The habit that helps you achieve all your goals. 🌟 #goals #habits #yougotthis

A common, deeply rooted belief many people have is that something both enormous & difficult has to happen to get #healthy. That an expedited overhaul of their entire life is required to achieve it.

This simply isn’t true.

There is a lot of #bravery, #boldness, and #power in small steps.

📚 Philosophy is one domain I use to help people transform their lives. Aristotle's ideas about virtue & eudaimonia, personal favorites of mine, influenced the field of Positive Psychology, another domain I use to help people. bertalippert.com/eudaimonia/ #happy #healthy #happiness #healthylifestyle

A portrait of Rosa the Southern sea otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium as she floats on her back. She has soft, blonde fur on her face and chest, and wet, chocolatey brown fur on her tummy. Her small brown paws are raised up out of the water with the pads facing the camera as she looks off to the right. The muted morning light in the exhibit on a foggy morning has turned everything tones of sepia.

Today is bittersweet as we celebrate the first birthday without our beloved Rosa, the legendary sea otter who was a pillar of our sea otter surrogacy program. 🦦
