#MentalHealth #PersonalAgency #Choice 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our second segment on Mental Health, this week!  

Let's talk about what it means to be self-directed, and also being self-directed is one of the only real ways of achieving fulfillment.  

In a world where many of us have much to be grateful for, it's easy to understand why we sometimes deal with guilt, for not being satisfied. Generally speaking, a lack of satisfaction with life is often a signal that we are not in alignment with where we would derive the most fulfillment from where we would put our energy.  

So what do we do?  

Let's talk about how the simple act of aligning our energy, thoughts and actions to what makes us happy, regardless of the status quo, has a measurable positive effect on our mental health. It doesn't need to make sense to others if it makes sense to you.  

Let's commemorate those make the brave choice to value their own inner sense of fulfillment, and who put plans in motion to live their life aligned to their passions.

#MentalHealth #PersonalAgency #Choice 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our first segment on Mental Health, this week!  

We're going to talk about how owning our choices, has a positive effect on our overall Mental Health.  

There are so many opportunities to offload choice onto other people, or even technologies. We sometimes become so good at putting things off, and at giving others the permission and authority to make choices for us, we lose sight of the benefits that we reap in retaining those choices for ourselves.  Personal agency and our mental health are positively correlated. 

The more you make choices for yourself, regardless of the outcome, the more you start to recognize your ability to navigate the world around you, and create a world of your own choosing.   Let's celebrate choice and keep our choices, close to heart.

#Education #Learning #NewNormal 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our second segment on Modern Education, this week!  Let's chat about the future of education, as we think about the tools and skills that are required in the growing Digital Economy.  

It's an important time to address the concept of there being a "Learning Ceiling" a cap to a child's intellectual capacity. The idea that intelligence is pre-defined at birth has been a notion that has fuelled a lot of the policy that reinforces compulsory education.   

Genius emerges.  

Given that we provide children with the right environment, tools, resources and people to enable them to learn and actualize on the potential that they have, to achieve what it is they would like to be. 

Here's my thoughts on adopting an adaptive learning environment and doing away with the rigid, tradition conventions of present day schooling.

#Education #Psychology #StageTheory 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our first segment on Modern Education, this week!  

We will be debunking the myth of stage theory in our discussion, and talk about the underlying reasons why current classrooms are categorized by age.  Hint: It's not because it optimizes learning, by any means

#MentalWellness #Mourning #Discomfort 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our second segment on Mental Wellness, this week.  

This discussion is a continuation on our conversation surrounding grief and mourning.  

Listening in on discussions, and seeing some of the rhetoric that has been circulating, is a big reason why I felt this video was needed. 

We all will experience loss at some point, therefore we are all in a position to respect and honour the loss that those around us are experiencing.  There are even occasions that might require us to speak up and stand up for those who are grieving, because they are not in the mental or emotional frame of mind to speak up for themselves. 

Let's all please remember our humanity, and to demonstrate humanity, at all times. 

 Our voices have power, let's use those voices to support, protect and empower one another through each of our individual paths toward healing.

#MentalWellness #Empathy #Recovery 

Hello Everyone,  

Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness.  

Our chat on Mental Wellness is focused on how to respond empathically, and what behaviours and mindsets align with being empathic when those around you are mourning through loss.  

The way we express emotions and respond to the emotionality of those around us, is part of what makes each of us human. We will all respond in our own way, and in our own time.  

Currently, our Indigenous communities are mourning the loss of children, the 215 in British Columbia and the 751 children found in Saskatchewan, still recognizing that there are more children who have yet to be found.  

As a collective, it's hard not to be shaken by this news and come to face with all that it means. As members within the community or of adjacent communities, this is a time that requires our empathy, our support and our solidarity.
