Have you ever noticed how  “We” is a mirror  reflection of “Me”?  I involuntarily gasped when psychologist, Rick Snyder, first introduced the concept. It was on one of his PowerPoint slides at an undergraduate psychology conference in Kansas City in 2007: Me and We reflected to each other in a pool of water.  Though I had never seen or thought about it before, I  instinctively knew that it told the story behind three psychological truths:
- Me and We are distinct, yet inseparable.
- Me and We impact  each other… positively, negatively, neutrally or, most likely, some combination of the three.
- Me and We contribute to personal and global well-being when we are aware of our essential selves and make choices about the impact we want to have… on ourselves and others.
I dedicate this blog to individuals who offer mindful contributions to personal and global well-being.  My own blogs will focus on the many ways that psychological science can translate into healthy capacity-building action.
Let’s connect to encourage, nourish and support wise, strong and beautiful well-BEINGs everywhere on our planet!
