Well-being (or flourishing) is not simply the absence of ill-being or mental illness, just as good health is not merely the absence of disease. It’s something we actively cultivate. In today’s world, it’s easy to assume that once stress decreases or problems are solved, well-being will naturally follow. But research tells us something different: flourishing doesn’t happen by default. It happens through intentional practices that strengthen how we think, interpret experiences,

During challenging times, globally and here at home, it can feel selfish to focus on yourself when so much is going wrong. But the truth is, staying grounded is not a luxury; it’s a responsibility. That’s why the airplane instruction matters so much: put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. It’s not because you matter more than anyone else. It’s because you are no help to anyone if you can’t breathe. When the world feels unstable, many of us go into overdrive,

The transition from one year to the next creates a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and set intentions with greater clarity. While New Year’s resolutions often lose momentum within weeks, research consistently shows that structured recording of thoughts can meaningfully improve goal achievement, self-awareness, and overall life satisfaction. Studies indicate that individuals who engage in reflective writing are 42% more likely to achieve their goals and report 23% high

I used to be part of the 92% who didn’t follow through on their goals—until I learned what actually works. Hope is not a strategy, but design is. Most people don’t fail at their goals because they lack motivation—they fail because they lack a system. If good intentions alone created results, most goals wouldn’t quietly disappear by February. Research consistently shows that one of the most effective ways to close the gap between intention and outcome is to use structured, evi

Most people don’t fail because their goals are too big. They fail because their system for execution is too weak. Ambition is easy. Follow-through is where things fall apart. If you’ve ever set a goal with the best intentions—only to watch momentum fade by Week 3- you’re not alone. Human behavior is predictable: we drift without clarity, we overestimate willpower, and we underestimate the power of consistent, measurable action. That’s why Franklin Covey's Four Disciplines of

Research consistently shows that one of the most effective ways to close the gap between intention and outcome is to use structured, evidence-based methods. One of the most well-known approaches draws from Harvard’s work on effective goal setting, often referred to as the “Harvard goal-setting technique. The   “Harvard goal-setting technique”  isn’t a single method at all, but a practical, proven 3-part framework that blends the precision of SMART goals with the power of writ

Regret has a way of sitting quietly in the corner—unspoken, ignored, and underestimated—until you finally look up and realize it’s been shaping your choices more than anything else. Most people treat the fear of regret the way they treat the “elephant in the room”: pretend it isn’t there, work around it, and hope it doesn’t step on anything important. But here’s the truth: regret isn’t dangerous. Avoiding it is. When fear of regret is left in the shadows, it creates resistanc

Willpower is like a booster rocket — it’ll get you off the ground, but you’ll need something more sustainable to reach the moon. Most people think success depends on having more willpower. More discipline. More grind. But neuroscience tells a different story: willpower is a finite resource, and once it’s depleted, even the most driven people hit a wall. So, what exactly is willpower fatigue — and how do you move beyond it? What Is Willpower? At its core, willpower is when you
