🤔 We overestimate how much others notice our mistakes and flaws. Truth is, everyone's too focused on their own perceived shortcomings to spot yours.

Next time you're self-conscious, remember: You're the star of your movie, but an extra in everyone else's.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🧠 The 10-10-10 Rule for tough choices: How will your decision feel in 10 minutes? 10 days? 10 months?

This mental time travel cuts through emotional noise and reveals what really matters.

Which choices look different through these three lenses?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@soul-phoenix.bsky.social would you like to join the #PositivePsychology starter pack?

I swapped 'I have to' with 'I choose to' this week, the impact - washing up means I come down to a clean kitchen in the morning, going to the gym feels better. Mad how a tiny mental shift turns ordinary moments into proper little “wins"​​​​​ #positivepsychology

Reflections on Parenting, Identity, and Unconditional Love
You know that moment during pregnancy when everyone asks, "Is it a boy or a girl?" I answered: "It's a baby!" I'd say it with a smile, and people would laugh, thinking I was being clever.

@skypacks.bsky.social here’s one I made earlier for positive psychology - a small yet mighty community go.bsky.app/95BSsMD

This is why @bsky.app is fab -
It’s rather lovely how it feels like Twitter did ages ago, but without all the faff. Brilliant seeing genuine communities taking shape here, actual conversations happening without the drama. Good to be building something meaningful together, isn't it? ✨

This is so gorgeous- my son, a recently qualified paramedic who works in London, is up to see me for a couple of days. We went to the goat farm for his ‘fix’ - all is now well & he returns, restored, with a full heart #selfcare #goats #reset #positivepsychology

We’ve been called bookends before! Today at #derbygrad we lived up to our name, both wearing suits from #TuClothing. We’ve been interpreting graduations for over 30 years, we’ve just about got the hang of it now! @derbyuni

I’m migrating from the other space. I talk about positive psychology, walks with my Labrador & going to my local goat farm.
