LISTEN TO BOB ROSS.
Bob Ross was paid $0 to make his series. He made a living giving lessons IRL and later selling his own line of paints and brushes.
I apologize for not reblogging him as much but everyone needs this on their dash daily. Â Seriously everyone needs this on their blog or wherever. Do they rerun this anymore or no?

Grounding Techniques useful for trauma survivors
As this post has been so helpful to so many Iâve decided to create a page to write articles based on mental health & trauma! Please check it out for more exciting and useful things that will be happening â€ïžhttps://journal.media/mental-health-trauma-and-me?_ga=2.116708294.1954912039.1510738640-1306413475.1510738640
If you have experienced a trauma, you may experience traumatic symptoms. Grounding exercises can be so helpful in getting you back into your window of tolerance! When youâre out of your window you may experience flashbacks, panic attacks, dissociation, a numbness, foggy brain etcâŠ
So here are a list of techniques! Please practice! If you can practice them whilst you are feeling ok and are in your window you are much more likely able to use them when you experience a trigger! Itâs about trial and error with lots of practice! Wishing you lots of healing hugs and positive thoughts. Stephanie xx
Mental GroundingâŠ.
- Pick a category and try to think of as many objects as possible that fit in that category. (Eg. Types of dogs, cities, crayon colours, sports.) - Pick a letter & think of all the words that begin with that letter - Pick a colour & look for things of that colour in the room - Say or think the alphabet backwards or alternate letters & numbers (A1 B2 C3 D4.) - Describe an everyday event or process in great detail, listing all of the steps in order & as thoroughly as possible (e.g. How to cook a meal, how to get from your home to work or school, how to do your favourite dance.)
Reorientation Grounding TechniquesâŠ
- Say or think to yourself⊠âMy name isâŠ. I am safe right now. I am âŠ. years old. I am currently at âŠ. The date isâŠ. If I need help, I am with âŠ./ can callâŠ.. Everything is going to be alrightâ - List reaffirming statements. (I am fine. Everything is going to be okay. I am strong. I can handle this.) - Ask yourself⊠Ask yourself where you are, what day of the week it is, what day of the month it is, what month it is, what year it is, what season it is, how old you are, who is the current political leader of your country.) - Name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell or taste & 1 thing you like about yourself. - Think about a fun time you had with someone recently or call them and ask them to talk about it with you.
Sensory Grounding TechniquesâŠ
- Run cool or warm (not too cold or hot!) water over your hands or take a cool or warm bath/shower. - Spritz your face (with eyes closed), neck, arms & hands with a fine water mist. - Spray yourself with your favourite perfume (One that is not linked in any way to trauma experienced or reminds you of a traumatic experience or person) and focus on the scent. - Feel the weight of your body in your chair or on the floor and the weight of your clothing on your skin. - Touch & hold objects around you. Compare the feel, weight, temperature, textures, colours & materials. - Keep a small object with you to touch or play with when you get triggered. - Bite into a lemon, orange or lime & notice the flavour, scent & texture or suck on a sour or minty candy or ice cube. - Listen to soothing or familiar music. If possible jump around and dance to it. - Pick up a book and read the first paragraph out loud. - Hug a tree or another person (If interpersonal touch isnât a trigger). Pay attention to your own pressure and physical sensations of doing so. Register the smells of being outside, the wind & the sights around you.
Movement Grounding TechniquesâŠ
- Breath deeply & slowly & count your breaths - Grab tightly onto your chair or press your feet against the ground as firmly as you can - Rub your palms and clap your hands or wiggle your toes within your socks. Pay attention to physical sensations of doing so - Stretch out your arms or legs, roll your head on your neck, or clench and unclench your fists. - Stomp your feet, walk around, run, jump, ride a bike, do jumping jacks - While walking, notice each footstep & sat to yourself ârightâ and âleftâ to correspond with the foot currently moving - Squeeze a pillow, stuffed animal or ball - If you have a soft pet (dog or cat) brush its fur and stroke it. If you donât, brush your own hair slowly and without pulling it too much - Write what ever comes to mind even if itâs nonsense. Try not to write about the negative thoughts or feelings until you are more capable of doing so without increasing a them - Pop bubble wrap or blow and pop actual bubbles - Dog in the dirt or garden, jump on a pile of leaves or splash around in puddles or mud - Rip up paper or stomp on aluminium cans to crush them
In case of a flashbackâŠ
- Tell yourself that you are having a flashback and are safe now - Remind yourself that the worst is over and you survived it. What you are feeling now is just a reminder of the trauma and does not fit the present moment - Breath deeply and slowly. Count your breaths and make sure that youâre getting enough air - Use the other Grounding Techniques above to distract and calm yourself - If possible or necessary, go somewhere where you can be alone or with a close friend, where you will feel safe, or where you feel protected or shielded - Be gentle to yourself and take the time to really recover. If what helps you to recover is to colour, take a bubble bath, hug a stuffed animal or watch a childrenâs movie and if it would not be disruptive to do such things at that point in time, embrace those options whole heartedly - If possible note or write down what triggered the flashback, what Techniques you tried to use to disrupt the flashback & what helped - Remember you are a survivor. You are strong, you can make it through this, though it might take some time. Be patient with yourself throughout the process of healing.
hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say itâs by Rembrandt but thatâs probably not right
Itâs âSmiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Imageâ by Gerard van Honthorst!!
Itâs the best painting that exists
idk this self-portrait Michael Sweerts did is a pretty high contender
that is a good and valid point. thank you

A Painting Made From Pieces of Glass
thatâs amazing
i just realized itâs not just pieces of glass
theyâre shaped as paper planes
the piece can be complete and aesthetically pleasing even when there is no projection this is so good and it makes me so happy
THIS IS ALSO SCIENCE. SCIENCE ART. THE BEST KIND OF ART.
it kinda annoys me when people post these things and they donât give credit to the artist. so the artistâs name is Rashad Alakbarov and heâs from Azerbaijan and heâs done several other pieces using shadows :
Someone took in two disabled bunnies that were going to be euthanized. One is blind and one has a tumor behind her eye and desperately needs surgery. She needs to raise $850 to save the bun. Please donate and signal boost!
As of now, the pressure on this bunâs eye is so bad it could burst open. Please donate, the fundraiser unfortunately doesnât have much traction.
also, edit: the vet gave a discount and only $450 needs to be raised. please donate!
$60 out of $450 has been raised! Gussie will lose her eye and maybe even her life without treatment. Her companion is blind and needs her help with getting around and feeling safe. Letâs make sure these bunnies have long happy lives!
reminder: the vet cut the price of Gussieâs surgery, she only needs $450
$280 raised by six donors! Please continue to signal boost and donate. Anything, even $2 helps and youcaring is secure and compatible with PayPal.
Please donate! This bun needs surgery ASAP
$320! Letâs get this bunâs fundraiser done!
$340 our of $450!!! We can do this!!

Photography Tricks Anyone Can Do.
@i-dont-believe-in-saints this seems relevant to your interests
Oooooo.
I normally dislike character descriptions that describe someoneâs scent like âhe smelled like fresh grass and cinnamon and the wind before a rainstormâ because itâs cheesy and seems unrealistic, BUT I just finished tending the fire after moisturizing with honey and⊠I actually smell âlike honey and woodsmokeâ.
See, when a character is described like that, all I require to accept it is that whatever the smell is tells us about a serious hobby or passion the character has. All summer I smell like antiques because I spend all day in a 200 year old barn. I know people who smell like leather, and youâll find them in a tack room if you look. People who work with their hands around wood, fire, metal, cooking, bodies of water, etc. often smell strongly of something pleasant. I donât mind reading that a woodcutter who rides horses smells of âleather and cedar.â Just donât give me that information without an explanation. Also, I donât like it when itâs from the protagâs perspective and they just SOMEHOW recognize all these scents without being someone who reasonably would or could?? Like if Iâm reading for the POV of a protag who just moved to the country after living in a city her whole life, I donât want to hear her think he smelled like leather tack, cedar, and boot polish. Why would she know
Yeah! My issue isnât with like, cooks smelling like a blend of spices. My dad is a craftsman and he very much does smell like leather and turpentine. I just dislike when smell is treated like an inherent character trait that doesnât reflect their lifestyle.
I imagine protags meeting new people and just sniffing them deeply, then reflecting on their scent like theyâre at a wine tasting.
Canât risk it
The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.
