Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

The Crushing Weight of Not Knowing If There Is a Task

as-if-and-only-if

im starting to think this crushing weight is not about the tasks

Pay attention to the world. 🌎🌍🌏

notsochillnerd

stop. stop. it is not just the women and children of gaza. it is not just the mothers. it is also the men. the fathers, the uncles, the vendor, the neighbor, the barber. stop dehumanising them. they are also being killed. they are also being bombed. they are also losing loved ones. palestinians are also losing their fathers and brothers. stop it. stop erasing the pain and suffering of palestinian men. they deserve our love, care and voice just as much as the women and children do.

I don’t understand Godzilla Vs Kong.”who wins an alligator or a monkey” alligator every time. “What if they were both big” what if you had sense. You would see

sanitymakesposts

You don’t get it Jame. The monkey is substantially smaller than the Empire State Building and the alligator can unleash nuclear power blasts

vivian-the-barbarian

Actually if any of you had bothered to watch the Star Trek episode "Arena" you'd know that a monkey can totally defeat an alligator so long as the monkey has a rudimentary understanding of how to make a gun

jame7t

now see i think that nuclear power blasts are slightly stronger than a rudimentary understanding of how to make a gun

When Utonium first creates the girls, he immediately panics about how to take care of them and drives to the store to get supplies and, literally, the First thing he says when he gets back is “good parents don’t leave their children home alone.”

Like Utonium went from Scientist to Dad faster than the explosion that created his superpowered daughters.

So… you’re telling The PowerPuff girls is basically just a Frankenstein AU wherein he takes some goddamn responsibility for his creation for once?

feanor-the-dragon

That is a powerful take right there

Theres a reason he is Professor Utonium and the other is Mr. Frankenstein

Connecting with the sun and the moon ☼ ☽

I gathered a few exercises to strengthen my connection with the sun and the moon. They’re really simple, and pretty good for baby witches, too.

Having a basic connection with the sun and the moon is necessary in order to be in harmony with your surroundings. Before performing rituals related to the astros (which includes extensive astrology readings, wheel of the year rituals, and even gardening magic) you need to be somewhat tuned in with them.

Sensing the sun’s magic ☼

As you connect with the sun, you’ll gather the information necessary to best work with sun magic. This kind of information needs to come from you, cause it’s about how your energy interacts with the sun’s; different people may have completely different experiences. A good way to slowly build or fortify your connection with the sun’s magic is to gradually approach it and gain intimacy with it.

First contact: Take some time to meditate when the sun rises, at midday, when the sun sets, and at midnight. In each of those 4 moments, pause for a few minutes to observe the sun and to notice your surroundings. Practice being aware of the energy around you, and try to put it into words for reference. In the next day, take some time to compare the different sensations you had at each time, and try to figure out what they mean to you.

Establishing a connection ☼

This is a simple exercise that I do every time I feel like I need to renew my bond with the sun. A lot of people think it’s best to perform these type of exercises at noon, when the sun is at it’s peak, but I strongly advice against it if you have fair skin and/or live in a warm, tropical place. Being safe is more important and it’ll work much better if you’re actually comfortable. (And of course, use sunscreen if necessary.)

☼ Go outside, find a nice spot to sit in the sun, preferably around nature. Close your eyes. Feel the warmth on your skin, visualize the sunshine touching you as your body absorbs it’s energy.

☼ When you feel you’ve already formed a faint connection with your surroundings, imagine there’s a mist rising from the nature around you, like a fog of energy emanating from everything the sun touches.

☼ Take 3 deep breaths. Each time, visualize you’re inhaling some of that mist, and it’s filling your lugs and flowing through your entire body. Imagine you’re becoming one with your surroundings, and the mist’s energy is mixed with yours. When you exhale, let go of any thoughts that might be holding you back, let it wash away any negativeness that you might’ve been holding onto.

☼ Imagine your consciousness is connected to the sun, like the warmth is exchanging energy with your skin. Focusing on that, ask yourself: how does it feel? Is it energizing, or soothing? Or both? How does it affect your emotions? Do any thoughts pop into your head? Vague ideas? Try to put it into words. When you’re done, simply recollect yourself, and take some time later to digest what you might’ve felt and reach for conclusions.

Sensing the moon’s magic ☽

Just like with the sun, the information you’ll gather about the moon will reflect how your energy interacts with it, and different people may have completely different experiences. A good way to slowly build or fortify your connection is to gradually approach it and gain intimacy with it.

First contact: Take some time to meditate in 4 different nights; a new moon, a waxing moon, a full moon and a waning moon. In each of those moments, pause for a few minutes to observe it and to notice your surroundings. Practice being aware of the energy around you, and try to put it into words for reference. Afterwards, take some time to compare the different sensations you had each night, and try to figure out what they mean to you.

Establishing a connection ☽

I use the same exercise I do with the sun when I want to renew my connection with the moon. Each time, I approach it like it’s my first real connection with it; I’ve changed, so why wouldn’t my magic change? Since I’ve already meditated in 4 different phases of the moon like I said above, I choose a moment based on those experiences. A lot of people like to go with a full moon, but I personally love to work on forming connections on a waxing crescent. Each phase of the moon has it’s own strengths, and you can choose whatever feels right for you.

You want everyone to be able to slot into a pride and prejudice au but no one can accurately fit into the niche that Mr Darcy and Elizabeth have cornered which is completely and uniquely deranged and sophisticated in a way no marvel character, nay, not even an over watch character, can dare compete with
