While 10% of individuals will struggle with a clinically significant eating disorder in the their lifetime, the majority of us will struggle with body image issues. I'm often asked about the best strategies for healing body image issues, and I'm so excited to share this new, free offering from Equip. Explore: Freeform is a self-paced, virtual module designed to help people build awareness of harmful appearance ideals and practice new ways to push back against them. It’s also a preview of Equip’s full-length Freeform group which includes four weeks of live sessions with peers and trained facilitators. While there is no research requirement to use this resource, we are currently investigating the impact of this virtual module to help us build more resources in the future. If you choose to participate in the research aspect, you can receive up to $20 in Amazon gift cards for your time completing follow-up surveys. Learn more about societal appearance ideals and open the door to further body image work. Sign up now: https://lnkd.in/gdMEqs-v

📣 Have you ever grabbed a coupon that says "𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄"? It is no secret that getting something for 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 feels great. It turns out, the idea of paying nothing—𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎—has a powerful effect on us. 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 is an emotional hot button --- a source of irrational excitement. So, do you really understand the impact of 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄? Here is a quick test: Imagine someone offers you a choice between a 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 $𝟏𝟎 Amazon gift card or a $𝟐𝟎 gift card for $𝟕. Think quickly—what would you choose? . . . . . If you picked the 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 $𝟏𝟎 gift card, you are like most people. ➡ But take a closer look: the $20 gift certificate for $7 actually gives you $13 in value for just $7. That’s a better deal than the FREE $10 gift card. ➡ This shows how our excitement for 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 can sometimes cloud our judgment. Long back, when amazon started offering free shipping of orders over a certain amount. Someone who purchased a single thing for 20 dollars might pay an additional $4 for shipping for instance. But if the customer bought another things for a total of $28, they would get their shipping FREE. Some of the purchases probably did not want the second thing but the FREE shipping was so tempting that to get it. they were willing to pay the cost of extra thing. ➡ In my practical experience also, whenever I buy groceries on Amazon Fresh, I often end up buying extra things I do not actually need. This happens because I see that I need to spend a little more to get free shipping. So, I end up adding more items to my cart just to reach the minimum amount for the free shipping offer. ➡ 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 is not just another discount. 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 is different place. The difference between $5 and $10 is small. But the difference between $5 and 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 is huge. Want to draw a crowd? make something FREE.  Want to sell more products? make part of the purchase FREE. What do you think about the power of ZERO? Let me know in the comments!

This isn’t a very “LinkedIn” type post, but it’s important to me. Winter weather is deadly for people without shelter. Through our volunteer work, my husband and I have seen that firsthand — it’s devastating. Are you looking for a relatively low-effort way to help our unhoused friends during winter weather? If carrying around warmth items isn’t something you want to do, here’s a suggestion: 💳 Gift cards to McDonald’s or other fast food restaurants with seating areas. Understandably, restaurants want folks in their seating areas to be paying for food. That gift card provides a little food and, importantly, a place to get out of the cold for a while. Shelters tend to close at 6:00 am, but it’s still cold out. And there aren’t a lot of places to go afterwards. Grab a few gift cards and keep them on-hand. Easy to give to someone in a quick exchange.
