Welcome to another "Articles I Love" segment, where I share some of my favorite studies and articles I've read over the years. There’s a lot of content and news out there and quite a bit is created to make you fearful or unproductively distracted or spend money on things that ultimately do not bring you closer to inner satisfaction or your highest goals. My goal here is to highlight writing and research that’s constructive, thoughtful, aims for the truth, and is designed to help us enjoy life, others, and meet the challenges we face in life more successfully.In this episode, we dive into an article that reminds us to own our actions and decisions in life in the face of pressure (Learn Not to Explain Yourself to Others and Win by John Kreiter) The main site/blogs: SoftnCentered.comInstagram: @softncenteredFacebook: @softncenteredTik Tok: @SoftncenteredNOTE: This is not meant to be in place of professional mental health help and I always encourage you to seek it in times of crisis or contact your local emergency services.

Glad to have you here! Take just a few minutes to listen to the short (but powerful) introduction to the podcast designed to build our internal skills (decision-making, and emotional intelligence/regulation, relaxation, learning and more) so we can design well-lived, satisfying lives for ourselves and help those around us.Visit the main site/blog: [email protected]

The internal work we do here has consequences for us personally and for all of humanity... promise I'm not even being dramatic! Listen to hear about the far-reaching effects building (or failing to build) these skills has for us all.The main site/blogs: SoftnCentered.comInstagram: @softncenteredFacebook: @softncenteredTik Tok: @Softncentered
