If we focused on teaching children the skills to create long term relationships, emotional regulation, and repair after conflict— we would live in a different world.
A lack of emotional education has society stuck in survival mode.

If you want to stop something before it gets worse you 'nip it in the bud.'
You figuratively pinch off the bud before it opens into a leaf or flower.
You don't 'nip it in the butt' but we're not here to shame.

Slow down. Quit if you know it's not healthy for you. Take a rest day. Pushing through things you hate and past the point of exhaustion is how people get sick. At the end of life, people's regret is that they never gave themselves a chance to pause it.

Plural/possessive name reminder:
For names that end in an s or z sound, you can either add -'s or just an apostrophe.
Going with -'s is the more common choice:
the car that belongs to Jones → Jones's car or Jones' car

Your nervous system goes into fight or flight when you rush. When you push yourself to always produce. And act like everything is urgent. Move slower through your tasks. Slow down your breathing. You’ll get more done when your body isn’t in a state of panic.

Why do mass power outages continue to happen in Texas?
🔹Extreme weather knocks power producers or power lines offline
🔹Legislators have focused on power generation — not power lines and poles.
🔹Strengthening is expensive

We can use our energy to encourage those around us, to build community, and to relentlessly believe in the reality that we are not our conditioned behaviors.
