Addiction

There’s a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Learning to enjoy your own company doesn’t mean you stop needing other people. We all need connection, love, and support. It means realizing that being by yourself doesn’t have to be something you fear or immediately try to escape. Sometimes peace comes from discovering that you can sit with yourself, listen to what you’re feeling, and simply be okay in your own company.

How do you feel when you’re alone? Is solitude something you enjoy, or something you’re still learning to be comfortable with?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

As many of you know, I'm the co-founder of Hird, a company developing technology to help people better understand and improve their focus, stress, and mental effort at work.

One of the ways we want to make a difference is by sharing practical, science-backed knowledge that anyone can benefit from. That's why we're launching Hird Mental Fitness Week.

Every first week of the month, we'll be sharing a short video each day exploring practical strategies to help you improve your focus, manage stress, and support your mental wellbeing at work.

This month's theme is Returning Strong.

If you've just come back from your summer holiday and you're wondering why you're already feeling overwhelmed or mentally exhausted, today's video is for you.

Your brain hasn't forgotten how to work. It's simply switching gears.

I'd love to hear from you. What's the biggest challenge you face during your first week back after a vacation?

Sometimes, believing two things can be true at the same time is difficult. But this thought was really encouraging and challenges Black and White thinking.
I hope it's helpful to you today.
