When Emotional Trauma Shakes Your Sense of Self—How to Regain Your Balance/
What Is Emotional Trauma?
The reach of emotional trauma is far and wide. Meaning, there are no clear-cut situations that define it. In a nutshell, though, emotional trauma is any type of deeply distressing or disturbing situation or series of situations that disrupts your overall well-being.
For example, working for a toxic boss may be a traumatic experience for you. After months or years of abuse under their thumb, you may feel your overall well-being decline. Unhappiness, depression, and hopelessness may even sink in.
Another example could be experiencing a loss. It may be that you lost your job, a loved one passed away, a bitter divorce, or even the death of a beloved pet, to name a few.
As noted at the outset, emotional trauma happens in many ways, but no matter how it happens, it cuts very deep.
Identifying a Shaken Sense of Self
Emotional trauma cuts so deep, in fact, that you may even feel your heart sink to your toes. Of course, this is biologically impossible but the feeling is real.
More than anything, emotional trauma often descends upon you in a way that makes you feel older, exhausted, hopeless, and joyless. Actually, the leviathan of emotional trauma resembles symptoms of depression a lot.
Some keys to spotting a shaken sense of self include:
You no longer find pleasure in hobbies or activities
You frequently second-guess your decisions
Your confidence level has significantly declined
You've stopped setting goals or chasing dreams
Your eating and sleeping habits have changed
You're more easily persuaded and often indecisive
Your personal sense of style has slipped away
You no longer try hard or even hope for the best outcome
Many people report looking in the mirror and not recognizing the face looking back at them. Yes, emotional trauma can impact you that strongly.
How to Regain Your Balance
Although a shaken sense of self can feel like the pits, regaining balance is doable. It's just not going to happen overnight.
Consider some of the things you can do to help you regain balance by focusing on three areas:
Firstly, it's vital to reset your autonomic nervous system so you physically begin to feel like yourself again. Emotional traumas have a way of setting you on edge 24/7.
A therapist can help you find the best way to reclaim your calm. However, deep breathing, meditation, and positive affirmations are a few favorite strategies you can try by yourself.
Because emotional trauma can shake your sense of self, you may lose certain beliefs or views about the world. As a result, you may also discard ideas about yourself. Confidence is usually the first to go.
To re-establish trust in others and yourself, find moments of connection. To connect to yourself may sound complicated, but really it's just getting to know again what really matters to you—your core values.
In the shuffle of trauma, these sorts of elements tend to be left by the wayside. Regaining balance means living more purposefully, battling the push and pull of trauma.
Feelings of numbness, hopelessness, fear, or anger may consume a large part of your emotional energy. In short, emotional trauma can cause massive internal pain.
Healing your emotions after emotional trauma requires not just time, but it calls for you to acknowledge some really uncomfortable feelings. Though, it's not necessary to dwell on them or let them gobble you up. Rather, acknowledge your feelings and let them pass through you.
Recovering from a traumatic experience doesn't just "happen." There's no magic to it. When you work together with your entire being, however, you employ an unrivaled power of human resilience.
Certainly, there are good days and bad days as on any journey. But consider employing professional help and find out how trauma counseling may help you reclaim your sense of self. I would like to help. Please contact me today to learn more about the healing journey.

Chuck Berry continued to play 70 to 100 one-nighters per year in the 1980s, still traveling solo and requiring a local band to back him at each stop. In 1986, Taylor Hackford made a documentary film, Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll, of a celebration concert for Berry's sixtieth birthday, organised by Keith Richards, in which Berry reveals his bitterness at the fame and financial success that Richards achieved on the back of Berry's songs. Eric Clapton, Etta James, Julian Lennon, Robert Cray and Linda Ronstadt, among others, appeared with Berry on stage and film. During the concert, Berry played a Gibson ES-355, the luxury version of the ES-335 that he favored on his 1970s tours. Richards played a black Fender Telecaster Custom, Cray a Fender Stratocaster and Clapton a Gibson ES 350T, the same guitar Berry used on his early recordings.

Julian Cribb, the former CSIRO scientist and author of the books, Poisoned Planet and The Coming Famine, shared his thoughts at the 29th International Horticultural Congress (IHC) in Australia last week. Mr Cribb delivered the opening address on the topic of global food security with some stirring words for the audience.
Food is one of the most creative acts we perform as humans, and horticulture is at the heart of that creativity. How well we do it, will define the human future now and for all time. Never has world cuisine been so diverse or so far short of its true potential.
The city itself is poised to change. Green cities alive with vegetation, fresh food, birds and insects will replace the polluted, soulless, concrete and glass urban-scapes of today. They will ensure a highly diverse, local food supply that never fails. This will bring immense relief to the stress now imposed on the world's soils, water, biodiversity and damaged landscapes. For the first time, humanity will be able to feed itself without plundering the natural world.

What Does Dragon Tote Betting Mean?
Firstly in case you join The Tote by clicking the hyperlink below they will credit you a free ten bet as soon as you have bet through your initial 10 with them. The Tote is the sole bookmaker in Britain that is permitted to offer parimutuel betting on horse racing. Unless you're using the TOTE, you always have to place equal, or more on the WIN part of the bet.
New Questions About Dragon Tote Betting 드래곤 토토
There is a variety of of-betting offered by the bookmakers all around the world. All you have to do is discover an online bookmaker or betting site that support Tote Placepots, register, and earn a bet. With the introduction of the exchanges, an increasing number of bookmakers are starting to offer `place only' markets in a try to rival the exchanges. As other bookmakers can provide similar gambling services, it's required to disambiguate the bets. Fixed odds bookmakers aren't obliged to accept business (and they frequently do not!)
Ruthless Dragon Tote Betting Strategies Exploited
The bonuses offered are equally as excellent as many of the more critical sportsbooks. Typically the payouts are incredibly significant for the Jackpot as it's rather hard to choose six winners in a row. Because it's so hard to do, the payouts tend to be quite significant. Since you may see, the possible payouts are all different. As it can be rather tricky to win, you can expect substantial payouts. Your winnings can accumulate very fast. Tote Exacta The exacta bet is the point where the stakes begin to rise as do the possible winnings with punters needed to choose the initial two horses home in the proper order.
Unlike several other types of sports betting, pari-mutuel wagering is entirely legal in virtually every region around the world. Every pari-mutuel wager put on a betting market goes into a particular pool for this marketplace. In different parts of the world, it is a wager on a selection to finish any place in the places. In the event, the bet consists of a non-runner the chance gets void and unnamed favorites are not permitted. The minimum bet is just two pounds. So follow the link below and see what other free bets you may claim you could not have even been aware of.
The New Angle On Dragon Tote Betting Just Released
Calculating the expense of your Placepot bet is easy. Put the very first bet, and should you win, parlay the amount on the next race and horse. There is a plethora of information readily available to improve your handicapping arsenal (most of it free).
All you need to do is multiply the range of horses you pick in each race by each other. Choose a horse that you think will finish first, and then any range of horses to finish second. You may also mix the number of horses you select.
A Startling Fact about Dragon Tote Betting Uncovered
To win, you only need to select a single horse and have its place. Additionally, the simple fact that horses don't will need to win the general race for you to win is far more convenient and provides you with a real opportunity to succeed. If you want (and several individuals do), you can select more than one horse to place in every race. https://www.majortoto789.com/totosite.html
You'll discover some tracks, owners, trainers, and possibly even horses produce trends. To work out the price of your Placepot bet, you will need first to decide how much horses you need to select for each one of the first six races. It's possible to pick over two horses here, but that will naturally increase the initial stake. Then, based on the opportunity, working out in the event, the horse will exceed expectations. A Placepot selection is regarded as a banker bet if it's the sole horse you choose in the race. An individual may choose the favorite instead of naming a particular horse.
In Jackpot, you need to select a horse in the first six races, and if all of them win, you do too. While it might seem complicated and daunting trying to choose horses on your very first try, you'll quickly learn how to select the best horses to win a good payout. You gain so long as your chosen horses place which, based on the range of horses participating in the race, is far easier than having to pick the general winner. Prioritize that over the fastest or favorite horse, and you will be more inclined to win. our site
Maybe one race is secure so that you desire a banker in race 1. Scoop6 races will change from week to week. Tote betting has ever been connected with horse racing. Whether you're a beginner to horse racing or an expert, there are a few information and rules that you will have to know about horse racing to produce informed bets.

It's Superhero Theme Week, and Iron Man 3 fits right in with a not-so-super hero ready to save the girl and the country with a full repertoire of tricks and cheesy one liners. Tony Stark is battling demons of his own creation, and his arrogance places him once again in the sights of a villain with a personal grudge—providing the important lesson that when you issue a challenge to a really bad guy—don't give him your home address.
Other terrific Christian geek podcasts are covering the superhero theme this week. Check them out and join the fun:
Spoiler Free Review
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be said about this movie without spoiling it. In my opinion, it was the best of the three Iron Man movies, definitely better than Iron Man 2. It's full of action and has a high entertainment value. In plot and structure it's actually more similar to Iron Man, for once again we get to see Tony Stark applying his genius in less than ideal circumstances. But this Tony is much more damaged and working toward a redemption that he can't quite envision or grasp.
Iron Man 3, like most of the Marvel films, has a large degree of violence and parts of this particular flick could be nightmare inducing for imaginative children. I would strongly urge parents to watch the movie before deciding whether it was appropriate for their children. However, Iron Man 3 (IM3) is possibly tamer in the sex and skin than its predecessors—but that is, of course, relative.
Be sure to check out Plugged In's family-friendly review (which amazingly enough does not spoil major plot points of the movie).
Beware, the rest of this post will contain serious movie spoilers!
I'm not kidding . . . don't read any further until you've seen the movie.
Identity Crisis
By definition, a superhero is a comic strip character who has superhuman or magical powers and wears a distinctive costume while fighting evil. Interestingly enough, Tony Stark does not fulfill all those requirements. He isn't superhuman or magical, and in Iron Man 3, he doesn't even wear his distinctive costume through much of the movie. Interestingly enough, he also seems to be one of the Marvel superheros who doesn't keep his alter-ego a secret.
Tony is having a hard time recovering from the events in New York with the Avengers. Just a mention of New York gives him anxiety attacks.
I'm a piping hot mess. Nothing's been the same since New York. You experience things, things you can't explain . . . Gods, aliens, other dimensions . . . I'm just a man in a tin can.
"Does this subject make you edgy? Do you have PTSD?"
"I don't think so."
Just breathe. You're a mechanic, right? Why don't you just build something?
Tony is having a crisis of identity. "You know who I am" is on his name tag in the flashback and the transition to the present has him saying that "These days I'm a changed man. Well, you know who I am."
"Is that Iron Man?"
"Technically, I am. . . ."
"And you are?"
"The Mechanic, Tony."
Even though Tony affirms that HE is Iron Man, he seems to have a hard time thinking of himself that way when he's not wearing the armor. So without the suit, he becomes a type of MacGyver, using his genius to solve problems using whatever is at hand.
At the end of IM3, Tony claims that his armor was a cocoon, but reaffirms that he is Iron Man, even after he had destroyed all of his suits. Perhaps he has broken free from the cocoon and become Iron Man in the flesh.
My armor was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon. I'm a changed man. They can take away my house, my tricks, and my toys, but one thing they can't take away from me . . . I am Iron Man
Interesting trivia. God calls Himself "I AM" when He reveals Himself to Moses. Just about everywhere where God addresses someone in the Bible, He reiterates Who He is: "I am the Lord your God."
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
But really the biggest requirement of a superhero is a super villain to stand up to; the evil part of the definition. Without super villains, superheros are just strange people in weird costumes—no matter what their power is. And just like in Iron Man 2, the villain in Iron Man 3 is someone who has been wronged by Stark (this time, Tony, not his father).
Some people call me a terrorist, I consider myself a teacher.
"You are a maniac."
"No, I'm a visionary. I own a maniac."
You can't have it both ways
Talked about this in my last Did You See That? segment. But here it is again. "Scientists play God in the laboratory . . . and then call it evolution.
Empty slot in our minds . . . our entire DNA is destined to be upgraded. We can hack into the hard drive of any organism.
[Extremis] is the next iteration of human evolution. Addiction won't be tolerated. If you can't regulate, you'll be cut from the program.
Could the empty slot actually be an indication that something is missing, instead of an open slot for an upgrade? Applying the idea of the God-shaped hole to this fictional slot makes it take on a different meaning entirely—our sin has separated us from God and the only thing that can fill that gap in our beings is a reconnection with God.
Science corrupts . . . no, really!
Is there such a thing as pure science? Not when people are involved. We always have bias, we always have ulterior motives. We always have a worldview. It's interesting that this comes out so strongly in IM3.
What happened? We all begin wide-eyed, pure science . . . then obsession steps in . . . and you look up . . . you're a long way from shore.
"Extremis is practically stable . . . help me fix it." "You took his card." "I took his money." "You used to have a moral psychology, you used to have ideals. I get to wake up with someone who still has their soul."
The Mandarin was created because Killian needed someone to take credit for the accidental explosions.
Start something pure, something exciting, then mistakes and compromise . . . we create our own demons.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 (ESV)
The "religious" stuff
Believe it or not, there is some, though it's trite and badly used.
Knowing that the bombings that the Mandarin is taking credit for are actually failed Extremis subjects overdosing and exploding, it makes me wonder if the mentioned church bombing was actually an Extremis drop out seeking spiritual help.
Shadows are the souls going to heaven. The bomber went to hell, so he didn't get one.
The Mandarin talks like a Baptist pastor.
Jarvis, take them to church.
Daddy material?
"Mom just left for the diner. Dad went to get scratchers. I guess he must have won . . . he never came back. That was six years ago."
"Dads leave, no need to get pussy about it."
"Now you're just going to leave me here like my dad?"
"What? You're guilt-tripping me . . . Know how I know? We're connected."
Through his interactions with Harvey, Tony Stark shows himself to not be very good father material. Children need fathers who are present in their lives, not just things. Tony pays a debt to Harvey by providing him with cool toys from a far instead of stepping in and being present in his life.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 (ESV)
The Ultimate Superhero
When confronting Tony Stark in The Avengers, Captain America defined a hero as someone who is willing to make the sacrificial play to save others. There is no greater example of this than when Jesus Christ laid down his life for all men, that all might be saved if they repent of their sin. He is the ultimate superhero.

The server machine is the heart of the system. It must be powerful and responsive to distribute the best and as quickly as possible which projects the burden on individual nodes. The major drawback of this solution is to have to deal with any technical problems that may arise. The farm is expandable at will, depending on the need and budget.
Major brands such as HP and Dell offer render farm kits that are fully ready. These companies offer assistance, follow-up and after sales of high quality. However, all of these packages are hardly affordable.
Windows Explorer is the file manager that comes with the Microsoft Windows operating system. The manager allows, inter alia, to view and change the name of files and folders, manipulate files and folders (copy, move, delete), open data files, and launch programs. Windows Explorer is the program that displays the Microsoft Windows desktop, including the taskbar and Start menu.
Windows Explorer which was to completely separate origin of web browser Internet Explorer, appeared with Windows 95 as a replacement of the old file manager of Microsoft Windows as shown by Laptop Repair North Sydney.
The file manager used by Microsoft before 1995 was winfile.exe. It used a separate disk for each window. In contrast, using Windows Explorer, everything is grouped under a tree. From Windows 95, the file explorer has replaced the old Windows File Manager.
With the arrival of Windows 98, Windows Explorer became an Internet Explorer based, including using the navigation arrows to directory traversal. Explorer and Internet Explorer are usually called by separate shortcuts. In Windows Me, the navigation arrows are smaller than in Windows 98.
Optical disc burning
From Windows XP, the explorer allowed to write files to a CD -ROM. It allowed even burn DVD- RAM. On Windows Vista, Explorer allows burning (DVD ± R, DVD ± R DL, DVD ± RW R). This mechanism uses the IMAPI software library and Image Mastering API.
The default keyboard shortcuts are defined: to open My Computer directly in Windows Explorer (Windows + E keys) to minimize all windows and return to the desktop display (Windows key + D as Desktop office) to display the dialog box and perform a task (Windows + R keys, like run).
If a user leaves a few minutes and wants to avoid someone take this short absence to improperly use the session, it can lock the shortcut (Windows + L keys, as Lock, lock it in).
To view more specific than the default (folder "My Documents" of the connected user ) directory, there must be at the end of the command line the path of this directory. In this case, to see the second part (the tree on the left), insert the modifier. If there are issues, contact a Laptop Repair North Sydney

One experimental study report that NSAIDs like carprofen, meloxicam and deracoxib can change platelet function and as a result should not be administered prior to surgery to keep away from risk of bleeding. The cellular mend response system, an surprisingly advanced established of signals could, according to intuited research, be chemically damaged by NSAIDs, the prescribed drugs intended to reduce inflammation.
Even even though there are powerful prescription medications available to treat chronic pain and inflammation, they only offer momentary relief and often have unpleasant and potentially unsafe side effects. Promoting oxygenation of cells, stimulating power production in cells, enhancing overall flexibility of muscular tissues and improving mobility are some highlighting benefits of carrying out physiotherapy. According to the preliminary studies, which were being carried out using cell cultures and laboratory animals, turmeric supplement for acne - click through the up coming post, has anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory and anti-heart disease activity.
According to the Journal of American Chemical Society, the turmeric herb contains a variety of anti - mutagenic, anti - fungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti - inflammatory and anti - carcinogenic properties. It was seen for the duration of a study in women who experienced caesarean sections that the application of Turmeric product confirmed constructive effects on the velocity of their caesarean wound healing. The blend of turmeric and piperine are notably remarkable to other flavor blends considering that when these two satisfy up, offer the most elevated number of recuperating and disease staying away from properties.
There are much more than manuscripts published about curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, and about manuscripts added to this selection every single 7 days, according to the National Institutes of Health. This dual anti - oxidative motion is an excellent way to boost our body's antioxidative mechanism, consequently granting us better protection from several diseases, when concurrently slowing down aging. Moreover, these studies also found that adult men who took inflammation-reducing medicines or followed dietary styles that have been less likely to promote inflammation are at lower risk of prostate cancer.
Although the expression basically indicates joint inflammation, arthritis genuinely refers to a team of a lot more than rheumatic diseases and conditions that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Turmeric and depression have not been analyzed on a long - phrase foundation, but in week trials, contributors shown improved symptoms when taking turmeric alongside their antidepressant, Majumdar suggests.
By inhibiting amyloid plaque formation at the synapse where electrical impulses link different elements of the brain, memory is preserved, and symptoms of this devastating disease are minimized or eradicated. Nephropathy: Accumulating evidence suggests that infiltration of inflammatory cells into the kidney microvasculature causes the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy, the common cause of kidney failure and conclude-stage renal disease.
The behavioral modifications marked a decrease in neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and this additional potential customers to increase in inflammatory substances or pain linked chemicals like substance P. Some people might come across reduction with just just one acupuncture session, whilst some some others may possibly find improvement in their condition as they go via more acupuncture periods even though.

"Think what you think about me. Hate me or like me, just don't misunderstand me."
— Joaquin Phoenix, I'm Still Here (2010)
Bryant Jamal Golden (born November 16, 1993) is an American artist, writer, filmmaker, producer, and publisher. He won a Bronze Medal in Dan Poynter's 2016 Global Ebook Awards for Blue Moon Chronicles: The Complete Trilogy.
Early life
Golden was born in Los Angeles, California. He attended the Immaculate Heart of Mary School for four years, until transferring to public school in 2003. Golden then transferred from school to school in Los Angeles County until he was eventually homeschooled in Menifee, California, for six months. Golden dropped out of high school in 2011 and returned to Los Angeles to earn his Certificate of High School Equivalency. Golden has written about being bullied and feeling disconnected from his peers.
After attending a semester of college, Golden dropped out and spent five months writing what would eventually become Blue Moon Chronicles, Book I. Golden had no intentions of publishing the story or being acknowledged as a writer, but he changed his mind when he realized he had written a story that he enjoyed reading.
Golden's first novel, Blue Moon Chronicles, Book I, self-published in 2013, is an action and adventure story for young adults, inspired by his childhood imagination. Only months after his debut novel, he self-published the strange novella, Who-Knows-Where, to celebrate his decision to pursue writing as a career. The publishing rights of both titles were given to The Cavern Press in 2014, which rereleased both titles and gave Blue Moon Chronicles, Book I a subtitle: The Continent War. The sequel to The Continent War, Blue Moon Chronicles, Book II: The Blue Moon Mercenaries, was released by The Cavern Press later in 2014.
In 2015, The Cavern Press announced that the final Blue Moon Chronicles book would be released in November, but Golden lost most of the original manuscript when his computer's hard drive crashed, which delayed the release indefinitely until Blue Moon Chronicles, Book III: The Way the World Ends was released in March 2016. Later that year, The Cavern Press released Blue Moon Chronicles: The Complete Trilogy and it won the Bronze Medal for Fantasy/Other World Fiction in Dan Poynter's 2016 Global Ebook Awards.
Shortly after finishing his work on Blue Moon Chronicles, Golden announced his next novel's title, Ghosts: The Life and Death of Bryant Golden, stating that it would be a departure from his previous work. Though originally teased with a November 7, 2017, release date, Golden has since said that, "I really shouldn't have put such a specific date on the teaser. Ghosts will be done when it's done." Later, Golden wrote on Twitter that the next time he would speak of Ghosts, the story would be ready to publish and it would have a new title.
In 2018, Golden revisited Who-Knows-Where and The Cavern Press released the title as a novel on the five-year anniversary of the original novella's publication.
Although his novels have earned mostly positive reception, Golden has discussed that his mentality as a writer is that his best work is always ahead of him, and that his next project will naturally be better than his previous.
In 2019, Golden wrote, produced, and directed his first short film. Mourning Glory was filmed on location in Los Angeles, CA. Principle photography began on September 16, 2019. Principal photography wrapped on September 19, 2019. The final scene in the screenplay was filmed but immediately deleted by a security guard because Golden was on private property. Golden's plan, since his short film was cut even shorter, became to use what he had to try to secure a modest budget from producers, and remake Mourning Glory with the same cast but an actual crew. "I definitely fell in love with directing," he has since said, "but being in charge of everything about the production was stressful."
Other projects
The Cavern Press
The Cavern Press is a fiction publishing house founded by Golden in Los Angeles, California, in 2014.
After the self-publishing process for Blue Moon Chronicles, Book I and the original Who-Knows-Where novella, Golden founded The Cavern Press so that he could enjoy the publication process even if he stops publishing his own stories.
Progression of a Mad Writer
Progression of a Mad Writer is a documentary series Golden started in 2018. Golden uploaded new episodes from January to August of that year. The series concluded with a final episode celebrating the release of the Who-Knows-Where novel in June 2019, almost a year since the last upload. The series is available in its entirety on Golden's YouTube channel.
All-American Heartthrob
All-American Heartthrob (stylized in lowercase) is a period of time, started in 2019.
Personal life
Golden lives in Los Angeles, California, and is engaged to the artist Melanie Rae. Golden has dealt with depression and insomnia since he was a child. He is also a humanist.

If you think that you need a lot of money to practice self love, then this list of easy and affordable ways to practice self love is for you.
Are you in need of more self love? If you're not sure, there are signs and symptoms that you need more self love. If you find that you are in need of a little more attention, then there are many ways that you can practice self love.
When we start to look at Pinterest or Instagram and browse the self love hashtags, it might feel like it will cost an arm and a leg to practice self love. If spending lavishly on yourself isn't in your budget – it isn't in mine – then there's no reason to get discouraged because there are plenty of ways to practice self love in your life without breaking the bank.
It doesn't have to be about lavish experiences or shopping sprees. It can just be about being more present in your life and making things more clear and happy for yourself. If you want to show yourself more love this year, check out these simple and affordable ways to practice self love.
1. Keep Up with Personal Care
When you're feeling down, it can feel so much harder to take care of your daily personal care needs. Sometimes taking some time out to take care of those kinds of needs can be the boost that you need to pull yourself out of a dark place.
Taking a nice, relaxing bath in epsom salts can do wonders for pretty much anyone because it can help soothe away the stresses of daily life. Not only that, but when you take better care of yourself, you'll feel better and therefore look a lot better. It's always easier to look at yourself in the mirror when you know you're doing what you need to do to in order to take care of your personal needs.
Personal care can also include the cleanliness of your clothing. Do you find yourself going through piles of dirty clothes just to find something that smells "clean enough"? It's time to make laundry a priority.
After all of your clothes are clean, it's time to take a long, hot shower so you can clean yourself well. After you finish up with your shower, you'll be able to put on something comfortable from your freshly washed laundry. Be sure to be mindful and appreciate how wonderful clean clothes feel against your clean skin. Gratitude can do wonders for changing a mood.
2. Treat Yourself to a Healthy Snack
In the last few decades, a lot of people have been finding ways to make healthier and tastier snacks that people can enjoy without having to feel too much guilt. That can make treating yourself to a snack a fun and exciting (but not unhealthy) thing to do when you're in the mood.
Whether you buy some frozen or fresh fruits, or go to a specialty health food store locally to peruse their selection, nothing can put a smile on your face faster than a delicious and healthy treat that you enjoy.
3. Take Time to Get Organized
Take a look around you. What do your living and work spaces look like? When you're a busy person, it can be far too easy to get caught up in day-to-day events so frequently that you allow your organization skills slide a bit too far.
Did you know that having a cluttered environment can exert stress on your mind because your surroundings can influence how you feel about your life and can cloud your internal thoughts. Be sure to take some time every week to tidy things up and find places for the things that you use regularly to go.
It might also be a matter of simply getting rid of the many things that take up space that you don't even use anymore (if you ever did). Most of us have plenty of things in our homes that we don't actually need, so clean those up and move them out.
Once your view of your surroundings is less cluttered, then you will feel a lot less stress as you move through your days. This is especially true for people who work from home like me. It's best to keep your work space and sleep space separate if you possibly can. If that's impossible (like it has been for me lately), then a lot of time must be taken to keep your space efficient and happy.
4. Get More Sleep
Sleep is one of the most important parts of the day. It's essential to get rest because sleep is the time during which your body begins to repair itself.
I know that you know that already or you wouldn't insist that your kids need their sleep. The thing is, you need your sleep too. To be the best mom for your kids, you have to love and care for yourself as much as you love and care for them.
If you suffer from insomnia or have trouble sleeping, getting better night's sleep may require you to make some major changes to your habits. The book that has helped me the most with my sleep troubles is Say Goodnight to Insomnia.
5. Take Up a Mellow Hobby or Read
Sometimes people just need some time to exercise their mind, or just be entertained by their imagination. The best way to explore those ares is to find a hobby or find a new series of books that you can read during your down time.
For reading, I actually prefer to read books on Scribd now. It's a lot more affordable than some of the alternatives and more eco-conscious than buying hoards of paper books. I like self improvement books and parenting books, but I would like to find time to read more fiction again at some point. Before kids, I always had my nose in a book.
Precision hobbies like knitting, needlepoint, model building, painting and music are all great ways to express yourself while expanding your brain power. I like exploring different crafting modalities with my daughters.
I also find just spending time in nature is the perfect hobby for me. I like to sit quietly and listen to the nature sounds that surround me while I feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. It calms me down and brings me back to center instantly.
6. Start an Exercise Routine
This one should always be near the top of everyone's list, but people often forget how many benefits that working out can have and they make excuse after excuse about why they just don't have time.
Studies have known for ages that getting some exercise can be a great way to help your deal with stress and improve your mood. The endorphins that you get from physical activity can also make it easier for you to sleep.
Start with something simple like walking around the block with your kids. Go for a hike if you have trails nearby. Do yoga at home – my girls love to do yoga with me. Or do some basic exercise while you're at the park.
The key is to find something that you can take pleasure in. Sometimes it can take a couple of months to acclimate a new physical activity and start to enjoy it, so don't give up without giving each activity a chance.
These are just a few simple ideas on how you can start to practice more self love. As you can see, it's more about taking care of yourself as well as you take care of your family rather than overindulging.

Psalm 29 | Taylor
Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD, over many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.
May the LORD give strength to his people!
May the LORD bless his people with peace!
"Lord's Prayer" Rewrite | Taylor
Our Father who dwells in the heavens and on the earth, You are Holy. May heaven be a greater present reality here on earth, and may we choose to join you in making that happen. Provide us today with the things that you think we need, and may we not take for granted that which you have already provided for us. Forgive us for when we don't live as you intend, and may we be ready to forgive others when they don't live as we intend. Guide us in your wisdom away from the things that would distort us, and restore the parts in us that are already distorted. You are goodness, beauty and truth, may your love rule always.
Benediction | Taylor
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, hard hearts, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that you may seek truth boldly and live from deep within your heart where God's Spirit dwells.
May God bless you with anger: at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that we may reach out our hand in comfort and turn their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that through Jesus Christ we'll have the strength and power necessary to create change in this world and in our neighborhood, so that together we will courageously try what others claim cannot be done.
May God bless you with remembrance that we are called to continue God's redemptive work of love and healing in God's place, in and through God's name, in God's Spirit, continually creating and breathing new life and grace into everything and everyone we touch. Amen

The biggest threat to middle-aged male health could be loneliness
(ENTREPRENEUR) Men face a myriad of threats throughout their life but the greatest one they fight during their middle-aged years will surprise you.
Fortress of solitude
Loneliness. It's a health epidemic that may be even more dangerous than smoking or obesity.
It is a universal experience, yet also one that is kept under wraps to avoid being labeled what everyone fears being called: a loser.
Isolation has no bounds
Everyone can be affected by loneliness but what recent studies have shown is that it can be more prevalent in middle-aged men. With a career and sometimes a family to think about, spending time with friends is often put on the back-burner. It makes sense though.
Between a forty-hour work week, a relationship, and even kids to think about, who has time to dedicate to just hanging out.
Friends seem less of an obligation because seeing them is a choice. Often keeping touch on social media makes one feel like they have gotten their "friend-time" in for the week. However, that's still isolation. What is lacking is human interaction.
Not any easier
It gets even more complicated when there is no workplace at all. Freelancers and entrepreneurs face the same challenge no matter what their age or gender. Gone are the days when you can approach a stranger on the playground and simply ask "Can you be my friend?"
Making friends when you're older seems more difficult, as we assume that everyone is consumed with their own life or already have enough friend currency to spend.
When you work from home it takes on a new burden. You have to actually go out and meet people, random people, without any promise that you will see them again. Just the thought is discouraging, which is why many people find themselves in isolation out of pure convenience.
Don't go it alone
One way to fight loneliness head-on is to admit to it. Only then a change can be made. There are plenty of options that can give people a better opportunity to socialize on the regular.
For freelancers, working in a co-working office is a great start.
According to Shelley Delayne, Founder of Orange Coworking, "repeated, casual interactions" are the most comfortable way to form friendships. For middle-aged men, "Coworking spaces provide regular contact with the same group… with ample opportunities for socializing casually."
The takeaway
Friendships are something to work towards and dedicate time to. Though it is easier to pretend like everything is fine and you're very content being lonely, it is not the healthiest choice.
Don't be a statistic – make a new friend or reach out to an old one. Don't let the routine of being alone let it trap you there. Your health will thank you.

Entrepreneurs' edge – working quality, not quantity hours
(ENTREPRENEURS) A huge advantage of the entrepreneur life is full control over your day – and using your hours wisely (and creatively) boosts productivity, even if it means sleeping in and staying up late. Think quality, not quantity.
So often, we hear the phrase "quality, not quantity," which can be appropriately used to describe ideas we give to our boss or the amount of effort we put into volunteering. The long and short of it is – don't half-ass something because you think it's fulfilling the need of "quantity."
Quality is always so much more important when it comes to output in your job. Like, okay, great, you worked 11 gillion hours this month, but what did you actually accomplish? Did you finish endless busy work and take pictures for social media of how busy you are? Or did you grow your bottom line?
Over the years, we've heard a lot about flex hours and more working from home options, but a hot new idea is (you guessed it) quality hours, not quantity hours. Sometimes fitting into that 9-to-5 framework is satisfying the quantity aspect, but are we really being as productive as we should?
Many people argue that we should be working less in order to produce more. Wait, don't leave, let me explain.
Does it really seem like the best idea to be working when your energy level is in the negatives? Probably not. This opens the door for more mistakes, less engaged work, and less output. If you're a night owl and your brain fires on all cylinders when the sun has gone down, is it really worth focusing your work energy during the hours that your brain isn't fully on?
If we work only when we know we're going to be productive, we can really make the most of our time. Now, don't get that confused with "sit around and wait for lightning to strike and THEN work," it means schedule your tasks based on when your mind is typically the most productive.
When are you most productive? In the morning after you've had a quick job and some coffee? Or post mid-afternoon when you're full-on awake? Jonas Downey pondered this question, and said, "I'm usually at my creative peak in the mid-morning and lose steam after lunch, so I shuffle my work accordingly. I do exploratory freeform stuff in the morning, and I save routine tasks (like implementing something I already know how to do) for the afternoon. I also have a rather short attention span, so I take tiny breaks a lot."He notes that working just to hit a certain number of hours is counterproductive, because in that time, there are likely to be hours worked when you are not at your best. Click To Tweet
Be honest – do you do your best work when your head is in the clouds, or when you show up to a task, raring to go?
Glorification of the 80 hour work week is dead in most circle, so consider scheduling yourself for times and days that your brain will cooperate with you instead of work against you and force you into menial work that feels like you're accomplishing tasks!

How freelancers can keep the peace with difficult clients
(ENTREPRENEUR) Freelancers are in a tight spot – keeping customers happy pays the bills, even when they're impossibly difficult. Let's discuss how to overcome this tremendous challenge.
Freelancers have a myriad of benefits, but one distinct drawback is that there isn't always a team to back you up if you find yourself working with a particularly nasty client. It's especially important to keep clients — no matter how insufferable they may be — in good moods, so here are a few tips on keeping the peace with your most annoying customers.
It's worth noting that you can often mitigate a large amount of potential misunderstandings — and thus, nastiness — by being clear with your intentions, terms, and rules up front and over-communicating at all times. A common issue for beginning freelancers is a tendency to settle on less-than-optimal terms for fear of losing a potential customer. A piece of advice – if they're not willing to pay you what you're worth now, they never will be.
It also helps to keep in mind that most obstinate clients are simply control-freaks who have found themselves outside of their comfort zones. Knowing that you aren't dealing with inherently bad people can be the difference between snapping and having more patience.
Once you've established that your client is causing you substantial enough discomfort that their behavior is no longer acceptable, your first step should be to communicate to them the specifics of your problem. If possible, do this in writing – promises made via email tend to reinforce accountability better than phone calls.
Freelancers should also avoid using any additional stipulations or rewards for getting clients to cooperate. As long as they're the one failing to hold up their end of the bargain, they should be the one to pick up the slack — don't do their work for them (or, if you do, make sure you charge them for it).
Again, the majority of client-freelancer issues can be boiled down to miscommunication and shaky terms, so address all issues as quickly as possible to avoid similar problems in the future. And as previously stated, over-communicate at all times.
Of course, keeping the peace is only viable up to a certain point of abuse.
If your client doesn't pay you by the agreed-upon due date, continuously disrespects you and/or your team, or keeps changing the terms of your agreement, you reserve the right to set the client straight, threaten to take them to small-claims court, or — if you haven't initiated the work for your end of the deal — terminate the contract.
Remember, freelancers don't owe inconsiderate customers the time of day, and for every non-paying customer with whom you waste your time, you're missing out on a paid, legitimate opportunity.

Google makes it easier to identify veteran-owned businesses
(BUSINESS) Finding veteran-owned businesses just got easier thanks to a new feature from Google (one that veteran business owners can easily take advantage of).
Google My Business (GMB) is the main database for search engines. It's a powerful tool used by consumers and businesses. To help customers and business-owners, GMB added a very important category last fall. Businesses can now be identified as veteran owned.
The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates that there are 2.5 million businesses majority-owned by veterans in the United States. In one report, these veteran-owned businesses employ over 5 million people and have an annual payroll of $195 billion. Texas ranks #2 in having the most veteran-owned businesses, following California.
The support that Americans give vets is inspiring. The cool thing about this feature from GMB is that it helps consumers find businesses to support. The men and women who gave service to our country deserve support once they're civilians. Look for veteran-led businesses when you use Google.
Customers aren't the only ones who will take advantage of knowing whether a business is owned by a former service member not. Fellow vets often go out of their way to support each other. Who better to provide information about resources and opportunities than someone whose been there?
If you're a business using GMB, it's easy to add this attribute to your listing. It's under the About category. The instructions for mobile and desktop can be found here. The only other attributes currently available are family-led and woman-owned.
It's unknown how many people actually seek this information out or will actually use it. It's estimated that about 10 percent of small businesses in the U.S. are veteran-led. These businesses aren't just providing an economic impact on communities. Veteran-owned businesses hire fellow vets in higher volume than non-veteran-owned companies. USA Today reported that vets thrive in the small business world, attributing success to their core values, such as discipline and organization that make vets able to commit to a business and serve customers.
We applaud Google for adding this attribute to their database of information.

Ambisonic, a very cool band using ambient sound and traditional rock sound to create something truly special.
Ambisonic-- The Hideout
Ambisonic, a very cool band using ambient sound and traditional rock sound to create something truly special.
Ambisonic, a very cool band using ambient sound and traditional rock sound to create something truly special.
Loving the intensity and showmanship out of this band. Have a look into them, they are pretty great.
I've seen them before but it seems like every time I see this idiosynchratic band, they launch their stage show to new crazy heights. As a photographer, this was a killer experience. As an audience member, crazy as well. As packed as it was I managed to get right in there without a designated media area on this one. My reward was almost getting crushed by Wayne Coyne in his zorb. Obviously one crazy show,
This guy showed up too and managed to get his own fans:
Challenge of the day-- trying to catch lead singer, Louis David Jackson, under his crazy swingin' hair.
So intense-- Check 'em out!
The last band in the set, Amos the Transparent. These guys rock hard.
Steam Whistle #22 I had the pleasure of being invited to shoot 3 fantastic up-and-coming bands in one of my favourite venues in the city, the Steam Whistle Roundhouse. Great music, awesome venue, all happening in the place where they make my favourite beer-- what could be better?
Under these fantastic conditions, with these amazing bands, I decided to push forward my After the Show series-- essentially what that means is that I head to the venue with no prior contact with the bands, finagle a 5 minute portrait gap with them after the set, find a location, a concept and throw up a light and pull something. High pressure but a lot of fun!
Without further intro, here is the first band in photos-- Wilderness of Manitoba.
Check out their modern folk tunes here
Wilderness of Manitoba Live
Here is the second installment from Steam Whistle Unsigned #22, this time focusing on Cai.ro, another band you'll be hearing from a lot in the future.
Check them out at this handy link:
I also grabbed another shot of this band for my after the show series-- these guys were an absolute pleasure to work with and absolutely killed it on stage.

Ultramarine Blue Labradorite Ring + Sterling Silver + Size 6 + Adjustable + Hammered + Oxidized + Dawn Wilson + Desert Talismans
Ultramarine Blue Labradorite Ring + Sterling Silver + Size 6 + Adjustable + Hammered + Oxidized + Dawn Wilson + Desert Talismans
Stunning blue depths…a tear of the moon framed in silver
:: Tear of the Moon ::
What a breathtaking stone labradorite is. This may be the most beautiful cabochon of it I have ever seen, a long, elegant teardrop with that vivid ultramarine blue that is at the top end of the labradorite spectrum. When you turn the stone in the light, it looks like it is alive. As enchanting and luminous as the desert twilight.
I made a simple sterling setting for this stone, not too slick or perfect, but gently distressed as if it were an artifact rather than a newly-made ring. The softly irregular lines, deep patina and satin surface set off the stone so that it glows even more intensely. The hammered adjustable band is heavy gauge silver with a stonelike texture.
A talisman for Star People and dreamers…
SIZE: The ring size is about a size 6, and it can be expanded up and reduced about a half size. The silver setting is 1 1/2" x 5/8" and the labradorite stone measures 1 1/4" x 3/8".
CARE: Rinse in cool water to clean. Polish the metal with a jeweler's polishing cloth, or if you prefer the matte look, use a dry kitchen scrubbing pad. Be sure to avoid the stone when doing so.
PRESENTATION: This ring will come to you beautifully giftwrapped in an earth-friendly and recycled gift box. Please see the Shop Policies below for details.
++ Shipping is included in the price ++ Shipping to Canada and Australia is available for an extra charge ++
HAVE A QUESTION? Click on the shop policies link below for more information. Feel free to contact me if you don't see the answer there.
