The neglected middle child of mental health…

This week I've been thinking about the concept of languishing. Here are three things on that theme to help turn overthinking into expert thinking:

1. ​There's a word for this feeling — a 15-minute TED talk by Adam Grant (Stick around for the whole thing, if only for the Mario Kart theory of peak flow!)
   ​
2. ​Make peace with feeling less ambitious from strategist and speaker Dorie Clark in HBR
   ​
3. ​Knowing where you are not — a small moment of insight from a coaching session last week

Extra thoughts…

Languishing is a concept that resonated widely in 2021. Reflecting on my conversations with many people over the last several weeks, I've been wondering if it's becoming relevant again. Are you feeling it?

If that's you or someone you know, here's a bit more on the path to flourishing. And if not, remember to celebrate the achievements along your way​

What did you find most useful this week (here or elsewhere)? I'd love to know!

For any task, project, or job, there are three ways you can go…

• DIY – where you gather the stuff you need and do the work yourself
• Do it with you – where you find a collaborator and do the work together
• Do it for you – where you hire an expert to do the work for you

I've set up my own work so that I offer all three approaches…whether you want to work alone, together, or just sit back and see it get done, I can help.
​
And if you're not sure what you want, or whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to join me for a free, confidential, one-hour Discovery call. We'll explore what's going on, do a quick coaching demo (if that makes sense to do!), and talk through some possible ways forward.

Even if we don't collaborate beyond the call, you'll leave with a new perspective and a clearer idea about what to do next. Get in touch now!
