"I want to cheer on all the things in your life that are bringing you joy. I don’t need you to agree with my life choices, and I don’t need to agree with yours, but I want you with me on my journey. And I want to be with you on yours." @benschilaty #TEDxBYU
"Letting our loved ones know, with our words and our actions, that they belong in our lives and are not a burden to us can save lives." @benschilaty #TEDxBYU
"The people I care about are going to do what they want to do whether I like it or not. My choice is how much I want them in my life." @benschilaty #TEDxBYU
“Hope for the future may not change the world, but it will most certainly change an individual, and that may be even more important.” @stuart_edge #TEDxBYU
“The more vivid your visualization [of the future is], the more real it feels. And research shows the more real it feels, the more likely it will be to impact our behavior.” @stuart_edge #TEDxBYU
Lincoln Highway’s show consists of different types of music all related to the bluegrass instruments that they play including bluegrass, Celtic, country, swing, acoustic covers of pop, and old-time fiddle. #TEDxBYU
If you blend 5 musicians, 11 individual instrumental championships, 15+ instruments, and a couple of screws loose, you get Lincoln Highway. The group has been playing together for 10+ years, but 3 of the members have been playing together for 20+ years!! #TEDxBYU
“It’s time to prioritize our relationships like our life depends on it, because it does.” @jholtlunstad #TEDxBYU
"Being more socially connected has been associated with lower depression, slower age-related cognitive decline, greater happiness and satisfaction with life. Nurturing social relationships has the potential to increase the length and quality of your life." @jholtlunstad #TEDxBYU
@jholtlunstad is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at BYU. Her research on loneliness is profound and the news media agrees! So much so that Facebook's CEO Cheryl Sandberg reached out to Julianne to host a rare Facebook live interview about loneliness and COVID. #TEDxBYU
Lacking social connections carries a risk similar to smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day. This has been quoted in the media, other TED Talks, and even by the U.S. Surgeon General. @jholtlunstad can explain this finding because it comes from her own research. #TEDxBYU
“Many of our biggest fights in the present are coming from unexplored stories from the past.” @DrMattShow #TEDxBYU
“The space is real. It matters. If you don’t take care of the space [in your relationships], the space is going to create problems for you.” @DrMattShow #TEDxBYU
