A better life is possible - but only if you dive deep into your unconscious
A better life is possible - but only if you dive deep into your unconscious
We are used to skimming the surface of our emotions, distracting ourselves with endless doing. To discover what we really need, we must move beyond the shallows

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:
Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

Looking forward to reading these. The prevalence of cognitive impairment in CKD cannot be understated; services need to be able to understand and screen for this in-house, whilst working alongside both our patients and our cross-speciality colleagues to optimise continued care.

Really thought-provoking article on the impacts and costs of reaching for "pleasant"/"positive"/"comfortable" emotions.
Great to see links to acceptance- and value-oriented therapeutic approaches (like ACT) acknowledged, too
