Does Antimatter Fall
Do you recall the tale of Galileo plunging objects from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to determine whether gravity applied to all objects equally? And an astronaut later proved it was true by hammering a feather into the Moon's surface due to that annoying air resistance back on Earth?
Matti PietarinenPublished about a month ago in HumansDiary of a Very Anxious Girl
So I have anxiety.. and it's getting worse. It is the most frustrating feeling for me. The worst thing a person who used to have it all under control and prides themselves on being able to handle any challenge, is for their body to shut down and freak out without a warning and seemingly out of nowhere. It was embarrassing initially. I didn't want to tell people. I felt shame. Real shame and disappointment in myself. I've been to the ER for major anxiety and/or panic attacks about four times in the past year.

In both professional and personal settings, criticism is an inevitable part of life. Whether it comes from a colleague, a friend, or a family member, criticism can be challenging to navigate but important to embrace if it is justifiable. However, it can be especially difficult when the criticism is unwarranted or unjustified. Therefore, it is crucial to show emotional restraint in these situations, even when it feels difficult, rude, or unfair.
Fun-Sized
I use distilled water often. For some reason the local groceries keep that water in troughs that magically push a new bottle into place when the one at the front of the line is purchased.

Doubt and fear are very strong feelings which plague our lives in numerous ways, having control over them would be a great superpower to have. I’ll preface all this by saying doubt and fear are natural reflexes which protect us from danger or making mistakes, without fear you’ll walk right up into the jungle and challenge a lion to a fist fight, and we all know how that will go. These emotions are legitimate and profitable to us, except that they can easily go overboard, and we find ourselves with an irrational amount of them.
Navigating the Balance: Toxic Positivity vs Genuine Optimism
I've been reflecting more lately about ways to be more intentional with my energy, and live my daily life with more purpose and productivity. In the midst of reflecting on this, I realized how important it is to really know the difference between toxic positivity and genuine happiness. I don't want to be disingenuous to myself, and pretend I'm all about being positive if I'm not feeling it. I choose to feel all of my emotions and go through the process of being human instead of giving myself trigger phrases like "You've got this!" and "Life's too short to be sad!" I get it, these are great messages to hear and tell others, but personally, I feel they just aren't 100% realistic.

Ah, bad habits – those sneaky little devils that cling to us like stubborn barnacles on the hull of a ship. We've all got 'em, whether it's biting nails, procrastinating like a professional dilly-dallier, or binge-watching Netflix until our eyeballs resemble overcooked spaghetti. Breaking these habits, however, is like trying to wrestle a greased pig at a county fair: slippery, exhausting, and more often than not, ending in defeat. So, dear readers, buckle up for a rib-tickling expedition into the labyrinthine world of bad habits and why kicking them to the curb is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
Amanda HillPublished about a month ago in HumansA miracle, a sprout, and a badass walk into a bar...
One of my favorite things I ever read was this: Don’t quit five minutes before the miracle happens. I couldn’t tell you for the life of me when or where I read that- I maybe I even heard it somewhere- but I have it written in my office, and I come back to it over and over again. It might even be the most inspirational piece of advice I’ve ever received from the universe because any time I get impatient, anxious, or start losing steam, I can come back to that. And right now, I need that.
