Point out the good when you see it.

In life.
In others.
In yourself.

Sometimes a small moment of appreciation is enough to help someone see the good in life.

Healing often involves giving yourself permission to cry. 
   
In Japanese culture, the practice of rui-katsu, or “tear-seeking,” has gained popularity as a therapeutic way to release pent-up emotions and alleviate stress in a society often characterized by high-pressure work environments and emotional restraint and suppression. 
    
Pioneered by figures like Hidefumi Yoshida, known as the “tear teacher,” and Hiroki Terai, rui-katsu involves intentional crying sessions—often in group settings, seminars, or even walking tours—where participants watch poignant films, read heartfelt letters, or engage in discussions to provoke tears, fostering emotional catharsis and a sense of refreshment. 
    
I “prescribe” this to my telehealth patients by integrating it with somatic practices like somatic practices or restorative yoga poses to ground them in the present moment and encourage emotional flow; vagal nerve stimulation techniques such as deep diaphragmatic breathing, humming, vagal nerve stimulation or cold water face immersion to activate the parasympathetic response; and other accessible methods including guided journaling prompts for grief processing, curated playlists of music, all tailored to help their body know that it’s safe to let go and begin to heal.

Eileen Gu strikes again — this time with an empowering message for all of us: we are in control of who we want to be. When reporter Charlotte Harpur asked her, "Do you think before you speak?" we all held our breath, but she continued: "Because you answer questions so quickly and so comprehensively. . . . Take us inside your brain." Gu laughed, then replied saying she's an introspective person: "I spend a lot of time in my mind, and it's not a bad place to be." She went on to explain that she does spend a lot of time "tinkering" with her thoughts and attributed her strong mental attitude to neuroplasticity. "I'm always trying to think, how can I better? How can I approach my own brain the way that I approach my craft of freeskiing, so that I can be better tomorrow than I was today?" So, what choice are you making today for the you of tomorrow?
