
“Extroverts and introverts are inherently communal, while the otrovert is an outsider to the group. In itself, it is not a problem or condition, nor is it a diagnostic label.”

Psychologists have discovered a new personality type labelled ‘otrovert’
Most of us tend to categorise ourselves into either introvert or extrovert, but did you know there's now another personality type called 'otrovert'?
