This week, identify one thing you've been avoiding because it makes you nervous - maybe making a phone call you've been putting off, speaking up in a meeting, or having a conversation you've been delaying. Choose something that scares you a little but isn't actually dangerous, then do it.

Each time you face something that feels slightly scary, you're proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you realize. This builds a foundation of confidence that will help you take on even bigger challenges in the future.

Early Smartphone Ownership Linked to Poorer Young Adult Mental Health. A study of over 100,000 young adults shows that each year of smartphone ownership before age 13 is linked to poorer mental health—girls report lower self‑image and resilience, while boys feel less stable and empathetic. Early users aged five or six experience much higher rates of severe suicidal thoughts than those who wait until 13 or older. Researchers cite social media exposure, cyberbullying, poor sleep, and family strain, and recommend delaying smartphones and boosting digital‑literacy education

Negative thoughts are normal. In the past, focusing on potential threats was what kept our ancestors alive. This trained the human brain to give more weight to negative thoughts as a survival mechanism.

These thoughts only become problematic when we believe they are true with no evidence. It’s often easy to imagine the worst-case scenario. After all, how many times have we heard, “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst”?

A Healthline feature explains that taking a short break from smartphones and social media—a "digital detox"—can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, enhance sleep quality, and increase overall life satisfaction, with these positive effects lasting for weeks.

When you notice yourself creating theories about unclear situations:

Separate facts from fiction: "The fact is they haven't responded. My story is that they're upset with me."

Notice the pattern: "I'm filling in blanks with negative assumptions."

Generate alternative stories: "Maybe they're busy, forgot, or dealing with something unrelated to me."

Return to what you know: "The only thing I actually know is that I haven't heard back yet."

Reality Check Exercise: Ask yourself: "What's the most boring, ordinary explanation for this situation?" Often, the truth is far less dramatic than our theories.
