Gratitude doesn’t start with a relationship, a vacation, a job, or money. It starts with your thinking and what you tell yourself daily.The best lessons we learn in life are the lessons we learn over and over again.The human mind needs lots of reminders — lots of practice — to operate effectively.For example, deep down we know it’s OK to…Yet, we often do the exact opposite when life gets stressful and we’re under pressure.We do the wrong things even when we know better.Because the human mind has weaknesses.

HOW TO LIVE A FULFILLING LIFEThere’s no shortage of advice on happiness and how to live a fulfilling life. But most of it lies at one of two extremes. You either focus on achieving external goals – like more money, vibrant health, and better relationships – or you focus on the internal goals like peace of mind, gratitude, and mindfulness, accepting whatever life throws your way.The truth is that both are important because everything you achieved in your external world once started in your internal world.

We all have been told that confidence is a key factor in achieving success and happiness in life. But what is it exactly?Confidence is the belief that you have the ability, skills, and qualities to handle any situation or challenge that comes your way.

While I love a hike, I wasn’t always this way. Hiking and the outdoors are relatively new interests that came about in my early 30s. Growing up in south Wales I was never very far from rolling hills, craggy coastlines and woodland walking tracks, but my teenage attention was more often directed towards less rural pursuits, like watching tele and eating crisps.TV and crisps probably sustained me for a lot longer than they should have, but as we all know, life doesn’t always stay so simple.

Virgin cocktails are no longer the sole option, as mocktail recipes have become increasingly sophisticated and flavorful.If you’re choosing to abstain from alcohol this autumn, consider trying one of the following Thanksgiving mocktails.Crafted by Kevin Quinn, director of F&B Focused Service, “For the Plot is the Tempo [by Hilton] brand take on a spirit-forward classic, made in the vein of an Old Fashioned or the Revolver. This drink was another opportunity to leverage the depth and flavor profile of Bluestone Lane’s robust cold brew coffee. While its origin comes from a classic experience, we wanted to create a modern experience with an interactive element. For that reason, we suggest you take a few sips and then enjoy an accompanying Werther’s candy along with the rest of the drink.

Let’s cut to the chase today. What you ultimately do comes out of who you believe you are. You have to practice believing in yourself and ignoring the naysayers.

Q: “As a teacher, how can I encourage my students to be supportive of their fellow classmates with ADHD? An inclusive classroom environment is my goal.”Students with ADHD thrive in a positive classroom environment, and peer interactions and relationships play a big role in shaping that learning experience.Teaching your students to be kind and supportive of their fellow classmates, including their peers with ADHD and learning differences, starts with you, the educator. A positive classroom environment is one where praise and encouragement are liberally doled out to students — and where commands, demands, and reprimands are used sparingly.[Sign Up for the ADHD Learning Series for Educators]Constantly correcting or negatively commenting on a student’s challenging ADHD-related behaviors only opens the door for other students to do the same.

“Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters.

Depression and anxiety disorders occur with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at significant rates. While figures vary across studies, it’s estimated that 18% of adults with ADHD also have major depressive disorder, and about half of adults with ADHD have anxiety.1 What explains these high comorbidity rates?Many factors may explain the overlap, and one of them I can’t stress enough: ADHD does not happen in a vacuum, and its effects are far more impairing when the condition goes undiagnosed, untreated, or improperly treated.Undiagnosed and/or untreated ADHD makes children, teens, and adults who are otherwise bright and competent feel severely inadequate.

The other night, when my girlfriend and I sat in the kitchen enjoying a cuppa tea, I got up mid-conversation to put away a pack of cat treats. “I’m still listening!” I shouted as I walked into the adjacent room.She kept talking, and I kept puttering around. I apologized afterward, as I felt I’d been a bit rude.

A good morning, and thus a good day, aren’t just experiences that magically happen — they are created consciously.Most of us are distracted from the get-go every morning. Trivial activities like checking social media, watching TV, and worrying about things we can’t control often set the tone of the day. And that means we waste our most well-rested time on things that don’t matter, while gradually losing touch with the significant, controllable parts of our lives that actually do matter.We simply forget that the morning hours are enormously important — they form the foundation from which the day is built.

When it comes to cultivating gratitude, many of us intuitively know that it feels good to reflect on what we’re grateful for and to share our appreciation with others. Research also shows that practicing gratitude significantly improves our health and happiness.

Although imposter syndrome is not an official psychiatric diagnosis, the impact is widely recognized by psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors who assist people who believe that they are imposters in their own lives.People with imposter syndrome are riddled with unfounded feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, incompetence, and shame. They wear a metaphorical mask and live in fear of being found out. Even as they grow weary of their need to be people pleasers and workaholics, and their compulsion to appear invincible, their mask is so tightly affixed that it blinds them to the fact that their thoughts are distorted and their brains have tricked them into believing that they lack skills, talents, and worth.

Too often people overestimate the significance of one big defining moment and underestimate the value of making good decisions and small steps of progress on a daily basis.You’re probably familiar with what’s known as the Serenity Prayer. It goes like this:God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.There’s an important lesson here — one that’s very often glossed over…When a chaotic reality is swirling around us, we often try to relieve our anxiety by exerting our will over external things we cannot control.It helps us stave off one of the most dreaded feelings: complete powerlessness.With that in mind, I have good news and bad news.The bad news is that generally speaking, almost everything is outside your control.

Q: “How can I help my teen, who has ADHD, make better decisions without overstepping or giving unwanted advice?”Part of parenting a teen successfully is shifting from being your child’s CEO to their board of advisors. It’s a difficult transition, especially when a teen’s prefrontal cortex lags in maturity due to ADHD, and they don’t always make the wisest decisions. But if your goal is to raise an adult who can think critically, solve their own problems, and live on their own successfully, the path to independence starts now.When you find yourself longing to tell your teen what to do, stop.
