This Week
The biggest risk to young people's mental health is not screentime. It’s addictive behavior.
4-year study: The warning sign of serious issues isn’t hours on devices, but whether kids struggle to control their usage.
We should worry less about time than distress and compulsion.

Mike Leach said, "Nothing is really fun unless it's hard. We've got to embrace that things are going to be hard and we've got to embrace being excited when things are hard."
The best don’t fear obstacles, they embrace them.
You can't become great if you only chase what's easy.

Your toughest opponent is often your own unexamined belief that your hard work "deserves" a certain outcome. In the real arena, you get what you earn, not what you're owed.

Don’t talk about negative things, because the more you speak of them, the more power you give them. Speak of hope, speak of strength, speak of possibility what you focus on, grows.

Did You Know?
“Manifestation” has been a newly emerging trend in the mental health and wellness space most commonly associated with a larger “thoughts become things” ideology. This week’s article, “The Secret” to Success? The Psychology of Belief in Manifestation, takes a scientific approach to defining, understanding, and applying manifestation to everyday life. Participants who engaged in manifestation were proven to perceive themselves as more successful, had stronger aspirations, and even believed they were more likely to achieve future success. Although, they were also more likely to take larger risks with personal, financial, and physical downfalls. So, shoot for the moon but ensure your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing is always secure in your future endeavors.
To Building Fortitude.
Warm regards,
Colin Jonov CEO & Founder, Athletic Fortitude
