MIND newsletter: The hat of hopes
In a week when the world is shattered by hatred and war, it can feel like there is no hope.
In a world where negative news is pervasive, we may find ourselves wanting to disconnect and withdraw from it all.

If you find a moment this weekend, seize the opportunity to watch it, as it currently offers free access for a limited time.

He shared that the association's membership card in his wallet loudly reminds him every day that, for him to deserve the right to make a seemingly 'selfish' choice to...
Happy Saturday everyone! ;) Though the action is felt to be free, is it free? - Steiner - As you flip through various self-help books, you'll often come across advice that suggests your emotional state, whether happy, sad, or disappointed, is entirely your choice, and that only you can change it. There's a quote that goes something like, "If someone offers you poison, you can choose whether to drink it or not." This got me thinking about how free we actually are. In one of the previous...
Happy Saturday everyone! ;) 1. M (Challenge your mindset) It was how a client of mine explained her feelings about self-identity: the gambling of stone. If you're not familiar with the term, as I was the first time I heard it, it refers to an old practice of trading rough jadeite in China. Gamblers like to buy uncut jadeite in hopes that it's worth more than what they paid. The key here is that the outer layer of some jadeite stones is so weathered that it's impossible to judge the quality...
