"That period of constant stress revealed a simple fact: I am most stressed when I do things that I don’t like. These job interviews also showed me that I don’t like management roles, user research, fintech startups, Zoom calls, and other things in the jobs I applied to. I was still trying to find my place and mission in this profession."

One of the most popular courses at Harvard University is called “Justice: What’s the right thing to do?” lead by professor Michael Sandel. The first episode “the moral side of murder” has over 35M YouTube views.

“What if you had to choose between (1) killing one person to save the lives of five others and (2) doing nothing even though you knew that five people would die right before your eyes if you did nothing—what would you do? What would be the right thing to do?” - the description says.

In our daily lives, we constantly face big and small moral choices. This prompted us to talk with coaches who specialize in ethics. Read more to learn about decision making through an ethical prism in life and in the corporate world

Vivid Minds spoke to entrepreneurs about their mental health routines. Here are some of the tips our experts use to keep their life-work balance:

“Blocking off time for myself in my work calendar helps me know that even on the busiest days, I’ll have at least a short block of time for myself to take a breath, catch up on something, take care of a personal task, or pop outside for some fresh air. At the end of the day, it feels like there’s less hanging over my head, and it makes it easier to unwind”, — says Carey Shuffman, Executive Director Head of Women’s Segment at UBS.

“Take actions that make you feel competent – take good notes at work, and then review them to be sure that you understand what’s happened and what’s required of you. Feeling good at something lifts your spirits and makes you feel that younger people are not necessarily gaining on you”, says Dr. Ahron Friedberg, MD, psychiatrist and author of “Towards Happiness”.

As a young child living in West London, dreamed of getting a break on TV.
She looked at kids playing fun games in her favorite show, “Blue Peter”, and thought: none of the characters looked like her, a girl born in a Sikh family. She wanted to become the person that represented her community of half a million people in the UK. She wanted people to learn more about her culture. This is how she decided to become a journalist to find unreported human interest stories that had a strong angle and resonated with others.

Taking care of one’s mental well-being is hard — especially when you have a tight schedule and business goals to meet.

Vivid Minds spoke to entrepreneurs from around the globe about their mental health routines. Here are some of the tips our experts use to keep their mind-body balance:

Practicing skincare: “My skincare routine is my transition moment. I use clean products that are scented with essential oils. There’s something about washing my face and feeding it with hydration that’s so simple yet indulgent at the end of the day. It’s a quick and easy way to feel like I’m taking care of myself, and I learned through the process of sourcing and launching my own clean CBD skincare brand that products scented with certain essential oils are a great way to calm the nervous system”, says Tyler Matthews , Real Estate Investor at Sellfastbluegrass.com.

“I need a daily release to burn off excess energy. Whether it’s morning yoga with my wife, weights after work, or skiing with my daughters on the weekends, the endorphins help burn off stress and give me the energy I need to tackle what’s next. Even better, it gives me something to look forward to each day”, says Harley Finkelstein , the President of Shopify.

Nobody who meets is surprised to know that she works with art. There’s everything about her – from the platinum-blonde undercut pixie hair to the fashion-forward garments, and even the hyphenated European name – screams “art”.
Not the street kind, nor the classical, but contemporary, unreachable, by-appointment-only gallery kind of art. And though she has been in the field for over 15 years now, talking to her doesn’t feel hermetic – like a museum wall label – at all. The truth is that Christina is an outsider, at work and at heart, and her plan is to make art more accessible than ever.
In 2020, to remove every obstacle of the art trade, she shifted her focus to NFTs and created a marketplace and e-commerce platform. But unlike dozens of others, it allows people to participate actively in its governance and profit from it.

It comes as no surprise that many of the most common mental health issues start and develop in the workplace. Due to long hours and tight deadlines to the noise of open spaces and toxic hierarchical environments, workplaces have always been stress-inducing.
The global COVID-19 pandemic added new layers to the issue, forcing multiple people to turn their homes into offices, spend hours on Zoom calls and improvise with childcare. But worldwide lockdowns also had a positive effect: mental health in the workplace and the importance of talking about it started making headlines. As a consequence, more and more companies are adopting measures to prioritize the mental health of their employees. Find out why and how major companies integrate meditation, counselling and retreats in their corporate culture. Link in stories.
