ALT An illustration titled, "Important reframes." Next to "I have to," is a frame around the phrase, "I can choose to." Next to "I should go to the gym," is a frame around the phrase, "I want to feel better." Next to "I can't do this," is a frame around the phrase, "One step at a time."

Seeing leisure time as wasteful is bad for well-being.
New data: people who see play as unproductive enjoy it less—and are more likely to be anxious, depressed, and stressed.
Even if you don't see fun as productive, it's worth remembering there's more to life than productivity.

Buzzing after a face to face day with members of the past three Sport Wales/First Ascent leadership programmes! Always more to learn, great to re-connect, and now to consider how to harness the power of this alumni group 🤔

🌎Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Prevention is something that we can all individually help with. A short conversation with another person can sometimes be enough to make the difference between life and death for them 💚 #WSPD

Being a workaholic doesn't drive productivity. It's a recipe for languishing.
Having fun isn't an enemy of efficiency. It's fuel for finding flow.
Play isn't a reward for finally making it through your to-do list. It *belongs* on your to-do list.

Resting is not a waste of time. It's an investment in well-being.
Relaxing is not a sign of laziness. It's a source of energy.
Breaks are not a distraction. They're a chance to refocus attention.
Play is not a frivolous activity. It's a path to connection and creativity.

It's not making mistakes that causes failure. It's the time we spend ruminating about them instead of studying how to avoid them.
It's not success that causes complacency. It's the time we fail to spend studying the conditions that fueled success and learning to recreate them.

Before the pandemic, many managers got away with a narrow focus on performance at work.
Now, I hope more are recognizing that they can't afford to ignore well-being in life.
You don't get quality work when people are struggling with quality of life.

From this day #IWD2021 let's all #ChooseToChallenge when we're spoken over or interrupted. Let's all say: "I'm speaking" with a big #KamalaHarris smile. "I'm speaking." Help further women develop this strategy to use at work, home, in the community. Then teach it to our daughters
