Earlier in August, we wrote about the unconventional horror story: the Wall of Awful. 🧱

The Wall of Awful describes a metaphorical wall that makes starting or working on tasks difficult. This wall is built up of past experiences that interfere with your ability to do The Thing.

This week, let's examine several responses to the Wall of Awful and how we can climb it with our well-being in mind.

So, you've made a mistake. What do you do afterwards?

Do you recognize the mistake, accept it, and make adjustments to improve on it next time?

Or, do you dwell on the mistake and beat yourself up for making even one mistake?

If you are prone to doing the latter, check out our newsletter on 3 steps to invite self-compassion after you've made a mistake.

✨ The days that stand out to you—do they leave you glowing with joy, or weighed down by stress?

Our brains are wired for survival. They scan for threats, cling to problems, and remember them more vividly than the good moments. That’s why the memory of your favorite dish being out of stock might stick stronger than the laughter of a baby at the next table.

But what if we could shift that balance? 🌱

This week in our newsletter, we’re exploring how to notice, nurture, and hold on to the memories that actually fill us with love, joy, and happiness.

🍂 Yesterday marked the autumnal equinox—the moment when day and night stand in perfect balance.

Already, the trees are showing us their wisdom. After months of gathering sunlight and fueling growth, they’re beginning to release what no longer serves them. As the days shorten and the air cools, their leaves fall, reminding us of a timeless lesson: there is beauty and strength in letting go.

✨ This season, what can you release to make space for new growth?

Don't hold it back anymore 🎵🍂

🌍 In a world of billions, we tend to make things feel personal.
We scroll, we compare, we measure ourselves against others — and often, we walk away feeling “less than.”

But what if the very way we form our identity is quietly holding us back from the life we truly want?

✨ We dive into this in this week’s newsletter. Read it here 👉 https://eocampaign1.com/web-version?p=a33b492e-9329-11f0-ad58-1782b69c32ae&pt=campaign&t=1758048394&s=e1116785c3d4ff1341cb638aa93b2a6d16bed6f827e3c451a42cda02bb28e6aa

Can your identity prevent you from reaching your goals?

So, you've started a habit. You've kept up good progress for a week. Each day, you're marking off that you hit your daily goal. The momentum is building, and you have a good roll with this new habit.

And then, one day, several weeks later, the day gets crazy, and you forget. Or you fall sick and can't find the energy to meet your daily goal.

You broke your streak.

Well, that sucks. Halting the momentum is demotivating. In this week's newsletter, we have several practical and gentle strategies to ease yourself back into your new habit.

Are women really more anxious than men?
Research says women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. But does that mean men experience less anxiety?

Maybe. But more likely, it means our definition of anxiety has been shaped around women’s experiences—leaving men’s struggles overlooked.

👉 Our understanding of anxiety is too narrow.

Have you walked by something that reminded you of your old friends, bringing up fond memories and making you miss them? 💭

Life is busy. Paths diverge. Friendships often dissipate over time, and reconnecting can be difficult at first. So, this week, we're rekindling the connection with our old friends. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
