#MentalHealthMonday

"Countering #AI #agency #decay [is about] cultivating a balanced and intentional #relationship with it. A helpful framework...is the "Four A's" of responsible AI integration: #Awareness, #Appreciation, #Acceptance, & #Accountability."
#ArtificialIntelligence #MentalHealthMonday
Over-reliance on AI may impair critical thinking skills. Here are 4 keys to maintaining the indispensable value of human judgment and autonomy in the age of artificial intelligence. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"Envision your ideal future self. What are the qualities you want to embody? What do you wish to feel? What do you hope to accomplish? Let this guide you in deciding how to utilize the new time and energy you will enjoy once you’ve released them."
#LettingGo #MentalHealthMonday
Letting go means releasing aspects of our lives—such as a relationship, job, living situation, thought pattern, or habit—that aren’t working for us. Here's why it can be so hard, and how to do it anyway. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"[Cognitive#] decline occurs in part due to lack of physical# fitness#; specifically, heart# health#. Putting this simply, the brain# needs blood#, and without it, brain cells die. The job of the heart is to provide that blood."
#PhysicalFitness #MentalHealthMonday
A lot of people worry about losing their memory and cognitive abilities as they get older. But a small investment of time and energy now could have a major payoff in terms of health and well-being over the long run, explains @swhitbo psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"[J]udgment after #midnight can lead to #impulsive actions and unregulated, #unsafe #behaviors. The appeal of dangerous ideas could lead to the use of #addictive #drugs, #drinking heavily, craving and eating unhealthy foods, or perpetrating ... #violence."
#MentalHealthMonday
The "mind after midnight" theory suggests that being awake after midnight could lead to emotional dysregulation, poorer decision-making, and greater impulsivity. Are you at risk? psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"[C]hildren who grow up with a #father figure who is #disengaged, #disinterested, or #uninvolved are more likely to struggle with low #self-#worth, experience behavioral issues, and may be more likely to have challenges in forming #secure #attachments...."
#MentalHealthMonday
It should no longer even be a question, but yes, fathers matter. Research shows just how much the presence of a dad influences a child's development of identity, self-worth, and self-esteem. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"While the feeling of #confusion stopped soon after the #rejection, it stayed continuously high after #ghosting.... [T]he lack of closure & the uncertainty about the reasons for the end of the relationship may lead to higher stress in the ghosting condition."
#MentalHealthMonday
Being rejected, as almost all of us know, can be a painful, demoralizing experience. But is the uncertainty and abandonment of ghosting even worse? New research suggests an answer, writes @ocklenBLOG psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"Are we #catastrophizing? Are we assuming #failure is inevitable? ... [W]hen we interrupt these #negative #thought #patterns and replace them with more constructive interpretations, we can shift the trajectory of our #emotional response."
#Optimism #MentalHealthMonday
Optimism isn't just an inherent trait—it's a skill that can be developed and strengthened over time. Here's how. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
"Given that the future is not in our gift, both #hope and #fear are superfluous. More than redundant, they are counterproductive, in that we would do better to concentrate on the things that are actually within our control."
#MentalHealthMonday
"So long as we focus on the things that are within our control, we will be calm and happy. But if we start concerning ourselves with things that are beyond our grasp, we will become anxious and angry and miserable," writes @NeelBurton psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
