Focus less on being interesting and more on being interested in other people

Direction over speed. It's better to climb slowly up the right mountain than fast up the wrong one

You don’t need to wait to feel confident before you start. Action builds confidence, so take the next step

082

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

We often over-estimate our future capacity. Make things calmer by committing to slightly fewer things

082

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Prioritise time with loved ones and friends. Our social health is just as important as our physical health

Being willing to say No helps you say Yes to what matters

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

You can’t change what happened, but you can change how you respond

073

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Take the next small step. A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing

083

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Stay hopeful. The challenges you’re facing now have the potential to help you learn, grow and build resilience. Things can and do change

063

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Being willing to change your mind shows wisdom and strength, not weakness

0104

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

When someone says something critical, they are usually expressing a wish or need. Rather than taking it personally or getting defensive, try to see what’s behind it. It may not be about you

The ordinary moments vastly outnumber the extraordinary ones. The more you can appreciate them the more enjoyable everyday life becomes

People usually don’t want you to fix their problems, they want to feel heard

Today, ask yourself: What could I do to make this more enjoyable?

084

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Mental strength is less about battling through and more about letting go

153

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Habits are the foundation for wellbeing. To make big life changes, start with small daily habits

053

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Spread kindness freely. It ripples out and returns in unexpected ways

1112

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

You can reduce the annoyance of other people’s beliefs by increasing your understanding of why they believe them

081

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Focus less on what happened (which you can’t change) and more on how you respond (which you can)

Getting daylight early in the day resets our circadian rhythm. So you can help yourself sleep well tonight from the moment you wake up! ☀️😴

072

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

If you want to guide or influence someone, the most important step is to understand their point of view. Listen with curiosity and patience

052

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Focus on intrinsic motivation. Do things because they really matter to you, rather than to please or impress others

081

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

It’s the little things that make life big. Remember to appreciate them

051

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Notice where your focus is. When you have more control over your attention, you have more control over your life

083

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Habits matter. Small daily actions often lead to more lasting positive outcomes than big one-off changes

052

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Whatever happens today, focus on helping things work out as well as possible in the circumstances

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Your behaviour changes the world more than your opinions

“Physically active holidays are usually better for wellbeing. If you include some walking, cycling, swimming, exploring you’re more likely to get back feeling refreshed” - nice to be quoted on the BBC today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Feeling nostalgic for summer? How to beat the back-to-work blues

Going back to work after a summer holiday can be tricky - here are a few tips to make it easier.

031

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Don’t compare how you feel with how others appear on the outside. Everyone is dealing with stuff that isn’t on show

073

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Prioritise time with friends and time outdoors whenever possible

091

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

It helps to keep a sense of everyday optimism. When I tell myself “it’s going to be a good day” I help to make this more likely, while still leaving space to adjust and respond as needed

082

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The stressed version of you isn’t the best version of you. Focus on removing stressors rather than adding new ones

0102

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Some activities are meaningful but not very enjoyable. Others are enjoyable but not very meaningful. Try to spend less time on things that are neither

062

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

When I blame others, I lose my agency. When I take responsibility for what I can do, I build my agency

071

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Ordinary moments are precious. Remember to enjoy doing everyday things, rather than just getting them done

062

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just take the next small step

0122

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

If you’re worried that we’re facing an apocalypse due to AI or the climate crisis… then spend as much time as possible with people you love doing things that really matter Or if not… then spend as much time as possible with people you love doing things that really matter

0103

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Forgive yourself. Replace “I should’ve known” with “Now I know better”. Or “I should’ve done…” with “Next time I will…”

092

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Be a realistic optimist. Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of resilience, kindness and hope

072

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

When someone opens up about how they feel, instead of offering solutions just say “tell me more” and really listen

051

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Reframe your week. Take something frustrating and find a way to see it as an opportunity

052

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Basic ingredients for a good day 🌿 something outside 🥗 something healthy 🎯 something purposeful 😂 something lighthearted 🧘‍♀️ something calm 💕 something to help others

093

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Telling someone that you’re trusting them encourages them to be trustworthy

081

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

If it matters and you can change it, do something. But if you can’t change it, or it doesn’t really matter, let it go

0113

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Most of life is made up of ordinary moments, like the one you're experiencing right now. The more you can appreciate and enjoy these everyday moments, the more you will appreciate and enjoy your whole life

1124

Dr Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Integrity matters. Although there’s lots we can’t control, we can take responsibility for our actions
