I’m going back in time.

I forget who first said this to me, so my apologies for not giving full credit where credit is due. Someone recently told me:

“I’m allergic to my computer.”

This is exactly how I have been feeling.

I’ve been intentionally spending less time on mine lately. Not because I don’t love what technology makes possible, but because I’ve been craving things that require me to slow down, use my hands, and be in the real world.

It’s easy to build a shell around ourselves without even realizing it.

We can surround ourselves with people who think like we do, believe what we believe, and see the world through a similar lens. And then…their voices echo back to us.

We hear our own beliefs reinforced again and again, until they start to feel like the truth rather than simply our perspective.

But what might be possible if we softened the shell?

Have you ever noticed how what matters to you changes over time?

The things that once fueled us don’t always fit forever. And honestly? That’s probably a really good thing.

My dear friend Brian is one of the most generous humans I know. What fills his cup is helping people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. Put him in a room talking about ways to make an impact, helping people access resources, or feeding someone in need and you can feel his whole spirit come alive.

That’s his compass.

What should companies do to improve their employees’ mental health? And why will that improve their company’s productivity?
