pickA deep dive into studies of how social media & phone use are affecting our kids. I appreciate the tangible changes suggested. Waiting until high school to give your kids a phone/ social media, banding together with other parents to create a like-minded community, & lobbying your school to keep phones completely out of schools, are all great ideas. But unstructured play, age-appropriate risks & responsibilities, & less parental hovering is key!
1. So far so good. I'm halfway through the day.
2. I follow some Facebook groups on mental health. I follow one person by newsletter/blogs. But she's been mostly selling her stuff the last year so I can't do that.
I'm about to walk into one of my happy places. 😊

pickBrilliant book about animal mental health. Brought me to tears with numerous examples of animal abuse and brought a smile on my face for the many anecdotes of love & empathy between animals and people.
A must read to understand how mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal tendencies, affect animal wellbeing, especially in captivity. An eye opener.
Another treasure discovered via Katherine May‘s newsletter. Musicians have submitted a petition to have Los Cedros Cloud Forest (which already has legally established personhood) recognized as a co-creator of their song. It features “frogs, birds, the slowed down echolocating frequencies of bats & vibrations from the mycorrhizal networks of a newly discovered fungus.”

pickSaw a lot of mixed reviews on this book. Nora is depressed and decides to take her own life but instead of dying she finds herself in what is called The Midnight Library we she can go back in life and try to live the lives she regretted not living before. I thought the story was very introspective and had a lot of good points to make you appreciate the life you have. Not my favorite but a decent read nonetheless.
pick“In a world where you can choose anger or empathy, always choose empathy,”
This was my first Abby Jimenez book, and it certainly won‘t be my last. Instantly she can do no wrong, and she‘s one of my favourite authors. Everything about this book was done perfectly.

Late to the game because Monday is busy.
1) Good-ish. Landed on a direction for my next Toastmasters speech, so that‘s always a mental load off. Got my taxes finished. I was unemployed almost the whole year so it didn‘t take long.
2) I think positive affirmations are good for people. In the US, at least, the culture seems to be so focused on the negative and tearing people down for anything they do. Positive affirmations can help buoy us.
