You ’re Thinking Too Much: 7 Ways to Combat Overthinking
Are you often overcome with distressing thoughts? There are many triggers that may cause overthinking. This experience usually leaves you feeling various emotions — but you're most likely to endure stress and worry. It's possible for overthinking to cloud your judgment, too. As a result, it's critical to learn how to stop. There are a few reasons for overthinking. You may overanalyze situations on a case-by-case basis, so it's less frequent. That happens to almost everyone. However, if your mind seems to fret over minuscule issues consistently, you could have generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This mental health cond...

Why I Didn ’t Want to Do the Dishes – The Relationship Between Laziness, Inefficiency and Complacency
I have always had a certain aversion for particular tasks growing up. One that sticks out most in my mind was washing the dishes. This was because growing up we didn’t have a dishwasher. There was a constant conflict between my parents and myself, arguing over when I would wash the dishes, and even now I can hear my mother saying, “Don’t you leave that plate in the sink without washing it.” I would always respond with “Mom, I’ll wash all my dishes later… at the end of the day, when I’ve got a larger pile.” She would then say, “Why are you so LAZY Diondra, it’s one plate, it’s easier to do it now....

From Feeling Good to Feeling Great
You may be aware that my books, Feeling Good and the Feeling Good Handbook, have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, and are still popular, even though Feeling Good was published 40 years ago.  One reason for the books enduring popularity is groundbreaking research conducted by Dr. Forrest Scogin and his colleagues at the University of Alabama School of Medicine.

Why Education Should Be a Lifelong Process
Many of us consider the end of our formal schooling to be the end of our education. We leave school, begin our professional careers, and shift our focus away from learning. But growth is a lifelong process, not limited to formal education. Our wisdom accumulates indirectly through life experience. The development of our wisdom can be expedited and expanded by concomitant gains in knowledge. We can make more of what we know, and better understand our experiences. If we wish to truly make the most of ourselves and maximize our potential, we should view learning as a lifelong process. It doesn’t matter whether that...

How to Boost Your Productivity with the Science of Well Being
Whenever I hear the word productivity, I often have mixed feelings about it. While I love the underlying sense of proactivity it brings to the table, a part of me feels the terminology is better suited for something unemotional like a machine.

However, as someone always looking to improve, I reached a point where this way of being wasn’t serving me anymore. Despite my high levels of productivity, I wasn’t able to unlock new perspectives, It’s as if I was lacking the “de...

How Cutting the Social Media Cord Saved My Mental Health
There's never been a better time to consider taking a social media cleanse. In the midst of a pandemic, social unrest, political debates, protests and a failing economy, hopping on social media can be incredibly depressing. Instead of providing an escape, Facebok, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms draw you deeper into the mess and can even pit you against friends and family.  Obviously, scrolling through your socials can take a huge toll on your mental health, especially right now. If you want to break free and begin focusing on the positives — yes, there is still good out there — it's time to cut the soci...

How Your Mindset Determines Your Focus
Most people consider the problem of focus to be a technical one. For them, it’s a matter of eliminating distractions, setting goals, following a schedule, or becoming more organized.

A DEAD END Many people, hoping to find focus, will implement these solutions only to realize that their focus remains weak. This is because the technical problems were never the source of the issue.
