"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."

"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 youโve released them."
#LettingGo #MentalHealthMonday
Letting go means releasing aspects of our livesโsuch as a relationship, job, living situation, thought pattern, or habitโthat arenโt working for us. Here's why it can be so hard, and how to do it anyway. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/โฆ
"[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, explainsย @swhitbo psychologytoday.com/us/blog/โฆ
"[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."

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/โฆ
"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/โฆ
