The best way to treat yourself is to treat yourself in your love language. So for example, If your love language is acts of service, try doing small, intentional things that make your life easier because you deserve to feel supported by you. This is one of the ways you will feel most fulfilled. Also remember that we teach people how to treat us, by how we treat ourselves

Acts of service: Cleaning your space, prepping your meals, planning your week, booking needed appointments, taking your vitamins, setting reminders, doing what you said you would do

Quality time: Take walks, sit in silence, read a book you love, journal, turning off your phone, making time just for you

Receiving gifts: Buy yourself flowers, order your favorite food, invest in things that are meaningful to you, wear something special just because, gift yourself something thoughtful

Words of affirmation: Write yourself a love note, say nice things in the mirror, make a gratitude list, read affirmations daily, celebrate yourself

Physical touch: Apply body oil, yoga or stretching, warm baths, gua sha or face roller, hug yourself, get a massage

love yourself, you deserve it 🤍

A new global report released Monday by the U.S. Geological Survey revealed that every place on earth currently has the wrong amount of water. “New satellite data confirms that every corner of the earth has the incorrect quantity of water,” the report read in part, noting that even though the total amount of water on the planet seemed to be about right, give or take a few hundred milliliters, the distribution of that water across the globe was “way off.”

The best part is OP got fired because their boss asked why they weren’t “incorporating blockchain technology” into the video switcher they were building and OP straight up said “you have no idea what you’re talking about” and went to lunch

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

i grew up in a way where my loved ones weren’t able to meet my needs emotionally as a child for many, many reasons so i kinda stopped looking to them for it—esp because they’d punish me at times for needing them to soothe me. so i became responsible for my own self-regulation in times of frequent distress and got really good at and used to taking care of myself quietly and then stepping back into life, relationships, etc when i felt better. even more healed, i still need to step away from most conflicts to take a breather and process it on my own and come back but now i communicate it beforehand instead of just leaving so they know i’m bailing to regulate, not because i don’t care. i just do a lot better if i can take some space and work it out. now i’m not afraid i’ll be punished for asking for help or if i need soothing from my friends, but it does take like… months if not up to a year for me to feel like i can truly open up. it just really overwhelms my system and i feel sick and in danger when things are vulnerable and I’m not able to do it at my own pace.

^that exactly. also in laymans terms the idea is that if nobody gets close to me nobody can ever hurt me again. and when i do let people in they only prove over and over again that they can and will hurt me. so keeping them at arms length is a measure of self protection

Understanding that there is no objectively good art has many benefits, but a favorite of mine is being granted the ability to see that you hate corporate memphis for the same reason people hated fruitiger aero ten years ago, and that people will like corporate memphis ten years from now for the same reason you like fruitiger aero now: because it's the opposite of the thing that's in popular use right now, and reminds you of being ten years younger

Saw this on Pinterest but wanted to share bc actually I have had a physio recommend this to me and it’s been amazing!

Walking backwards strengths the muscles around your knee (esp the quadriceps, which you will definitely feel if you do this) but doesn’t put the same strain on the joint as forward walking or running. It’s very good for your balance, coordination and patellar tracking, all important to reduce knee pain, support your knees and can help rehab knee injuries.

I do it on a gym treadmill, usually at 1.2 km/h (but I’ve seen anywhere from 0.8-1.6 km/h recommended, which is like 0.5-1.0 mph for the Americans). You can start with a very slight incline and then slowly increase it 5% as you get more comfortable, and to help engage the muscles. I usually do this for 5 to 10 minutes, 3-4 times a week. My understanding is that you can also do it outside, either on flat or sloped ground, because just walking backwards itself is useful as hell (the incline is just useful to engage muscles more as you get more used to it)

If you have even a spare 20 minutes a week, this is seriously useful to support your knees, because there is nothing worse than injuring one

Bc I know there are many people on this website dealing with chronic pain and disability, I will add some studies below the cut on backwards walking (retro walking) as well. It's been investigated for quite a few things including knee osteoarthritis, lower back pain/instability and also balance improvement for people with hearing impairments, to name a few

You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.

Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.
