Start Times and Segments:

[0:00:16] What’s On Your Mind: Riley got a new wearable fitness tracker. How do they affect us, especially when it comes to fitness and whether we can disconnect?

[0:09:58] Expanding Minds Interview: [Mental Wellness] Cris Duval and her family experienced tragedies and challenging situations. She realized that it’s possible to reframe something that is hard into something that is positive. There’s something positive in every single event that happens, even if you need to slice things very thin. That’s what she looks for – the positive. There is a dramatic positive impact on our brain when we accomplish a hard thing. Resilience includes an ability to bounce back after hard things happen. We should think about our resilience in life, including about challenges that we can give ourselves to increase our ability to do hard things. Growth is important and it happens when you get out of your comfort zone and do something you haven’t done before, or is difficult for you.
