Please correct, challenge or completely disagree: It’s boring to plod through life thinking the same way. It’s fun to see things from a different perspective, change your mind, be challenged, realise that you’ve been wrong for a while and need to shake things up. And its ok to feel uncomfortable while you process this stuff…
This is why: you are human! We need to connect with our species. And ALSO, feeling a sense of relatedness helps mitigate anxiety, according to the science.

The human capacity to set and pursue personal agendas is referred to by researchers using this term. (It’s got nothing to do with the cone in…
I’m just not getting it. Everyone, from the highest heads of states and global organisations, to our families are telling us to stay home. It is one cohesive instruction. And anybody with a bit of sense is LISTENING and doing just that – we are staying home unless we are essential to the basic needs…
