Stop comparing yourself to other peoples’ perfect plans and perfect pictures and perfect workouts. Ninety-nine percent of that stuff is performative and fake. The road to genuine excellence and well-being is windy and messy and often boring. This is just how it goes. Embrace it.

Parents: most important thing is car ride home. Winning is a real thing. Losing is too. So is celebrating success and realizing areas for improvement. But most important is showing love regardless and reminding your kid their performance IS transient and is NOT their identity.

With COVID-19 fueling an already bad social isolation and belonging problem, I fear "metaverse" technologies will ride the momentum and make things much worse. Nothing replaces feeling someone's hand. The energy in a room. Lifting weights off the ground. Running on a trail.

It's time for the world to quit protecting the egos and careers of men above the bodies souls and lives of women. @NWSL

ATTN Parents: I get asked this ALL THE TIME. I was a multi sport athlete until college, extremely low mileage. Don’t be afraid to say no to practices 5x a week, to all those camps and tournaments. Let your kids be kids and play lots of things. Plenty of time to specialize later!

What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth: -more multisport than specialized practice -started their main sport later -accumulated less practice -Initially progressed slower than national class peers

A Netflix binge is a temporary escape from languishing, not a cure. Passive engagement in a fictional world doesn't offer a lasting sense of meaning, mastery, or mattering. Flourishing depends on active participation in the real world: creating, connecting, and contributing.

Non-dual thinking is the ability to hold competing ideas at the same time. It is rare and important. Some examples: Art AND science Hard work AND rest. Self-discipline AND self-compassion. Solitude AND community. Mind AND body. Happiness AND sadness. Strength AND flexibility.

Joe Biden, a boy who was bullied because he couldn't speak, whose life was upended by such trauma and loss, who suffered despair that took him to the brink of suicide, is now president-elect of the United States. Wow. Just wow. Those out there struggling: be patient, keep going.

Trump 2016: The election was rigged by millions of illegals casting votes Trump 2020: The election was rigged by millions of legals casting votes

They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country!

Runner Lauren Fleshman says her career likely suffered thanks to a fixation on weight. Now she's coaching an all-female running team to make sure others dont suffer the same fate. nyti.ms/3lRsgTL

Dear coaches of the sports: thanks for all you do. Please, please stop calling those running drills “suicides.” It silently pains at least one player on your team every time, guaranteed. Thank you.

Hi! Physical health isn’t just for the physically ill - and mental health isn’t just for the mentally ill. We all have bodies and minds, and we all have to care for them. #WorldMentalHealthDay Take care of you, please.

A mark of emotional intelligence: treating unpleasant feelings not as unwelcome intrusions but as teachable moments. Regret is a seminar on making wiser choices. Guilt is a class on doing the right thing. Boredom is a course on finding flow. Anxiety is a tutorial on preparation.
