Hello friends,

We’re going to start this week’s conversation with a video compilation from… comedian Jim Carrey? There’s a lot to enjoy in this 7-minute video, but don’t expect to find comedy highlights. What you will find are a series of reflections from speeches and interviews about what it means to shape your life by choosing love over fear.

While the video isn’t about mental health per se, it definitely speaks to important well-being concepts and the inseparable nature of our mental, spiritual, physical, and interpersonal health. As you watch the video, try to think about how you see the idea of “choosing love over fear” influencing your outlook and mental well-being.

Our warm-up question for this week:

Who or what makes you laugh the hardest… or the most often?

See you soon,

Alex
