Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. We often encounter obstacles that test our strength and resilience along the way. These physical, emotional, or psychological challenges can either break us or make us stronger. The power of resilience lies in our ability to bounce back from adversity and keep moving forward, no matter how tough the circumstances.

The unbreakable spine: a metaphor for resilience

Consider the spine, a vital part of the human body . It’s a powerful metaphor for resilience. Just as the spine supports the body, resilience supports our mental and emotional well-being. When we say, “Nothing’s gonna break my spine,” we are essentially affirming our unyielding strength and determination to withstand any adversity that comes our way. This statement is a testament to our inner strength and the power of resilience.

View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Jeff Rose – CFP® – Finance (@jjeffrose)

Resilience: the key to overcoming obstacles

Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties. It’s the mental toughness that allows us to keep going, no matter how hard things get. When we say, “nobody’s gonna slow me down,” we are expressing our determination to keep moving forward, regardless of the obstacles we face. This determination is a crucial aspect of resilience.

The importance of resilience

Resilience is not just about surviving; it’s about thriving in the face of adversity. It’s about finding the strength to overcome challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth and development. Resilience allows us to maintain our balance and keep our composure during tough times. It helps us to stay focused on our goals and not let setbacks derail our progress.

Cultivating resilience

Cultivating resilience requires a combination of mental, emotional, and physical strength. Here are some strategies to help build resilience :

1. Positive Mindset: Maintaining a positive mindset is crucial for resilience . It’s about seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty. It’s about focusing on the positives in every situation and believing in our ability to overcome challenges.

2. Emotional Intelligence : Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our emotions. It allows us to stay calm and composed during stressful situations and helps us to respond to challenges in a more balanced and rational way.

3. Physical Strength: Physical strength contributes to our overall resilience. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep can help to boost our physical health and increase our resilience.

4. Social Support: Having a strong support network can significantly enhance our resilience. The support and encouragement of family, friends, and mentors can provide us with the strength and motivation to overcome challenges.

5. Continuous Learning: Resilience is about learning from our experiences and using them to grow and develop. It’s about viewing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth.

In conclusion, resilience is a powerful tool that can help us to navigate the challenges of life. It’s about having an unbreakable spine, a determination that “nobody’s gonna slow me down.” By cultivating resilience, we can not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity. So, let’s embrace the power of resilience and keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at us.

Diagnosed With A Mental Health Condition

What to do in a crisis, taking care of yourself, disclosing to others, navigating finances and work, additional support.

If you have a mental health condition, you’re not alone.  One in 5  American adults experiences some form of mental illness in any given year. And across the population,  1 in every 20  adults is living with a serious mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or long-term recurring major depression.

As with other serious illnesses, mental illness is not your fault or that of the people around you, but widespread misunderstandings about mental illness remain. Many people don’t seek treatment or remain unaware that their symptoms could be connected to a mental health condition. People may expect a person with serious mental illness to look visibly different from others, and they may tell someone who doesn’t “look ill” to “get over it” through willpower. These misperceptions add to the challenges of living with a mental health condition.

Every year people overcome the challenges of mental illness to do the things they enjoy. Through developing and following a treatment plan, you can dramatically reduce many of your symptoms. People with mental health conditions can and do pursue higher education, succeed in their careers, make friends and have relationships. Mental illness can slow us down, but we don’t need to let it stop us.

Unlike diabetes or cancer there is no medical test that can provide a diagnosis of mental illness, but getting a diagnosis is a useful step in receiving effective treatment and improving your quality of life.

Missy actor reflects on 7-year young sheldon journey as the show nears its series finale.

Raegan Revord looks back on her 7 years playing Missy Cooper in CBS' Young Sheldon as the family comedy prepares to wrap up in less than a month.

  • Raegan Revord pays tribute to her seven-year stint as Missy in Young Sheldon .
  • Missy was the best Cooper in Young Sheldon for the longest time.
  • Despite her appeal, Revord won't be a series regular in Georgie and Mandy's Young Sheldon spinoff, but she can return as a guest.

Raegan Revord looks back on her seven-year stint playing Missy on Young Sheldon , as it nears its finale. Production for Young Sheldon has already wrapped , but it doesn't mean that the tributes have already stopped. After the initial announcement that filming has finished for the show, more cast and crew shared their sentiments about the bittersweet ending of Young Sheldon . Admittedly, The Big Bang Theory prequel could have continued for several more years, but the established continuity forced CBS to conclude it.

Taking it to her official Instagram account, Revord shares a string of images from her time playing Missy in Young Sheldon with a poignant message. Check out the post below:

Revord's photos are a mix of old and more recent snaps from the set of Young Sheldon . In her caption, she emphasizes how much she has grown in the last seven years on the show, and that she will be forever grateful for the experience.

Will Revord Play Missy Again In Young Sheldon’s Sequel Series?

Georgie & mandy's spinoff will continue young sheldon's storytelling..

The actor revealed that she wasn't invited to partake in the Young Sheldon spinoff project, although she didn't share any additional details as to why that's the case.

For the longest time, Missy was Young Sheldon 's best character , even though she was mostly sidelined. That has somehow changed as the show builds up Georgie ahead of his spinoff sequel with Mandy, but it doesn't mean that his sister has lost all of her appeal. It's still there, but the prequel hasn't given her the chance to showcase her positive traits since it has been focused on other storylines. Unfortunately, time is running out for Young Sheldon to fully utilize Missy , considering that the family comedy/drama now only has a handful of episodes left.

Despite Revord's impressive performance as Missy, the writers chose not to bring her back for Georgie and Mandy's spinoff show. The actor revealed that she wasn't invited to partake in the Young Sheldon spinoff project , although she didn't share any additional details as to why that's the case. However, it doesn't seem like anyone else from Young Sheldon 's core cast will be in the new show aside from Georgie and Mandy. Missy and the remaining Coopers may appear as guest stars, but it is unlikely that they become series regulars.

Young Sheldon Season 7 Fixes Its Worsening Sheldon/Meemaw Big Bang Theory Plot Hole

Assuming that Revord's story as Missy ends in Young Sheldon , things are not easy for her from here on out. George's death will have a massive impact on her, especially since she is particularly close to her dad. Hopefully, however, the series can show how much that loss shapes her future in The Big Bang Theory since she becomes the least successful Cooper sibling despite her potential.

Young Sheldon season 7 airs every Thursday, 8 pm ET on CBS.

2024 WNBA Draft results: Tracker, order, grades with Caitlin Clark taken by Fever, Angel Reese heading to Sky

Cameron brink, kamilla cardoso and rickea jackson rounded out the lottery behind clark.

The star-studded 2024 WNBA Draft tipped off in style Monday, as the Indiana Fever selected Iowa superstar and back-to-back Naismith Player of the Year Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick . Clark will pair with former South Carolina star Aliyah Boston, who the Fever took at No. 1 last year. 

Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Cameron Brink was the No. 2 pick, and she's heading south from Stanford to Los Angeles to join the Sparks. There, she'll team up with Rickea Jackson from Tennessee, whom the Sparks add with their second lottery pick at No. 4 overall. 

The SEC championship game was headlined by the post battle between Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese. Now, just a few weeks later, the two stars are teammates after the Chicago Sky selected them at No. 3 and 7, respectively.  

Also in the first round, the Dallas Wings took Ohio State's Jacy Sheldon with the No. 5 overall pick, while UConn forward Aaliyah Edwards was selected sixth by the Washington Mystics, becoming the 27th Husky to be selected in the first round of the WNBA Draft. 

Some notable players drafted outside of the first round include Nika Muhl (No. 14 to the Storm), Dyaisha Fair (No. 16 to the Aces), Elizabeth Kitley (No. 24 to the Aces) and Charisma Osborne (No. 25 to the Mercury). Later in the night, the Aces took Jackson State's Angel Jackson with the No. 36 pick, and with that another draft is in the books. 

While the draft is over, anticipation for the forthcoming WNBA season is only rising, and fans can help ease the wait by purchasing  Clark's Fever jersey .

Angel Jackson closes out the show

Jackson State center Angel Jackson went No. 36 overall to the Washington Mystics, and with that the 2024 WNBA Draft is officially over. She was a two-time SWAC Defensive Player of the Year who averaged nearly three blocks per game for the Tigers as she led them to the NCAA Tournament this season. 

Osborne off the board to Phoenix

Charisma Osborne's long wait is over. She was the last player left in the green room and is finally off the board at No. 25 overall to the Phoenix Mercury. While no one wants to drop that far, the Mercury is a great landing spot for Osborne, as she has a real chance to make that roster. This is a steal for the Mercury in the third round

Aces take Kate Martin

Kate Martin admitted she was at the draft mainly to support her college teammate Caitlin Clark, but she was also hopeful to hear her name called. She did in the middle of the second round, when the Aces selected her with the No. 18 overall. It may be an uphill battle for her to make the roster, but she works had and is a versatile player. 

Muhl goes to the Storm

Nika Muhl is finally off the board. The UConn star dropped out of the first round, which was great news for the Storm, who did not have a pick until No. 14 overall. Muhl is a floor general and a dogged defender who can knock down open shots and profiles as a long-term back-up point guard. Nice get for the Storm here
