if your nail partly chips off or something like put clear nail polish over it

I've returned from the war just several weeks ago. Having the brain concussion and severe PTSD, I've spent several months in neurological and mental hospitals. During my treatment and its specific impact, I've gained 20 extra kilos that considering my congenital heart conditions, are not the comfortable acquisition.

I'm doing my pool activities, but that's certainly not enough. So, i decided to monetize some outdoors activites, for example, walking. It is a good idea for both: mental and heart conditions. Do you have some ideas how such an activity can be monetized for at least covering basic expanses?

Recently, i've tried to redeem bottles (i'm living in a suburban mountains area, 5 minutes to the boreal forest) from a forest. However, doing this by foot for 5-6 hours gave me small amount of money (near 5-6 USD), considering that bottles ain't that expensive in Eastern Europe. It would work in case if I had a car.

Maybe you have some ideas what can I do?

Undoubtedly barn doors make your home more stylish. But the question is how to make a barn door? Here we have a guide that shows how to make a sliding barn door. Also, this guide list down the required materials & hardware for making barn doors for your home.

Change is difficult, especially when it’s us that's trying to make it happen. We all want to be happier, calmer and more free - but do we need to become someone else, a better person, in order to do it?

Its very comforting to do what we’ve always done. It takes much less effort, we barely have to be conscious at all to watch TV or go on social media. There is a huge power in routine - a momentum that carries us onto old familiar paths even when we’re trying to do something different. For example, if we’re trying to meditate every morning, it can be difficult to get ourselves up out of bed a few minutes early to do it.

So do you need to be superwoman to forge a new path? Do you need to become a new person to make changes that will make your life calmer or happier? You’ll be glad to hear that the answer is no. The key is not to become attached to a dream of a radically changes you in the future - trying to force big change tends not to be successful. Instead look for small decisions in the here and now that you can set up a trigger for. Small changes and slightly better choices add up to big change over time anyway.

Let’s say that you want to do a little regular stress reduction every day. That could be taking three breaths where you fully focus your awareness. I’ve set a wallpaper on my phone so that when pick my phone up I remember to stop and breathe. Doing this enough times will set the habit so that you’ll begin to notice your breath before you even pick up your phone.

They key is to think about what would make your life calmer and happier, pick a small change, set up a trigger (ideally every day) and let the habit do the rest. With a routine built up around it, it will stop feeling like a chore and just a normal thing you do. The key is, from the beginning, to try not to see it as a chore and genuinely enjoy it. If its meditation then take joy in your practice, joy in sitting and breathing. If its going for a walk, enjoy the fresh air and the trees. If its cleaning then enjoy the experience fully.

Once you’ve got that one thing ingrained and part of your routine over a few weeks, start thinking of the new thing. When you take yourself off autopilot and look at your life with beginners eyes, you can always find one small change that will make it better. You just have to take it slow, let things unfold over time and above all, be kind to yourself. Remember that happiness is a path, not a destination. Don’t worry about becoming the optimal you tomorrow, enjoy today.

You might have tried meditation in the past and found that its not really working for you - there’s lots of reasons why people struggle but the benefits are so great for your mental health it’s really worth persisting. Here are some of the most common:

Meditation isn’t working for me - it doesn’t make me feel calm

To see the benefits of mindfulness meditation takes time - if you practice regularly you can expect to see changes to your mood and stress level in a month to six weeks. To maximise the chances of this you want to do this a little bit every day.

But most people know this, they know it’s not instantaneous; what I think people struggle with is being alone with their thoughts. Many of us are just not used to it - we fill our time with activities and consumption to the point that we spend very little time still and quiet. So the first time we try and do it, its terrifying. There’s all of these thoughts flying around, some of which are very difficult to hear. Much easier to stick the TV on and drown them out - for a while. But if you give yourself a chance you can allow these difficult thoughts to pass without grabbing on to them, allow your mind to gradually settle. Which leads on to number two…

I can’t settle - I just have too many thoughts

If your head is full of thoughts that's fantastic, there’s no better time to meditate than when you have a busy mind. Remember that we’re not trying to clear our mind - we’re simply noticing and accepting our present experience and allowing ourselves to physically and mentally calm. The reason why a guided meditation is typically 20 minutes long is because it takes 15 minutes for this settling process to take place.

There’s no need to rush this, you can simply let it happen by itself in its own time. All you have to do is to be still, quiet and make your best effort to focus your awareness on your breath, your body, your thoughts, wherever the guided meditation is leading you. You don’t need to hold your attention perfectly - your mind will wander at times - however to see the benefits of mindfulness you don’t have to be perfect at it, you only have to do your best.

I do understand though, when I’m stressed and my mind is busy I don’t feel like meditating. On Monday I went to my mindfulness group and my head was all over the place, I thought that I'd never be able to settle. But, being patient with myself and persistent with focusing my awareness, sure enough, my mind did relax.

I can’t focus on my breath, it freaks me out

I’ve heard this a few times, its quite a common problem. Just remember that there’s lots of options for meditation that don’t involve focusing on your breath - mindful walking, mindful eating, guided meditations on images, loving kindness meditation.

I don’t have time, I’m too busy

It can be hard to develop a mindfulness practice around a busy life but I would suggest integrating it into your life rather than trying to crowbar it in. There’s lots of things we do every day that we can do slowly and mindfully like brushing our teeth, washing ourselves or cleaning.

We also need to ask ourselves why we’re overloading ourselves. We need to make space in our lives for our wellbeing, sometimes its seen as a badge of honour to be so busy you never have a minute to yourself (especially at work). Ask yourself if you really need to be this busy or if there things that you can stop doing, reduce working hours or hand responsibilities to other people. Of course you can’t do this with kids but there are guided meditations that are designed to be done with your children, you might be surprised how interested they are and its great for their mental health.

Its boring!

I love this one, partly because I can feel myself getting bored sometimes when I’m meditating. The good news is that if your mind is searching around for something to do, suggesting that you watch TV or go on social media and complaining that meditation is boring, congratulations! This is part of the process of settling and is completely normal. You are on the path.

I’m not spiritual / religious

That's fine, many people who practice aren’t spiritual, I certainly wasn’t when I started. For most people its a practical way of improving their mental health and nothing more. My view is that mindfulness is not about the supernatural - its about seeing the super in the natural, the joy in everyday life. You can easily forget the jargon, forget the bell, forget the chants, forget the roots in Buddhism - its about your current experience and your connection to the world. Its a really simple framework, you just have to put it into regular practice.

Meditation just isn’t for me

I always say that meditation isn’t for everyone and maybe you know someone who would never be convinced to try it. If you’re one of those people or know one of those people the one suggestion I would make is that you should find the form of stillness that works for you. Before I practiced I used to get stillness / calmness from fishing (sometimes called redneck meditation and I still consider myself a redneck). There’s loads of options - walking, gardening, creative activities. Everyone needs time to be still, quiet, away from screens and away from consumption.

I used to berate myself for mistakes, especially in the social setting. I would revisit things I had said and done again and again, calling using unkind words to describe myself. I criticised everything about myself and everything I did - I’m sure you’ve gone through periods of this too. I still have moments of feeling unworthy.

There’s lots of reasons why we’re harsh to ourselves - it can be a result of us internalising what we’ve heard before from other people or it could just be that its the culture where we live to be hard on yourself.

One of the key attitudes that helps us to live a happy life is non-judgement, accepting things as they are without putting our spin on things. Jon Kabat Zinn talks alot about the importance of this in his books - we categorise things as good, bad or neutral, we’re barely aware of it. We’re very quick to put ourselves in the ‘bad’ box. The point isn’t to only see ourselves in positive terms, its that we should let go of our self judgement entirely and accept ourselves as we are.

That's easier said than done as this process tends to be automatic. But we can train ourselves to be mindful of thoughts and feelings arising so that we don’t cling to them or get lost in them. If we’re disappointed in ourselves and we can feel our mind picking up the sledgehammer we can stop, we can breathe, notice those difficult thoughts arise and let them pass through our awareness.

Once we’ve trained ourselves to let these judgemental thoughts pass without grabbing onto them, we can start the process of understanding why we judge ourselves. Are we picking up the baton from someone else, possibly someone in our childhood? Are we applying the same standards to ourselves that we do to other people?

One of the most important ways we can be kind to ourselves is through language. Self talk is one of the key drivers of our mood and so we need to choose our words carefully. Imagine if you were talking to someone who felt they had made a mistake and you called them an idiot - you wouldn’t of course, because you wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings and its not OK to call people names. But we do it to ourselves!

Aim to have an inner voice of compassion, empathy and understanding - someone who’ll be there for you when you’re struggling. See your own suffering and let go of standards, especially perfectionism. Listen to yourself. Give yourself permission to simply be, as you are. You don’t need to be your best self, you don’t need to be anyone else, you only have to be you.

Another important practice for self care is feeling grateful towards yourself, its something that we don’t do enough of. Do good things for yourself like meditation, exercise, eating well and thank yourself for it. Noone looks after you more than you do, and you do a better job than you think. There’s so much that we do that’s self care that we barely notice, things are important for our physical wellbeing and our mental health. For example taking a shower - enjoy it slowly with mindful awareness and feel some gratitude towards yourself when you’re finished. Same with cleaning the kitchen or making a meal. Why not set the intention now to find three things every day this week that you’re going to feel grateful towards yourself for. You might be surprised at the impact it can have on your self perception.

Finally, keep in mind that your pain and suffering is universal. It might sound a bit grim but a certain amount of suffering is part of life. But you are not alone. It binds us together as human beings and gives us solidarity. Your suffering is my suffering, my suffering is your suffering. We can be there for each other. One of the most important ways you can be kind to yourself is not to be silent or hide away. You can let other people see your suffering.

I'm going to my school in person tomorrow and I'm feeling Hella sick rn. It constantly feels like I'm going to throw up, but then all I get is a nasty burp or it just go back down. I don't know if my body is just stopping me from vomiting because it's scared or somethings wrong. I'm just hurting right now. But just in case I do happen to feel like this and im on the verge of vomiting, how do I stop it? I'm going to be taking a test so in a chair and I see tips telling me to lay down or to eat something, but none of that is an option. I just need some help idk even know if this is right place to post. But thanks. Nevermind I ended up staying home and now my stomach just feels like it folded in half. I already threw up from how much pain i was in. So that's solved. Thanks anyways

I’ve had (and continue to have!) plenty of bad habits and I know that giving them up can be very difficult. I used to smoke in my younger days - I had started working in a call centre, fixing people’s printers over the phone and the only way you could get out for a break was if you smoked. So being the sensible, rational person that I was in my early twenties, I became a smoker. Very good for making friends, less good for my lungs.

In many ways what we’re trying to do by changing our habits is to address the poor decisions we made in our youth. Its easy to beat yourself up for the habit you’ve developed - I certainly did over smoking, thinking “why on earth did I start this?” but you don’t have to. Be kind to yourself - like everyone else you were doing the best you could given the circumstances of your life.

So what can we do to address our craving with kindness? One of the key concepts is the idea of impermanence, nothing stays as it is and everything is in a constant state of transformation, including our mental state. How we feel right now in this moment always passes, even though when we’re experiencing something powerful we might believe will last forever.

When we desire a cigarette, or food or alcohol it can feel all consuming, but remembering that our feelings are impermanent will help us to ride the storm and focus on our breath. You don’t need to hold on for all that long for cravings to pass - a few minutes is usually enough, so if you commit to waiting for ten minutes when desire arises, you’ll probably give yourself enough time for the feeling to pass.

And we can also notice what feelings we have connected to our craving and gain insight how they feed into our everyday life and conversations. What was arising for me was anger when I was giving up smoking, I was incredibly irritable. Other people are understanding of what you’re going through of course but we have to be careful and take an extra breath before we speak and react when we’re getting used to living without our vice. I didn’t do this enough and my poor brother who I was sharing a flat with had to put up with me. Sorry bro… but I am grateful for all the support you provided.

And its critical to surround yourself with people that are supportive of the choices you’re making. If you want to quit drinking and all of your friends are drinking buddies who want to continue as they are then its probably time to expand out your social network. Join groups around new wholesome activities you want to try, for example hiking, creative activities or a meditation group.

Finally, accept your habits and the energy that they have. You’ve been living with them for a long time, its not easy to forge a new path so don’t expect things to change immediately. I needed several attempts to quit cigarettes and its important not to let perfect get in the way of progress - by which I mean don’t throw in the towel when you lapse back into old ways. Accept that its not easy and changing your habits may need several attempts. When you lapse and consume again, do it with your full awareness - this means seeing the impact it has on you as you’re consuming it. Don’t go back to having a mindless smoke in front of the TV, pay attention and see the interconnections. It’ll make picking up the baton again all the easier.

I was going running a few months ago and was listening to a favourite podcast of mine by Adam Buxton. As I was bumbling along at my slow pace I noticed that everyone seemed strangely happy to see me. People were smiling and waving - this was not the usual reaction from strangers where I used to live. I was getting really confused until I realised that the comedy podcast I was listening to was making me laugh and smile - that was producing a the warm reaction from other people.

And its not just other people who benefit from our grin. When we smile our body releases hormones that improve our mood and endorphins that reduce pain and stress. It also reduces our blood pressure and can even help us to live longer.

Unfortunately for me I have one of those resting grumpy faces - I don’t naturally smile, I really have to concentrate to do it. But consciously making ourselves smile is something that I would encourage you to do when we sit on the old cushion to meditate. Part of the posture of meditation, as well as getting a nice upright position, is to allow what Thich Nhat Hanh calls a ‘ gentle half smile’ to emerge on your face. It helps to settle us, relax us and focus our awareness.

Of course, we don’t feel like smiling all the time. The suggestion that we should smile to our difficult emotions is might sound unwelcome or even aggravating. You wouldn’t expect to smile to a terrible experience or dismiss how we feel about it - but when we smile to our emotions we’re not dismissing them, in fact we’re accepting how we feel as OK and normal. We’re also reducing the damage and suffering that difficult emotions can create.

Finally, one of the most important aspects of the human experience is being part of a community. Thich Nhat Hanh calls loneliness the ill-being of our time and one of the ways we can prevent it is to make ourselves as approachable as possible. When we smile we draw people towards us - its contagious and people feel more comfortable engaging you in a conversation. This ripple effect has the potential, over time, to transform relationships and help to create a strong supportive network around you.

Have you ever had an intrusive, unsettling thought pop into your head that just seemed to come out of nowhere? It may be fairly disturbing and you might feel like a bit of a freak or a weirdo as a result. Well, guess what - you’re not!

Intrusive/disturbing thoughts can take many forms - sometimes it can be based on fear (for example, the idea that you have a disease), anger (it might be a violent thought or a thought of self harm), inappropriate sexual thoughts, something around relationships or death. When they arrive they worry us, they can make us ask if there’s something wrong with us. Its usually something that's fundamentally at odds with who we are, what we believe and what we want to do - for example the thought of jumping off when you’re near a cliff.

And this actually helps us to understand why we experience disturbing thoughts. Many people (including me) experience the thought of jumping off when you’re near a cliff, but the intrusive thought usually isn’t our mind trying to get us to act in a particular way, rather its our mind getting us to do the opposite. We’re afraid of doing something appropriate in public so we have a thought to do something inappropriate. We want to be safe from harm, so our mind asks us “what would happen if you jumped off this cliff” - to get us to back away from the edge. They can also just be a random, meaningless stream of consciousness. Intrusive thoughts are common and not a sign that there’s something wrong with you.

We can choose to see these thoughts as just that - only thoughts. In fact, intrusive or disturbing thoughts can be a helpful reminder that we are not our thoughts, they are simply something that we experience. We shouldn’t judge ourselves for having these thoughts, we shouldn’t try to fight with the thoughts or shut them out - that will only make them come more often and its where they draw their power from. Instead, we can unlock the door, let them in and accept that they exist without judgement. Sit with them for a moment. Listen to what they have to say without agreeing or disagreeing and allow them to leave, which they inevitably do. If they come again, we can do the same thing. Remember that trying to push them away is a form of attachment - we’re attached to the idea of being free of the thoughts and so we want to somehow purge them. Unfortunately that's not how our brain works - in fact the resistance is likely to make the intrusive thoughts come more often.

Its also important not to let intrusive, disturbing thoughts feed into a pattern of consumption - unwanted thoughts can drive us to look for ways to distract ourselves. Instead look at the fundamentals of your life; are you stressed out at the moment, are you spending more time alone than you usually do? Are there changes you can make that contribute towards your calmness - can you do less of the things that you know increase your anxiety or sadness like caffeine or alcohol, more of the wholesome activities that develop your wellbeing like exercise, meditation and creative activities?

Caveat - I'm not a mental health professional so do look for help from a therapist if intrusive thoughts are disrupting your daily life and making it difficult to function.

I’ve always thought that people are a lot like countries: some countries appreciate sovereignty and are collaborative and diplomatic, others less so. They don’t respect where their territory ends and another state’s begins, they don’t seem to care about the suffering and anxiety that their incursions cause. People can be like this too. A society or community is a lot like the UN, where we’re all just trying to get along but there's always one that insists on making life difficult.

In my younger days I was quite a passive person and I found it very difficult to say no. This was partly due to my social anxiety and fear of conflict / disapproval, which I still have to an extent. The difference between then and now was that I wasn’t really aware of my anxiety which meant that I wasn’t truly in control of my choices and was easily pushed around by other people, partly because of the environments I grew up in. In my late 20s I then veered in the opposite direction, where I was seeing threats everywhere, didn’t trust people and took a few pre-emptive strikes I shouldn’t have . But it’s not necessary to be aggressive to set clear boundaries with people. Its much easier and more likely to succeed if it’s done in a firm but compassionate way.

And it’s critical for your wellbeing to be able to say no. If we get attached to the approval of others and we can only be happy when we have it, that’s a recipe for suffering. You can end up in a loop constantly doing - for example a job that becomes more and more stressful - or trying to please other people all the time, which of course is impossible. We need to look deeply into that desire we have and where it comes from, hold it in our awareness and - over time - choose to let it go.

But what are some practical steps we can take to help us set boundaries in the here and now? The first step is seeing when your boundaries are being crossed. If you come away from conversations feeling anxious or angry, feeling you are being judged unfairly or being coerced into doing something that you don’t want to do, then its important to stop, breathe and reflect. Strong feelings are a great opportunity to gain insight - if you experience feelings of anxiety, anger or sadness after a conversation, sit yourself down and spend 20 minutes focused on your breath. You don’t necessarily have to focus on what your feeling; you just need to calm your mind and your body and allow the insights to come. Getting into the practice of doing this will reveal to you what your feelings are trying to tell you.

If you’re not used to setting boundaries with people, try starting with small things. Experiment with expressing your preferences in different ways on little, uncontentious things so you can get used to saying no and feeding back. For example, if you know you will be asked to do things in work that are lower priority and you don’t have time for, have a line ready - “I understand that this is important to you but I don’t have capacity to do that right now.” Find a form of words that works for you, practice saying it yourself, then practice pushing back on small things.

When you’re ready to step up to bigger things, there are a few things to bear in mind. Its better to set out that you’re not comfortable straight away than say its fine and push back later. Get into the practice of being aware of how you’re feeling and expressing that in a non-judgemental way in the moment. “I feel uncomfortable with what you’re asking me.” Being in touch with how you’re feeling can be very difficult for some people, but your practicing being aware can help greatly - you can set a timer on your phone and stop, breathe and scanning how you are.

Expressing your feelings in a way that doesn’t accuse or judge the other person will allow you to set boundaries without damaging the relationship. Consistency is key - if you haven’t pushed back before then people might be confused or unhappy. They might think they just need to argue more, but you can listen, breathe, notice any feelings you have from the conversation (maybe anxiety), accept that feeling without being led by it and calmly restate your position.

You might feel some guilt and worry - what if the other person is really annoyed at me? What if they don’t want to be friends anymore? It’s important to be aware that some people will use this anxiety as a way to get what they want from you. This is not a judgement on people who do this - everyone ends up the way they are through their traumas and experiences. Feel compassion for the person that you’re in conflict with, it will genuinely empower you to draw the lines you need to.

But if people cannot accept you sharing how you feel, if they cannot accept you setting reasonable parameters on what is acceptable then you might consider taking a step back from that relationship, at least for a while. Saying no is not an invitation for abuse - if you’ve experienced emotional abuse in the past you may be unconsciously accepting of it in the present. Be aware of this. Abuse of any kind is never acceptable, no relationship can ever justify it.

To summarise - start with small steps, train yourself to be aware of your feelings, build and rehearse your language of pushing back and understand when your past experiences are influencing your present relationships. More than anything else - be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up for struggling with setting boundaries. Its hard, it takes time and practice, I know from experience. But I also know from experience that you can do it.

Be nice to workers.

I know this won’t be seen by many. The cashier making min wage behind the counter, cashing you out, doesn’t make the prices. They don’t control the store. They probably have a crappy manager who doesn’t care.

But you know what? They’re there. If they weren’t, you couldn’t get your beer, gas, drinks, cigarettes or whatever you stopped in there for.

They know when you’re having a bad day. And that’s fine. Not everyone is gonna have a good day. They’re there to make sure your day is a little better.

Taking your piss poor attitude out on them, because guess what, you’re not the only one. Wears them down.

Oh they shouldn’t have that job? You think it’s okay to treat people with disrespect?

Who cares if you got carded? They’re doing their job. You drive there, right? Why don’t have an a drivers license?

Your favorite soda pop is out? Look at the line of people berating the cashier? The same cashier that has a smile on her face and pain in her eyes.

I’ll let you in on A little secret. Not all people working have to work. Some enjoy it. If it wasn’t for that person working, the store may be closed due to lack of staff.

If you get mad over no getting your favorite drink, look at the ones counting change to fill their tanks.

If you get mad because you can’t play the lotto. Look at the long of people who are going into work. And there’s one cashier running to registers, to make sure you get in and out as quickly as possible.

Hi everyone! Quick announcement: We now have powerups in this subreddit! I don't expect us to receive any powerups, as we're a pretty small community, but I just thought I'd announce it. Anyway, enjoy, and have a great day!

You probably don't need to worry too much about a regular spider bite unless you have an allergy. But a poisonous spider is a different story. Allergic reactions from venomous spiders are more severe. The venom of a black widow spider, for example, causes immediate pain at the bite site and then spreads to other areas of the body such as the chest and the abdomen.

Venomous spiders are easy to identify by their pattern. For instance, a black body with red "hourglass" coloration on the underside of its abdomen signifies a black widow.

For example, when you give your dog some snacks, use a whistle to make a sound or snap your hands. Repeat that for the next 2 times. Now, your dog's brain will have formed a temporary link with the sound. Whenever it hears that sound, it will think "Food!" and run to you. But if you stop making that sound or keep making the sound when you are not giving it food, the link will break.

This engages many more areas of the brain (particularly the language centers) which creates a richer memory and makes it less likely you'll forget where you put it.
