Winter can be a tough one. And the longer it goes on the heavier it can feel.With the short and cold days.

By Charles Barnard, founder of Success Institutes. Noah sat on the edge of his bed, his heart pounding. His mom had just asked a simple question: “How was your day?” But it was like a switch had flipped. He felt the heat rise in his chest, and before he knew it, he snapped: “Why do you always […]

Every great achiever has one thing in common: discipline. Behind the novels, inventions, discoveries, and masterpieces are small, consistent habits repeated daily.From Benjamin Franklin to Maya Angelou, and from Charles Darwin to Stephen King, history’s most successful people lived by structured routines that fuelled their creativity, clarity, and productivity.Daily rituals aren’t just habits. They’re systems that transform ordinary individuals into extraordinary ones.Success is not about luck.

If you live with chronic pain, you already know how exhausting it can be. Not just the physical sensations but the constant trying—trying to push through, trying to find answers, trying to explain something that feels invisible to others. The search for relief can become its own full-time job, and it’s easy to feel discouraged or alone.

“Do not ruin today with mourning tomorrow.”Ever feel a little overwhelmed? Or really overwhelmed?This quick read is for YOU…Once upon a time there was a man who had been lost in the desert for three whole days without water.

October 23, 2025Almost all (94.4%) hypermobile Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) patients were incorrectly diagnosed with a mental illness by a non-psychiatrist prior to receiving their hEDS diagnosis, and 88% reported being told by providers that they were “making up” their symptoms, according to new research.1 Findings from another, related study published this month revealed that patients with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are at higher risk for 18 neuropsychiatric disorders including ADHD; female MCAS patients are three times more likely to have ADHD than are controls. Rates of OCD, bipolar disorder, suicidality, and anxiety were also significantly higher in patients with MCAS, who reported improvement of symptoms after MCAS treatment, including with antihistamines.

Many of the conditions that co-occur with ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction, are well understood. Less clear is ADHD’s curious association with asthma, allergies, autoimmune disorders, gut issues, and hypermobility.Can the overlap between these diverse physical health problems and ADHD teach us anything about the condition and its underpinnings? A growing body of research seems to highlight the role of chronic inflammation and dysautonomia, a disordered autonomic nervous system function that controls heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and body temperature.Central to understanding these connections may be ADHD’s strong overlap with joint hypermobility, caused by overly elastic connective tissue.

I know many of us are yearning for a simpler and selective range of life experiences right now — the happier days, the normal times, the settings and experiences that make us feel more comfortable. And yet, the full range of our reality often brings something very different.

We have all seen that novice contortionist who delights in doing splits, wrapping their legs behind their head, or bending their knee joints backward to make us squirm. Here are two more mind-and-body-bending facts: Nearly 80% of female adults with ADHD are hypermobile and individuals with ADHD are four times more likely to be hypermobile than their neurotypical peers.You might be thinking, What on earth does ADHD have to do with being bendy? New research suggests that hypermobility, a condition in which the joints have an unusually large range of motion, may be a common thread binding neurodivergence to a range of physical health problems.Joint hypermobility is the result of a genetic difference in connective tissue.

Do stimulant medications cause brain damage? It’s a frequent concern among people who avoid stimulant treatment for ADHD, both adults and parents of children with the condition.Science shows that prescription stimulants do not cause brain damage. In fact, research suggests that stimulants have a protective effect on the ADHD brain.Perhaps people who fear stimulants assume the medication’s potency exerts too strong a force on the brain after prolonged use.

Delayed gratification — the ability to resist an immediate reward in favor of a more valuable one later — is the most important skill you can teach your child to set the stage for their financial wellness.Waiting sounds basic, but it’s far from simple to practice.

Delaying gratification has not come easy for me because of my ADHD, a condition marked by impulsivity and dopamine-seeking.

The essence of a strong mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.As human beings we often make the same underlying errors over and over again. For example, deep down we know it’s wise to take it one step at a time, to maintain positive daily habits, and to seek out healthy living and working environments. Yet we often do the exact opposite when times get stressful and we’re under pressure.Yes, we do the wrong things even though we know better, because the human mind has weaknesses.

“What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.” ~Don Miguel Ruiz
