I once read 3 pages of a self help book I received as a present.
It said, essentially, emotions happen for a reason. When you have a difficult emotion, go back to the root thought or observation that caused the emotion, and you’ll learn something important about yourself or your world.
Stopped reading because I wanted internalize that first. Never finished the book...
I was appalled first time I had to pick apart a mess made by SVN on a branch.
I’ve made peace with git now, but struggled with the many different ways of getting things done in git.
The greatest and most poorly communicated benefit of TDD right there.
So, no help for most trans people.
Took a couple months to feel 'safe', and not have to constantly check my pants weren't in the way.
Never got comfortable enough to read on the toilet.
Many, many times :)
The author and his claims can be discredited if someone here can cite such a study.
My folks are involved with farming mussels in New Zealand. The farms are in a river mouth, putting the nitrogen and phosphate runoff from farms to good use. The phytoplankton they eat is replenished 500m down-current from the mussels.
There's one major risk - the 'spat' - the baby mussels used to start a vertical mussel line - are harvested when they're washed up on a beach. Sometimes, there's no spat and no one knows why. The concern is that climate change will result in less, or no spat, and then no more mussel aquaculture.
I think it's important to internalize this idea.
Whenever you hear of a violent and sickening act, ask yourself: under what circumstances would I do that?
Answering 'never' is a failure of imagination. Engaging honestly with this question is the path toward solving the problem of our capacity for harm.
I personally discovered that writing things down helps me think about them. I take copious notes for meetings and phone calls.
I've tried typing instead, but there's something about dragging a pen across the page that makes my brain work. Some others have the opposite experience.
"Why the hell you doing that," is what everyone asks. I didn't always, I just found it helped.
Eventually, I found I hated my handwriting so much I went to the trouble of doing some drills to improve it.
Music is one of the traditional 'learning to think' disciplines, along with grammar, logic, mathematics, and has a lot to offer in this regard.
And I wish you success with your personal mission.
I realised something after having with someone who likes cleaning. A clean house made me feel better.
Not just the way it looks, but untidiness translated into a tiny little worry-bubble in the back of my mind.
I realised I felt free in a way I hadn't before. So now I clean.
My point is: devote an hour a day to any endeavor and you'll go far.
The whole point of the gut bacteria investigation is understanding why the lifestyle you've described doesn't lead to weight loss for some people.
