“Be kind. That’s the only rule. I pray that anything else that you become will bring you peace.”

— Juansen Dizon

“And here’s the thing. Sometimes following your curiosity will lead you to your passion. Sometimes it won’t, and then guess what? That’s still totally fine. You’ve lived a life following your curiosity. You’ve created a life that is a very interesting thing, different from anybody else’s. And your life itself then becomes the work of art, not so much contingent upon what you produced, but about a certain spirit of being that I think is a lot more interesting and also a lot more sustainable.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert, “Choosing Curiosity Over Fear” (On Being)

Learning techniques in text books vs. applying them in actual therapy...

‘Rat Park’ -Stuart McMillen

You’ll never think about drug addiction the same way again after reading this comic.

[elodieunderglass]

What I found absolutely impressive and stunning about this comic is the way the artist explained the identification and elimination of the confounding factors in the Rat Park study. This is one of the hardest parts of experiments to explain to the public, and I think it was just brilliantly done.

[bylillian]

Brilliant.

[homotology]

Rat Park has always been one of my all time favorite studies. If you’ve got a minute to read this I highly recommend it as it could change your perspective on drug abuse.

[graperestaurant-deactivated2019]

This is cool.

[avoiceemerging]

Me trying to break the ice on a date: Ohhh, what’s your trauma history?

[micdotcom]

Do this four times repeatedly and you’ll be out. But how does it work? There’s some real brain science behind it.

We’re trying this tonight!

[askragtatter]

It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.

[rewritethis-story]

It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.

[queensimia-deactivated20181215]

Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.

My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.
