This Isn’t Going to Be Your Forever

Tips for Queer Youth Stuck at Home With Trans- and Homophobic Parents The global COVID-19 pandemic has put a huge amount of pressure on a huge number of people. In many households, the strains of closed schools, lost jobs, health issues, and close quarters mean that tensions are high, tempers are short, and privacy has become a luxury. If you’re a young queer person who is now isolated with trans- or homophobic family members, you probably know that better than anyone. Maybe things are normally okay at home, but now it feels like everything you do is under a microscope. Maybe an environment that usually just felt tense, now feels unsafe. Maybe you’ve been holding everything in for so long that you feel like you are about to burst and have nowhere to go let off steam. Whatever your situation looks like, the fact is, you could probably use a little support. So here are a few ideas to help you stay as physically and emotionally safe as possible during these difficult days. Stuck at Home During high school and college, there were plenty of times my parents and I butted heads, or got under each other’s skin, or found ourselves in epic screaming matches. One of the things that helped the most was getting some space. These days, many of the self-care strategies that you probably use to manage everything from dealing with microaggressions to flat-out dangerous situations just aren’t going to be possible. Those might have been things like escaping to a friend’s place, being at school, participating in your GSA, going to a movie or a coffee shop, staying at your grandma’s, or even just taking a walk. So what can you do? For Darid, a high school senior who's a member of GLSEN’s National Student Council, what has helped most has been staying connected to the outside world. They say, “I am fortunate to have my own space and my own room in the house to get away from everything, and just focus on myself. I’ve been keeping in contact with friends. We FaceTime almost every day. We even developed a routine; every Saturday, we get together virtually and have movie nights through Netflix Party. Finding a group of friends and starting a mini routine or picking out an activity to do together virtually has been helping me hold on to some type of normality.” That will resonate for a lot of young people. But for others, connecting virtually is going to be a bigger challenge since it is estimated that almost half of all Americans don’t have reliable Internet. That can be tough under normal circumstances. But as everything from school to socializing has moved online, it can make you feel even more isolated. Depending on where you live, you might be able to borrow a device or get online via your school. WiFi may also be available through a public place, like outside a library or a McDonalds. Some young people have also been given the okay to safely connect in real life by doing things like taking a physically distanced walk or bike ride, or having a distanced picnic with friends. Being Yourself If you are like a lot of people, your home self isn’t identical to the self you share with friends, teachers, or at your job. For some of you, being at home might actually be a relief and a nice break from the stresses of your regular life. I teach middle and high school health and I was surprised to hear from one of my students who said they were actually happier at home than at school because they weren’t dealing with daily drama. But for a lot of young people, especially LGBTQIA+ youth who have trans- or homophobic parents, home is anything but relaxing, especially if you need to constantly think about how you are acting, talking, or presenting yourself in front of your family. That is often called code switching and it is a crucial survival tactic for a lot of queer youth. But it can also be an exhausting and stressful one, especially if you have to do it 24/7. As Darid says, “I am a senior in high school, so I currently live with my parents. At first, it was difficult to adjust. For me, I code-switch a lot. The way I act and express myself with my family is completely different from the way I express myself with my friends. So it was hard, not having supportive and queer spaces that I often occupy.” If you are modifying how you present yourself to avoid triggering hostility from your family, it is also a good idea to try to find ways to express yourself authentically. That can be with friends over a video chat, dressing up alone in your room, writing in a journal, or even watching a movie or listening to music that speaks to you. Coming Out and Being Outed Coming out should always be your own choice, done on your own terms and timeline. But being isolated with your family, especially if you don’t have any privacy, can increase the chance of being outed before you are ready. Your sibling could pick up your phone and see a revealing text. You could get overheard on the phone. Your parents could be watching your every move looking for “signs.” For one college student, being home from school right now meant being pushed to come out by religious parents. As she wrote on Reddit, “A couple of months ago my mom asked me if I was gay and I said I wasn't because I did not want to be forced out of the closet.” However, being at home has changed the dynamic and after being asked and confronted repeatedly about her sexual orientation, she came out. The result? “My parents are not really taking it well,” she wrote. While some of you are probably terrified that your families will find out about your identity, others of you might be desperate to come out to them. That can be the case if you feel overwhelmed by the difficulty of keeping everything inside. Coming out can definitely be an amazing experience. But it can also be a risky one. So if you are leaning in that direction, you really need to think about whether or not now is the best time. Here are a few things to ask yourself: How do I think my family will react? How will coming out impact my situation at home? Is it safe, physically and emotionally, for me to come out to my parents? Do I have resources available (both emotional and financial) if coming out changes my situation at home? Do I have people whom I can talk to before I come out to my parents? What will waiting to come out until after the pandemic ends do to me? What are the upsides of waiting? What are the downsides? If you go through this list and decide that coming out at home it isn’t the best choice right now, you should know you still have options. For example, there might be a friend or family member whom you could call and talk to. If your school or college has a GSA, or something similar, you could also reach out to the person who runs that. Many communities have LGBTQIA+ community centers that have programs for youth. You can find your closest one at Centerlink. If you have privacy online privately, there are also a lot of places you can find support. For example, you can ask for advice on the Scarleteen message boards, live chat or via text. There are also groups like the Trevor Project or the LGBT National Youth Talkline which are geared towards queer and questioning youth in crisis, and sites like Q Chat Space, that can help you connect with LGBTQIA+ peers. If you hadn’t been involved with the queer community before the lockdown, getting involved now could actually be a good way to ease in since there are more virtual spaces around than ever. When Life at Home is Unbearable Sometimes a person’s family of origin is just so toxic or abusive that being at home is unbearable or unsafe. Some young people suffer verbal or physical abuse. Others are forced into conversion therapy. This practice, which falsely claims to be able to change sexual orientation and gender identity, had been banned in almost half the states. However, minors are still being put into these dangerous programs by parents. Getting help from a supportive community, an affirming school guidance counsellor, an understanding family therapist, or an LGBTQIA+ - friendly religious congregation can help families work through many of their issues. But there are plenty of situations where needed help isn’t available, or it just isn’t safe for a young person to live at home. As a result, some choose to leave. Others are removed by the state. Far too many get kicked out by their parents. That generally isn’t legal if a person is under 18. But, sadly, that doesn't stop it from happening. Whatever the reason, if you can’t live at home, the first thing to do is to see if you can stay with a friend or family member. That option is really going to be impacted by the state of the pandemic and by the rules about physical distancing where you live. If finding someone to live with doesn’t pan out and you are facing homelessness, or if you are already unhoused, try to locate LGBTQIA+-friendly services. When dealing with a crisis like losing your home due to trans- and homophobia, the last thing you need is to hit up against the same prejudices in the outside world. These days, you can find LGBTQIA+ focused services for youth in cities around the US and Canada as well as in many countries around the globe. Lambda Legal has a good list of resources for LGBTQ youth by state. In some areas, there are even LGBTQIA+ shelters and residences. One of those is the Ali Forney Center in New York City, which is committed to staying open throughout the pandemic. They also have a list of resources specifically for youth facing homelessness around the country. In extreme cases, teens can seek legal emancipation from parents. This gives minors the legal rights and responsibilities of adults. But with courts closed, jobs hard to come by, and schools shut down, this probably isn’t the best bet for most people. What it All Comes Down to Being a young person queer with trans- and homophobic family can present challenges during the best of times. But right now, living with parents who are hostile to your identity is probably just about one of the hardest things around. So it is crucial that you find ways to stay safe, honor yourself, and get support. Sometimes talking to a friend you know in real life, finding your people online, or reaching out to an organization that supports queer youth is a good option. Other times, just being able to step outside your front door by yourself can give you the headspace you need to get through the day. This isn’t going to end overnight. But try to remember that what you are experiencing right now, and whatever you are doing to survive it, also isn’t going to be your forever. Source link Read the full article

4 Simple Yet Powerful Techniques To Rewire Your Brain

Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Facebook

The following is a guest post from Ken Marshall. To learn how you can guest post for Productivity Theory, please read our Write For Us page.Have you ever felt like your brain was lagging behind the rest of your life?As if you’re stuck in some permanent fog and mental fatigue? It’s a terrible feeling that is all too common. In today’s society, with ever rising periods of screen time, long hours in unfulfilling work environments, and lowered averages of sleep and good nutrition, it’s hard to feel alert, or even happy for that matter.Those factors also make it incredibly difficult to live the life that you’ve always wanted. That lack of mental energy hinders your ability to think critically, learn new skills, and be creative.Each of us has the potential to do amazing and completely revolutionary things, while living in a way that is truly satisfying. To begin creating that world for yourself, you just have to do one simple thing: Change the way you think.That’s right. A shift in mentality is often cited as the number one thing some of the world’s most successful have done to achieve their success and live awesome lives. And you’ll be very surprised to learn that most of the techniques they use, are quite simple.You don’t have to be a genius, or work for 10,000 hours to achieve similar results. Just read on.Here are four simple things you can do tomorrow to rewire your brain and ultimately be more successful and fulfilled.

Speak Positive Affirmations Every Day

If your brain has convinced itself that you aren’t going to accomplish something, then you won’t. Plain and simple.But there is a way for you to easily change your mentality towards these goals and actually make them more likely to come true: Affirmations.An affirmation is simply a positive statement that is repeated in some capacity and enough times, that eventually your brain believes it as truth.Here’s why: When you think about and then say what you want to happen out loud some pretty intriguing things happen. The first is that your brain gets completely rewired (link to this). It happens through the concept of neuroplasticity.BigThink describes neuroplasticity as, “the ability to change its structure and function in response to experiences real or imagined.”This principle is the exact reason why affirmation can be so effective. Simply dedicating time to thinking can alter your brain alone. Then when you add speaking into the mix, you bring in a different stimulus for the brain to use to rewire itself as well.When you make these affirmations, you are essentially tricking your brain into thinking that what you are affirming is true. Or that it is very likely to become true. This causes it to dedicate itself to changing in any way necessary to facilitate that change as quickly as possible.Doing this also helps you organize your thoughts more clearly by making them tangible and is an excellent way to sort through what’s useful, and what you need to get rid of.

Cut Out The Sugar

Although no one can argue that a good sugary treat can be delightful, and even temporarily pleasurable, it is not good for your brain.In very low amounts (less than 5% of our diet as recommended by the world health organization), sugar is completely fine and not harmful at all.But in excess, it starts to have a range of negative effects on the body and mind. After consuming high levels of sugar, especially artificial varieties like sucralose or fructose, your body will experience what most people know as a “sugar rush”.This feels great for the time being, but as you probably know, it comes with a crash. This crash is a result of your blood sugar levels returning to normal and with that can come symptoms of irritability and lowered mood.Sugar also causes your Serotonin (chemical that your brain produces to regulate mood) levels to fluctuate unnaturally high and as a result, can end up depleting them faster than normal, which can contribute to depression.When it comes to success, a key element is your mentality and attitude. Without those, it’s incredibly hard to stay motivated and work consistently enough to achievement.So cutting out sugar is a very simple yet effective way to keep your brain healthier and functioning at a higher level. This in turn, will allow you to feel better and stay on track towards reaching your goals.

Meditate Every Day

Do you regularly feel anxiety? How about stress? Isolation? Or are you experiencing a general lack of productivity?These are all very real roadblocks to a successful and prosperous future.But they don’t have to affect your life if you choose not to let them. There is a simple and powerful remedy to these afflictions in most cases: Meditation.

That’s right, simply meditating each day has been scientifically proven to dramatically reduce stress and increase brain function.There are two main ways that it does this.1. Helps focus and clears the mind. Humans feel overwhelmed when they have too many potential situations, outcomes, and information to process in what they perceive to be a very limited amount of time.Meditation allows you to eliminate all incoming stimuli from your mind for a given period of time, and organize your thoughts. In doing so, you are able to prioritize the different aspects of your life and can rearrange your efforts in a way that is more efficient.2. Stabilize your thought process. Many times, opportunity presents itself as, or in the midst of a high pressure situation. These can be difficult to navigate if you haven’t conditioned your mind how. Regular meditation actually helps improve memory, cognition, and can reduce anxiety when in stressful situations.This happens through strengthening tissue in the Hippocampus (center responsible for cognition), and inhibiting cell growth in your amygdala (controls fear). Picture yourself completely calm and and able to process information at your highest level in any situation. That’s what meditation allows you to achieve.Once you’ve taken away the feelings of being overwhelmed, taken away the fog of questioning your own decisions, and stabilized your mood and thought process, you are able to go out and see the world with a fresh and renewed perspective.Meditating daily will not make you a million dollars by next week, become a famous actress, or get you that promotion at work.But it will make attaining those goals possible, significantly easier, and expedite the time it takes to accomplish them. Try it out.

Read Two Books A Month

Consistent learning and the assimilation of new information is one of the most important things you can do for your brain on the path to success.Even though individuals like Warren Buffet claim to owe their success to reading and do so with up to 80% of their time, a more realistic goal for your busy life is around two books a month at first.It might seem like a huge burden initially, but the benefits far outweigh the time commitment. When you read, you are:Expanding your perspective – Each book and author of that book has a unique way of presenting information. Even if the topic is familiar to you, the how and the why are likely to differ. Getting new perspectives can help you solve problems and generally be more creative.Increase processing and critical thinking – Books help critical thinking because when you read, you dedicate a good amount of time towards analyzing various situations and considering the complexities of elements like plot, story structure, character interaction, etc.Retain information better – While reading, your brain is far more engaged than when passively viewing a movie or television show. This increased attention allows your brain to more finely process and record the information, and develop lasting connections in the memory center of your brain.Develop new skills – Perhaps the most beneficial aspect of constant reading, you are able to learn and acquire a broader and more in depth range of talent. Each new book is essentially a new teacher for a new skill.Contrary to what most people believe, your brain does not stop developing later on in life. It is still a giant sponge that looks to soak up and use as much new information as possible. And it wants to use it as effectively as possible as well.Read more. Change your brain.

Helping Parent-Child Relationships Thrive During Long Separations and Transitions (Live Consultation)

Janet consults with a military mom of a 3-year old daughter who is trying to decide whether to accept a lengthy deployment. She wants to understand the effects it may have on her daughter and the steps she can take to maintain their strong relationship. Her husband is also active-duty and travels regularly, but he is about to be deployed for several months, so she’s hoping Janet has some suggestions how to manage this extended separation as well as the transition when he comes back into their daughter’s life. Transcript of “Helping Parent-Child Relationships Thrive During Long Separations and Transitions (Live Consultation)” Hi, this is Janet Lansbury. Welcome to Unruffled. How’s everybody doing? I’m thinking of all of you at this difficult time. Today, I’m doing something brand new for the podcast. I’m going to be consulting with the parent of a three-year-old. This parent emailed me with concerns about an impending separation, potentially a long one, and certain life transitions that her family is facing. Separating from our children, even for short periods, can be heart wrenching, whether it’s for their first days at preschool, or a weekend trip with our partner, or a friend or, as in the case with this family, an extensive period of work-related travel. I thought this might be a good opportunity to cover some of the common emotions that children express, and our own feelings when faced with separation. Janet:   Hi there. Parent:  Hi Janet. Janet:   How are you doing? Parent:  Well, I think these are crazy times for all of us. Janet:  Absolutely. What I usually like to do is… I mean, this is your time and your call, first of all, to talk about what you think is important, but I recommend starting with what feels like the biggest concern right now. And if we start from there then we can kind of work our way through other concerns and see how I can help, hopefully. Parent:  Sure. So one of the things that I’ve learned from your work and have internalized is the importance of our relationships with our children in terms of providing them with stability as the foundation for the rest of their growth. And so my concern is, as I mentioned in my email that both my husband and I are active duty military officers, and we each have a deployment on the horizon. So I’m just looking for your advice on how to best prepare her for those situations ahead of time. And then also reintegration. The first thing that we’ll have is my husband, who, he already travels quite a bit for work as it is. So she’s used to him coming and going. But she is almost three now and she’s become more curious about when he leaves, where he is, what he’s doing. And she’ll say things like… that she is frustrated or she’s disappointed that he’s not there when she wakes up. But we’re typically able to move on from those things pretty quickly because they’re a matter of course. But my husband is deploying this Summer for three months and this will be the longest period of time that he’s been away from her since she was six weeks old and he deployed then. How do I prepare her for that? When do I start preparing her for that? And then is there any way that we can actually maintain or grow their relationship while he’s gone? And then any tips that you have for their re-integration. So that’s kind of the first thing that’s coming up. Janet:   When is he leaving? Parent:  We’re expecting July. Janet:  Okay. So I would wait until three weeks to a month before, unless there’s talk about it from you or friends or other members of your family. If there is, I would definitely bring it out into the open. You know, children are very sensitive and aware. They have radar for what’s going on, especially with their parents. It’s better to put it out there for her, so it’s not this mystery, which is more disconcerting than the reality for children. Like you said, the relationship is so important and that we have a relationship that’s steeped in trust, which means that we’re honest with you. We don’t try to whitewash things and pretend everything’s fine and you shouldn’t have any feelings about it. We put it out there honestly with what this is going to look like. So we don’t have to tell her what she’s going to feel or what anyone’s going to feel, but the more concrete things that will affect her life, the fact that he’ll be leaving for an extended time. One thing that I would recommend is what we used to use in the olden days: a real calendar, a big wall calendar, so she can see the days. Something visual for her to get some sense of what that passage of time is really like, and have some autonomy in it, maybe choosing the type of calendar she likes and then being the one to make checks or put in things for the different days — when you’re going to FaceTime. Or it could be about everything in her life. So yeah, I would say, “Dad usually goes for shorter trips. This is going to be a longer trip and it may be hard to have him so far away for such a long time.” And I would even say, “It’s going to be hard for me because I’m going to miss him.” Just very open, direct talk about this. How is she with FaceTime? Does she like it? Because some children don’t like those things so much. It’s tough for them to be patient about it. Parent:  So because we are military, we live away from most of our immediate family and so she does spend a good amount of time Face-Timing with grandparents and extended family, but she’s a toddler, so she only is going to be attentive for a certain period of time. And so when I’m away, which is much more rare than my husband, I just like to watch her. I don’t have an expectation that she and I are going to have a conversation or that she’s going to sit still. I’ll just say to whoever’s holding the phone, “Just point it in her general direction and she’ll come back around and tell me something or show me something as she goes. ” Is much for me as it is for her when I’m away. Janet:  Probably even more for us than for them. I love the way that you’re handling that. That sounds perfect, that you’re not having expectation that she’s going to be able to sit and find that very engaging. Young children don’t tend to do that. In the old days, again, we had the telephone. If we were away, we would want to hear our child’s voice. But for a child, that was just not very satisfying, to have somebody that’s there but not there. I wanted to ask you how she brings up things like, “I’m frustrated,” or “I miss daddy.” Or whatever. How does that come about? Because one thing we want to do is be careful not to read too much into her mentions of daddy and take it to a deeper place than it might be. So I’m just curious how that comes up when she says, “I’m frustrated.” Parent:  Part of our morning routine that she goes around the house and says a very sprightly good morning to everyone. She wakes up and her dad isn’t there, she’ll say, “Where’s daddy?” And I’ll say, “Oh, he’s in Florida.” And she’ll say, “Oh, I’m upset.” Or, ” I’m disappointed.” And remember, like I said, we pretty quickly move on from those things. Like I’ll just say, “Oh, you’re upset he’s not here. You’re feeling, you’re feeling disappointed.” And then we move on. Janet:  Does she show that she’s upset or does she just say the words? Parent:  I mean it’s really more verbal. She does not linger on it. She will continue on about her way. We’ve never seen a big emotional response or a tantrum and I know that sometimes those feelings can come out in other ways. Janet:  Right. That comes out in other ways and that’s where the feelings actually come. So her saying those things… I just find it interesting because sometimes we’re the ones that suggest those words. We might say, “Is that upsetting for you?” Or, “Are you feeling frustrated?” And then she’s, in a sense, repeating back what the parent has suggested about feelings. Parent:  I mean that is entirely possible. I am definitely guilty. Well, in a positive way, I’ve always tried to articulate her feelings in line with your guidance from the time that she was an infant and she would express something. I would say, “Oh, it seems like you are… (insert the emotion that I think she’s feeling). So we have always done that and then it’s entirely possible that at some earlier time I said, “Oh, I bet you’re disappointed your dad’s not here.” And so she may well be regurgitating that. Janet:  Yeah. So don’t feel guilty about it. This is just information to know for ourselves — that maybe she’s not really that upset. Maybe she’s just kind of weighing in. It doesn’t sound like you’re doing this, but what can happen is a child will say, “Where’s daddy.” And the parent a little bit in their emotions lurches forward to, uh-oh she’s upset about daddy, instead of just staying behind our child in that sense, and just reflecting back what we know for sure, which is, “Oh, you’re thinking about daddy right now, or where he is. Let me see. I think he might be here and this is what he might be doing right now because it’s lunchtime where daddy is so he may be having lunch now.” Children are very curious and they just want to know the information. When children are used to things like daddy’s not here, they do adapt to those ideas and they aren’t stressed about them every day. Especially when we’ve put it out there so honestly, as you are doing and will do. So there’s really nothing to fear. Parent:  That’s incredibly reassuring. Janet:  Good. Well, it’s the truth, I believe. And I had an idea that it would be nice to do the old fashioned thing of letters. Do you ever do that? Parent:  Oh yeah. Janet:   I think that’s just so much- Parent:  Sorry, I don’t. My daughter sends letters to our extended family or pictures. I haven’t written a letter to my husband in probably 10 years. Janet:  It’s just much more tangible for a child to have that thing they can hold in their hand. And of course there’s other great aspects to this like learning about letters and writing and not that you’re going to be ‘teaching her’ in overt way, but just the fact that you would sit down together and maybe you have that on your calendar that, “Here’s the day that we write a letter.” Something that you do together and then asking her like, “Should we take a picture or is there a picture of something that you did this week that you want to share?” And you could even bring something. “Here’s a bit of sand from the beach we went to.” Or, I don’t know… “Here’s a leaf that I found.” You could really have fun with that. So giving her that sense of participation and ownership in what’s going on and that autonomy of being able to decide things. It’s a fun, educational and emotionally rewarding experience to have all those elements come together. And then daddy sends letters back and you get to read those and imagine what he’s doing and it’s just a richer way than a FaceTime to feel connected and to feel like you’re sharing your life with somebody. Parent:   I used to send care packages, and part of the reason I don’t do it anymore, it’s because Amazon delivers everywhere so he can really get whatever he needs where he’s going. But perhaps that’s something that my daughter and I can do where we pick out things that we think… I could ask her, “What do you think the daddy would like to eat?” Or, “What do you think that daddy would like to read?” And we can pick some of those things out together and put it in a little box and send with her pictures and her letters. Janet:  That’s a brilliant idea. Parent:   Yeah. Janet:   So what else? Parent:  So what about as he prepares to come home? I imagine that preparing her for that will be much the same as when he’s getting ready to leave, we’ll maybe have the calendar going and we can do a countdown. Maybe pick a special outfit and do things like that to get her excited about his return. But I also think that she grows so much every day. She might be a slightly different child by the time that he comes home. So any suggestions for how we can use the transition and re-integrating him into the routine that she and I have established and even helping him become acquainted with the little girl who’s maybe a little bit more grown in different than he remembers? Janet:  Yeah. So I would be careful not to put any big expectation… Now I’m thinking of her end of things and how she’s going to feel… When you said, “Pick out the dress.” That sounds really, really sweet on one hand. But on the other hand, I wonder if it’s making a little bit of a pressure situation for something that might be anticlimactic at that point in the way that they actually meet again. For children, it can take a little while to get comfortable when they haven’t seen somebody for a while. So we don’t want to rush that. We want to give her the time and not put all this expectation. So I think I would address that with this honest, open, concrete way of speaking with her about it. Also, inviting her participation again, “Where would you like to be when he comes?” “What would you like to wear?” Maybe. Without putting any charge on it, if you can. You can say, “I’m really excited for daddy.” But I wouldn’t assume that she’s going to be excited. Hopefully he doesn’t assume that either, because it’s a lot of things when you haven’t seen someone for a long time and you’re that little and your emotions are all out on your chest. Your whole body’s feeling your emotions. It can be embarrassing. It can make you feel shy. It can be scary. It can be uncomfortable in a lot of ways. So I would be open to it being whatever it is. Parent:  Yeah, that’s a really great point. The only time he’s deployed since we’ve had our daughter was when she was very, very little. I mean, she was still an infant. So in the past it’s been like the prom for me, right? Getting ready and being excited. And so that’s a good perspective to have that that might not be how she feels. I think both of us are probably going to have to actively work toward anticipating that and being accepting of that. Janet:   I think that’s great. And you know how children sometimes cry when people sing Happy Birthday to them on their birthday, or they run away? All that buildup, excitement and then they feel on the spot… And, I don’t know, I can relate to it as an introverted person myself, I can relate to the awkwardness of it and the whole range of emotion. So the best thing you could do, and I’m sure you will do, is to approach this in a way that is very accepting of however she feels about it and not taking it personally and not taking it as any sign that she doesn’t love her dad or isn’t excited to see her dad. Excitement is one of the emotions, I’m sure, but there are a lot of others as well. And those might be the ones that come forth first. You use the word “anticipation” and that for children is very uncomfortable in a lot of ways. Anticipation… Like have you ever had the experience where you said, “Oh, this afternoon we’re going to have these friends over, you’re going to see grandma.” Or something, and then she can’t take a nap? Parent:  Yeah. Janet:  Yeah. So these things that we can kind of compartmentalize as like: I’m really excited about this. But I can still go on with my life, for children it takes over their whole body. So for you and her dad, I would be looking forward. And I would go into this with confidence knowing that, yes, she loves her dad and there’s nothing that he can do to change that at this point. She loves him. She may not feel as at ease with him when she hasn’t seen him for a while, but she loves him. Knowing that, we can just be open to whatever this sweet girl does and how she takes it. But not, “Come here and give me a big hug.” I would be like, “Oh, I’m so happy to see you.” And, have your arms open for a hug if she wants to, but then accept whatever it is. Parent:  Yeah, those are really great reminders. I can’t say that I would have… I can’t say it would have occurred to me to throttle back. You see the movies, you expect a big open arm hug and things like that, but you’re right, that might not be a realistic expectation. So I’m glad that you mentioned that. Janet:  I think for an older child it might be more of a realistic expectation. But for somebody that’s so in the moment — they’re very self centered at that age. They’re supposed to be. All this development is happening and they need to be self centered and have their world kind of be around them. I think those movies are more about older kids. But yeah, for you two to have your expectations realistic is going to help. So that you’re not let down and you’re not discouraged, and that her dad doesn’t feel less confident about proceeding with her. And then, I would just take it slow with him not pushing the physicality, and knowing that it might take a little time to get back into being so demonstrative and everything. What I’ve learned through all the work with Magda Gerber is that, those caregiving times are the golden times for connecting. And caregiving times with a child her age is the meals. Just being there, not having distractions, not having a cell phone. I would have him start putting that all away for these periods of time throughout the day, when he’s available to her, that is.  If he’s working, or you’re working, you can’t do that if you need to make business phone calls. But as much as possible, prioritizing those times so that, you’re using those naturally intimate connecting times to build the trust back. Parent:  I love that. And I think like most children, our daughter really thrived off of routine and knowing what is going to happen. I mean, as you mentioned, she asks 1,000,001 question a day and wants to know where everyone is and what they’re doing and why. And so especially with her having those set routines… We do eat dinner together as a family every night, we read two books, we do the bath, we pick out clothes for the next day. I mean these are things that she knows are going to happen and she’s excited about them and it certainly makes me feel bonded with her to begin every day in that special way and then also end every night by putting her to bed in that way. Janet:  That’s great. And then when her dad is home, does he do any of those things with her? Parent:  I mentioned in my email, I think this may change as she gets older and they have more shared interests and they spend more time together. I think right now I am definitely the preferred parent and I perform most of those caregiving rituals. He does, but it’s not on a set basis. The expectation is that I’ll give her her bath and I’ll do her bedtime routine. And so the time that they spend together is impromptu. Right? So playing a game together on the floor or taking the dog for a walk and things like that, less caregiving and more play focused. Janet:   That routine is wonderful. You’re absolutely right. It empowers her. It helps her feel on top of her world — more confident — and children thrive in those situations. So absolutely. But when you say preferred… Ideally, that doesn’t mean that you see it as a need, but as a choice that she’s making in that moment. Taking the dog for a walk and playing together is great too.  But for him to have the opportunity to do some of those even more bonding experiences would be helpful for their developing bond and for building more trust with him too. And the way that would look is I would let her know in advance, not in a warning way, but just, “Oh by the way, dad is going to be the one to give you your bath tonight.” And then she says, “No, I want mommy.” And you would say, “Ah yeah, I know you want me to do it. We usually do it. We’re the ones that do that together. But daddy wants a turn and we’re going to give him a turn to do that.” Then allowing for the protest. And him, if he can, meeting that situation with confidence. Even if it’s rocky, allowing that to be and not be intimidated by it. Because it can be that she just wants it her way and in this case it’s really okay for her to not get her first choice. Almost especially if she cries, actually, it will open up their relationship to much more trust and a deeper connection. When you can share that somebody’s not your first choice and they’re willing to hear that and they still stick with you… That’s such a beautiful moment to have with somebody as a child. They feel like they can share so many feelings with you as they grow. They can share that they didn’t like what you did, it embarrassed them. They can share that they’re mad at you for being away so long and not being there when there was Daddy’s Day at school or something. They can be kind of pushing you away, but you stay there. And that that is the way children share that I missed you and you weren’t there and it’s uncomfortable getting to know you again. That’s exactly how they share it — through yelling at you or being upset that they wanted mommy and they got daddy. So it takes us going into this really high place in ourselves to be able to do that as a dad. Even as the preferred parent, it’s hard to trust that that’s okay. But the other parent really needs us to do that and not come in if there’s crying and go, “Okay, I’ll do it. I’ll do it.” Undermining that other parent. So it takes both of you being heroes. Heroes that see the bigger picture. Children are always in the moment. “This is what I want right now.” As adults, as their parents, we get to be the ones that see the bigger picture. We see beyond that she just wants ice cream right now, but we know that’s not healthy for her. So being that parent in those situations will help him to get back in sync with her, believe it or not, even though it’s going to feel messy and hard in those moments maybe. Parent:  That’s great advice. And then the other thing that I want to talk about, as we mentioned, my husband’s deployment is the one coming up most quickly, but next Spring I’m also supposed to deploy for six months. This certainly would be the longest period of time with she and has spent a part. And the beauty of this particular assignment is that it is stateside and there’s potential that I might actually be able to bring her with me, so long as I can make sure that I have childcare, like a live-in nanny or a grandparent who is able to be there. I need to be responsive to work and I essentially needed to be available at all time. So it sounds like a dream come true, but I wanted to get your thoughts because I am also concerned about the disruption of moving her to a new location. Again, in the absence of her father because he would not be able to come with us, introducing her to a new caregiver and then moving her home in six months. Janet:   Right. I think those adaptations are well worth her being able to be with her primary caregiver, which is you. So you’re the primary attachment figure and it’s going to be harder for her to be away from you than her dad right now. Parent:  Okay. That was what I thought initially. That was what I felt in my gut. My husband and I are very grateful for every opportunity the military has given us, including this one. But we’ve also, since we had her, maintained that we will take every assignment and every opportunity one by one and determine what is in the best interest of her. And I am at this point eligible to separate from the military if I wanted to. So this is just something that we’ve been weighing on — whether or not to continue my career of military service even though it will cause perhaps disruption and discomfort to her because military service is not a choice that she made. Janet:   Right. Well, you’re very unselfish in the way you’re thinking about this, considering her in this way. But yes, for a child there’ll be some stress involved in it, but not nearly the amount that being away from you would be. Not that she couldn’t handle that either, but weighing it, yeah, it will be much easier for her. She’ll be much more comfortable if she could still be with you. Parent:  Yeah. So I think that either I will bring her with me or I will step away from my military career for the time being and just focus on her and focus on our family and not take that next assignment or that deployment. Because I… Again, this sometimes it was about me as a parent and less about her as a child, or at least equally about me. I can’t imagine spending that length of time away from her. Janet:  Right. And she’s still very young. So if she was seven or eight it might be easier because, again, children can compartmentalize things in their mind: My mother does still love me and I can’t be with her now, but I’ll be with her.  It’s a little bit easier as they get older. It’s never easy, but she’s still at a very early time and development, and if you can make this work to not be away from her, I absolutely would. I would prioritize that. And then I would address it the same way we were talking about her dad leaving and these other things that you’ll be very concrete about it. “This is what we’re doing and this is who’s going to be there. This is what our day’s going to look like.” And some people do make a book of all the things that she’s going to get to do so she can enjoy reading that story with you. And now she knows that this and that is going to happen. And so she comes into it with this confidence of knowing and then she gets to see: Yes. Oh, there’s what that ends up feeling like and that. So it’s again, a very confidence building experience. So yeah, I would do that and not say, “This is going to be great and you’re really going to like this new caregiver.” And all those things that we want to do because we really want it to be okay for them. Most parents, we just want them to be fine and to be okay. But they’ve got a right to be however they are about it. Just like with her dad returning, they’ve got a right to be themselves. And that’s what we want anyway. We want to meet her as herself, not some person that she thinks she has to pretend to be. So yeah, you can do that. Parent:   Okay. I love that. Janet:  And is there anything else? Parent:   These are the things that have been weighing on my shoulders. Like you said, having a parent gone for any length of time is probably not comfortable, but doing what I can to help her understand what’s going on with her father being gone… And then just really contemplating how we handle my deployment and whether or not she comes with me, and making that as comfortable for her as we can. And you’ve given me a lot of reassurance in my gut, which is that she needs to be with her mom. Janet:   Oh good. Yes. So this thing about comfort… Children do learn when there’s some stress, a certain amount of stress. So this whole situation with her dad, she can learn a lot from that. And I don’t even know that she would be stressed, again, if she’s used to that: this is my relationship with my dad — he’s gone a lot and then he comes back. Children normalize that for themselves. But if there was some stress, there’s learning that happens through writing those letters and through the uncomfortable feelings and all that. But then there’s a point where the stress gets more overwhelming, then there’s less learning. And less ability to function and that’s the difference in your family right now between your husband being gone and you being away from her. Parent:  You know, sometimes I can forget that there are hundreds of thousands of military families that have endured these challenges before we have, and many, many of the children who come from military families are incredibly well adjusted and very resilient and very adaptable as a result of having had those experiences at a young age. Janet:   Yes, and then the other part of that is… because now you’re making me feel like I really want to add this… If you did leave her, she would be okay. What you would want to happen… If her dad’s not there either, you would want to, as much as possible, foster the development of a secondary attachment figure, which would be whoever her primary caregiver ends up being — her grandparent, if that was the caregiver or another relative. Sometimes, understandably, the parent might get threatened by the relationship that child has with this other person. And I don’t think you would, because you’re so generous in your thoughts about your daughter and what’s best for her. But that happens on all different levels. Even with people that work full time and just aren’t home day to day. But that’s what you want: somebody that they feel deep trust and love for. That’s going to help your child to thrive. It’s very healthy for children to develop more attachment figures than just their parents. It’s a gift to be able to bond with other people as well. So just putting it out there that you want your child to bond with that person that’s going to care for them. That’s the best thing that could happen. And if you come home and they seem to be more comfortable with that person, it’s really okay for all the reasons that you and I talked about in regard to her dad coming home. It’s really okay. You will find your way back to each other. Anyway, just wanted to add that because you brought to mind that other people may not have this ability that you do to make a choice. Parent:  Right. Yeah, absolutely. Well, Janet, I could not be more appreciative of your time. I’m just such a fan of your work. It has so influenced my relationship with my daughter and the way that I see her and I think my happiness as a parent, there is truly no one else that I could feel comfortable receiving this advice from than you. Janet:  Thank you so much. And thank you again for sharing your journey with other parents. It’s brave of you and generous of you, so thank you so much. I have no doubts about you handling all of this. I think even before we talked. Because you already get it. So just keep up the wonderful work with your dear girl.

Oderberg on the hierarchy of being

Daniel, "Purely material bodies" The words "purely material" are redundant. An assertion of a non-material body is incoherent. Since one is speaking of a body, could it be made of absolutely nothing at all? Then in what sense would you say it is an existent body? Thus, a body must be made of something. How could that something not be some form of material? What would that even mean, a non-material thing? The assertion of a non-material body, or a component of a body that is non-material is a self contradictory term. "disembodied minds" ...is an incoherent term. Minds think thoughts. How could absolutely nothing at all think thoughts? Supposing that mind is not absolutely nothing at all, rather, something, a thing that thinks thoughts. Then that something is the body of that mind, perhaps not a body like yours or mine, but if that mind is something thinking thoughts then that something must be some sort of body. "the free choice of the creator" ...is incoherent in combination with the assertion of eternal immutability. A free choice requires a real possibility to do otherwise. If there is no real possibility to do otherwise then there can be no real free choice. If god has been eternally the same as god is right now then there has never been a time when god could do otherwise. Eternal immutability means god has never had the real possibility of doing otherwise, so to assert a free choice for god together with eternal immutability is incoherent. Oderberg acknowledged that the hierarchy of being is nearly eliminated from modern discourse, hence his work attempts to recover the hierarchy of being so that it is no longer nearly universally rejected. He also acknowledged that he could not identify any positive normative value added beyond what we already know, that things are different from each other. A lack of present day normative value by itself is not necessarily a problem since systems are often introduced on a logical basis without any identifiable contemporary social benefit, yet in time may grow to be of enormous benefit, for example Boolean Algebra. But, given that Oderberg employs so many incoherent terms his system fails even on purely logical grounds. Delete Source link Read the full article

Hong Kong Airport Cancels Flights as Protesters Flood In

HONG KONG—A large crowd of antigovernment demonstrators shut down Hong Kong’s airport and stranded thousands of passengers, as officials in Beijing responded to the weekend’s violent clashes by saying they saw signs of terrorism emerging in the protests. Hong Kong’s airport authority canceled all departing flights Monday afternoon as well as some arrivals after thousands of demonstrators thronged the arrival and departure halls, joining a sit-in at the terminal that has run since Friday. Hundreds of inbound and outbound flights scheduled for Tuesday were canceled as well. Demonstrators gathered to protest what they said was police brutality over a bloody weekend that saw some of the worst clashes between police and protesters in more than two months of demonstrations. By Tuesday morning, the crowd of protesters at the airport had thinned to a few dozen, though they said more would be arriving in the afternoon. Protesters said there was the possibility of further flight disruption. Passengers crowded into Hong Kong’s airport uncertain if their flights would leave on time, though some flights had begun departing earlier on Tuesday. The city’s main carrier, Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., still listed dozens of canceled flights through the rest of the day. Micah Hays, from California, had arrived in Hong Kong Monday for what was supposed to be a one-hour layover on the way to Bali, Indonesia for a vacation with his six-year-old son. But instead he was told to evacuate the airport, for a new connecting flight Tuesday, though he wasn’t sure whether the flight would be departing on time. The size of the crowd on Monday overwhelmed the airport, one of the world’s busiest, handling more than 400,000 flights and 75 million passengers last year. It underscored protesters’ continued ability to disrupt the city and ratchet up pressure on authorities, who have warned the unrest may tip the economy into recession and damage business confidence in the international finance and trading hub. The protest, while disruptive, was peaceful—a contrast to battles Sunday night across the city in which police stations were besieged, dozens of protesters were arrested following charges by police wielding batons and one woman sustained a serious eye injury after she was shot with a projectile. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({}); Many said they came to the airport to draw international attention to their cause, and would stick to the peaceful protest method long practiced in the city before this summer of discontent, during which a hard core of demonstrators has begun to embrace more radical methods. Chinese officials focused on what they called “deranged acts” by those protesters, including throwing gasoline bombs, saying they marked the emergence of terrorism in the partly autonomous Chinese city. “Radical Hong Kong protesters have repeatedly used extremely dangerous tools to attack police officers,” Yang Guang, a spokesman for the Chinese government’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a news briefing on Monday, according to Chinese state media. “The first signs of terrorism are starting to appear.” Mr. Yang said such violence must be severely punished, “without leniency, without mercy.” “The terrorism claim is totally out of proportion,” said Ho-Fung Hung, a political economy professor at Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Hung pointed to other times China cited terrorism as justification for draconian measures to crack down on people, such as the treatment of Uighur Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region. China could be using the characterization to justify tougher methods to contain the protests in Hong Kong, he added. Source: WSJ Read the full article

How to Lose 10 Pounds in a Month: 14 Simple Steps

However, taking it one step at a time and making a few minor modifications to your diet and lifestyle can make weight loss much more manageable. By making some small changes to your daily routine, you can safely lose up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in just one month, hitting your weight loss goals quickly and easily. Here are 14 simple steps to drop 10 pounds in a single month. 1. Do More Cardio

Aerobic exercise — also known as cardio — is a type of physical activity that increases your heart rate to burn more calories and strengthen your heart and lungs. Adding cardio to your routine is one of the most effective ways to quickly increase weight loss. In fact, one study in 141 obese adults showed that combining 40 minutes of cardio three times per week with a weight loss diet decreased body weight by 9% over a six-month period. Another 10-month study found that burning either 400 or 600 calories five times per week by doing cardio exercise resulted in an average weight loss of 8.6 pounds (3.9 kg) and 11.5 pounds (5.2 kg), respectively. For best results, try to fit in at least 20–40 minutes of cardio daily — or about 150–300 minutes per week. Walking, jogging, boxing, biking and swimming are just a few forms of cardio that can boost weight loss fast. SUMMARY Cardio can help you burn more calories to increase weight loss quickly. 2. Cut Back on Refined Carbs Cutting down on carbs is another simple way to improve the quality of your diet and further weight loss. It’s especially beneficial to decrease your intake of refined carbs, which are a type of carbohydrate stripped of their nutrient and fiber content during processing. Not only are refined carbs high in calories and low in nutrients, they’re absorbed quickly into your bloodstream, causing blood sugar spikes and increased hunger. Studies show that a diet high in refined grains is associated with a higher body weight than a diet rich in nutritious whole grains. One large study in 2,834 people also found that people who ate more refined grains had on average more belly fat than those who ate more whole grains. For best results, swap out refined carbs like white bread, breakfast cereals and heavily processed pre-packaged foods for whole-grain products like quinoa, oats, brown rice and barley. SUMMARY Refined carbs, which are low in nutrients, can cause spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. Research shows that a higher intake of refined carbs may be linked to higher body weight and increased belly fat. 3. Start Counting Calories In order to lose weight, you need to use more calories than you consume, either by decreasing your calorie intake or increasing your daily physical activity. Counting calories can keep you accountable and increases awareness of how your diet may impact your weight loss. According to a review of 37 studies in over 16,000 people, weight loss regimens that incorporated calorie counting resulted in an average of 7.3 pounds (3.3 kg) more weight loss per year than those that didn’t. However, keep in mind that cutting calories alone is not considered a sustainable strategy for long-term weight loss, so pair it with other diet and lifestyle modifications. Recording your intake with an app or food journal is a good way to get started. SUMMARY Counting your calories can help increase weight loss when combined with other diet and lifestyle changes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({}); 4. Choose Better Beverages In addition to changing your main courses, choosing healthier beverages is another simple way to effectively increase weight loss. Soda, juice and energy drinks are often loaded with sugar and extra calories that can contribute to weight gain over time. Conversely, water can help keep you feeling full and temporarily boost metabolism to cut calorie consumption and enhance weight loss. One study in 24 overweight and obese adults showed that drinking 16.9 fluid ounces (500 ml) of water before a meal decreased the number of calories consumed by 13% compared to a control group. Another small study in 14 people found that drinking 16.9 fluid ounces (500 ml) of water increased metabolism by 30% after 30–40 minutes, slightly increasing the number of calories burned for a short time. To bump up weight loss, cut out high-calorie, sweetened beverages and aim to drink 34–68 fluid ounces (1–2 liters) of water throughout the day. SUMMARY Soda, juice and sports drinks are high in calories and can contribute to weight gain. Water, on the other hand, has been shown to decrease calorie intake and temporarily increase metabolism. 5. Eat More Slowly Slowing down and focusing on enjoying your food while listening to your body is an effective strategy to decrease intake and enhance feelings of fullness. For example, one study in 30 women reported that eating slowly decreased calorie intake by an average of 10%, increased water consumption and resulted in greater feelings of fullness than eating quickly. Another study showed that eating slowly increased levels of certain hormones in your body responsible for promoting fullness. Taking smaller bites, drinking plenty of water with your meal and reducing external distractions can help you eat more slowly to increase weight loss. SUMMARY Eating slowly can decrease intake and improve feelings of fullness to enhance weight loss. 6. Add Fiber to Your Diet Fiber is a nutrient that moves through your body undigested, helping stabilize blood sugar, slow stomach emptying and keep you feeling fuller longer. Multiple studies demonstrate that fiber has a powerful effect on weight loss. According to one review, increasing daily fiber intake by 14 grams without making any other dietary changes was associated with a 10% decrease in calorie intake and 4.2 pounds (1.9 kg) of weight loss over four months. Another study in 252 women found that each gram of dietary fiber consumed was linked to a 0.5-pound (0.25-kg) decrease in body weight over a 20-month period. Aim for at least 25–38 grams of fiber daily from foods like fruits, veggies, legumes and whole grains to optimize your health and increase weight loss. SUMMARY Increasing your fiber consumption has been linked to decreases in both calorie intake and body weight. 7. Eat a High-Protein Breakfast Waking up to a healthy, high-protein breakfast is a great way to start your day and stay on track towards your weight loss goals. Increasing your intake of protein can help you lose weight by reducing your appetite and cutting your calorie consumption. One small 12-week study in 19 people showed that increasing protein intake to 30% of calories reduced daily intake by 441 calories and lowered body weight by 10.8 pounds (4.9 kg). Another study in 20 adolescent girls found that eating a high-protein breakfast increased feelings of fullness and lowered levels of certain hormones that stimulate hunger. Plus, multiple studies link a higher intake of protein to decreases in body weight and belly fat over time. Oats, yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese and peanut butter are a few staple foods you can enjoy as part of a healthy, high-protein breakfast. SUMMARY Increased morning protein intake is associated with greater feelings of fullness, decreased calorie intake and reductions in body weight and belly fat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({}); 8. Get Enough Sleep Every Night Setting a regular sleep schedule and sticking to it may be another important factor for successful weight loss, especially if you’re trying to lose 10 pounds in a month. According to one small study, depriving nine men of sleep for a single night resulted in significant increases in hunger and levels of ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates appetite. On the other hand, a study in 245 women found that improving sleep quality and squeezing in at least seven hours of sleep each night increased the likelihood of successful weight loss by 33%. Try sleeping for at least 7–8 hours per night, setting a regular sleep schedule and minimizing distractions before bed to optimize your sleep cycle and reach your weight loss goals. SUMMARY While sleep deprivation can increase hunger, getting enough sleep can increase the likelihood of successful weight loss. 9. Try Resistance Training Resistance training is a type of physical activity that involves working against some type of force to build muscle and increase strength. In addition to other health benefits associated with resistance training, it may boost metabolismto make weight loss even easier. One study in 94 people showed that resistance training preserved fat-free mass and metabolism following weight loss, helping maximize the number of calories burned throughout the day. Similarly, another study in 61 people indicated that nine months of resistance training increased the number of calories burned at rest daily by an average of 5%. Using gym equipment or performing bodyweight exercises at home are two easy and effective ways to start resistance training and enhance weight loss. SUMMARY Studies show that resistance training can preserve fat-free mass and increase metabolism to boost weight loss. 10. Practice Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, with fasts typically lasting 16–24 hours. It can reduce the amount you eat by limiting the time frame in which food is consumed, possibly enhancing weight loss. In fact, some research shows that intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool for weight loss and may be equally effective as calorie restriction. Plus, one study in 11 healthy adults found that short-term fasting significantly increased the number of calories burned at rest. It may also increase levels of human growth hormone (HGH), an important hormone that has been shown to increase fat loss and preserve lean body mass. There are many different ways to do intermittent fasting. Many commonly involve picking an 8–10-hour window to restrict food intake each day. Find a method that works for you and your schedule. SUMMARY Intermittent fasting can improve metabolism, increase fat loss and preserve lean body mass to aid weight loss. 11. Fill up on Veggies Vegetables are incredibly nutrient-dense, supplying ample vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber for a low number of calories. One study showed that each 3.5-ounce (100-gram) increase in daily vegetable consumption was associated with 1.1 pounds (0.5 kg) of weight loss over six months. Another large review of 17 studies in over 500,000 people found that those who ate the most vegetables had a 17% lower risk of being overweight or obese. Many other studies indicate that increasing your fiber consumption from fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, is tied to a decrease in both calorie intake and body weight. For an easy way to raise your veggie quota, squeeze an extra serving or two into side dishes, salads, sandwiches and snacks. SUMMARY Vegetable consumption is linked to increased weight loss and a lower risk of obesity. A higher intake of fiber from foods like vegetables is also associated with decreased calorie intake. 12. Skip the Sauces and Condiments Piling toppings on your favorite foods can quickly turn a healthy meal into a calorie bomb. For example, a single tablespoon (13 grams) of mayonnaise can contain upwards of 90 calories, while ranch dressing packs in a whopping 73 calories per one-tablespoon (15-gram) serving (31, 32). Teriyaki sauce, sour cream, peanut butter and maple syrup are a few other popular sauces and condiments that can cause the calories to stack up fast. Using general calorie calculation methods, you can estimate that cutting even one serving of these high-calorie condiments each day could reduce calorie intake enough to lose up to nine pounds over the course of a year. This can help ramp up weight loss quickly when combined with other methods. Instead, try seasoning your foods with herbs and spices to keep calorie intake low and maximize weight loss. Alternatively, try swapping sauces and condiments for low-calorie options like hot sauce, mustard or horseradish. SUMMARY Many condiments and sauces are high in calories. Cutting them out or swapping them for low-calorie alternatives could aid weight loss. 13. Do HIIT Exercises High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a type of exercise that alternates between quick bursts of activity and brief recovery periods, keeping your heart rate up to boost fat burning and accelerate weight loss. Adding HIIT to your routine can be an incredibly effective tool to lose 10 pounds in a month. In fact, one study in nine men compared the effects of HIIT to running, biking and resistance training, demonstrating that a 30-minute HIIT session burned 25–30% more calories than the other activities. Another study showed that men who did HIIT for just 20 minutes three times per week lost 4.4 pounds (2 kg) of body fat and 17% of belly fat over 12 weeks — without making any other changes to their diet or lifestyle. To get started, try switching out your cardio and doing one or two HIIT workouts per week, alternating between running and walking for 30 seconds at a time. You can also experiment with other activities in your HIIT workouts, such as jumping jacks, squats, push-ups and burpees. SUMMARY HIIT can burn more calories than other forms of exercise, thereby increasing weight loss and fat burning. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({}); 14. Move More Throughout the Day Even when you’re running short on time and can’t squeeze in a full workout, adding small amounts of activity can chip away at body weight. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) refers to the calories your body burns throughout the day by doing regular non-exercise activities like typing, gardening, walking or even fidgeting. It’s estimated that NEAT may account for up to 50% of the total number of calories you burn each day, though this number can vary quite a bit depending on your activity level. Making a few modifications to your daily routine can bump up calorie burning to speed up weight loss with minimal effort. Parking farther back in the parking lot, using the stairs instead of the elevator, taking a walkduring your lunch break and stretching every 30 minutes are a few simple ways to add more movement to your day. SUMMARY Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) can account for up to 50% of the total number of calories you burn each day. Simply moving more throughout the day can help you burn more calories to boost weight loss. The Bottom Line While losing 10 pounds in a month may seem like a lofty goal, it’s entirely possible by making some simple modifications to your diet and lifestyle. Take it one step at a time and make a few small changes each week to lose weight safely and sustainably, keeping it off long term. With a little patience and hard work, you can reach your weight loss goals and improve your overall health in the process. Source: Healthline Read the full article

Good Debt vs. Bad Debt: What's the Difference?

Good Debt vs. Bad Debt: An Overview There certainly is an argument to be made that no debt is good debt, but borrowing money and taking on debt is the only way many people can afford to purchase big-ticket items like homes and cars. While such loans usually are justifiable and bring value to the person taking on the debt, there is another end of the spectrum that involves taking on debt through careless spending on a credit card. While it's easy to differentiate between these two extremes, determining whether or not a debt is good or bad more often involves a deeper analysis of specific circumstances. Good Debt Good debt is exemplified in the old adage "it takes money to make money." If the debt you take on helps you to generate income and increase your net worth, that can be considered positive. There are a few notable things worth going into debt for: Technical or college education. In general, the more education an individual has, the greater that person's earning potential. Education also has a positive correlation with the ability to find employment. Better educated workers are more likely to be employed in good-paying jobs and tend to have an easier time finding new opportunities should the need arise. An investment in a technical or college degree is likely to pay for itself within just a few years of the newly educated worker entering the workforce. To maximize the value of taking on debt for an education, degree programs must be chosen carefully. If there's no career path or little income to be earned from the degree you pursue, your student loans can quickly turn into bad debt. Small business ownership. Making money is one of the main reasons to start a small business, with being your own boss also a positive result of the endeavor. Not only can you avoid reliance on a third party to hire you and give you a paycheck, but your earnings potential can be directly improved by your willingness to work hard. With a bit of luck, you can turn your drive and ambition into a self-sustaining enterprise and perhaps, down the line, an initial public offering (IPO) that results in major wealth. Like education, this too comes with risks. Many small businesses fail, but your chances for success are greater if choosing to work in a field you are passionate and knowledgeable about. Real estate, including homeownership. There is a variety of ways to make money in real estate. On the residential front, the simplest strategy often involves buying a house and living in it for a few decades before selling it at a profit. Residential real estate also can be used to generate income by taking in a boarder or renting out the entire residence. Commercial real estate also can be an excellent source of cash flow and capital gains for investors. Bad Debt While good debt has the potential to increase a person's net worth, it's generally considered to be bad debt if you are borrowing money to purchase depreciatingassets. In other words, if it won't go up in value or generate income, you shouldn't go into debt to buy it. Some particularly notable items related to bad debt include: Cars. New cars, in particular, cost a lot of money. While you may need a vehicle to get yourself to work and to run the errands that make up everyday life, paying interest on a car purchase is simply a waste of money. By the time you leave the car lot, the vehicle already is worth less than it was when you bought it. Put your ego aside and pay cash for a used car, if you can afford to do so. If you can't, take out a loan to buy the least expensive reliable vehicle you can find and pay it off as quickly as you can. Buyers who insist on living beyond their means and financing a new car should look for a loan with little to no interest. While you'll still be spending a large amount of money for something that eventually depreciates until it is worthless, at least you won't be paying interest on it. Clothes, consumables, and other goods and services. It's often said that clothes are worth less than half of what consumers pay to purchase them. If you look around a used clothing store, you'll see that "half" is being generous. As well, vacations, fast food, groceries, and gasoline are all items commonly bought with borrowed money. Every penny spent in interest on these items is money that could have been used more wisely elsewhere. Credit cards are one of the worst forms of bad debt. The interest rates charged are often significantly higher than the rates on consumer loans, and the payment schedules are arranged to maximize costs for the consumer. Keeping a balance on a credit card is rarely a good idea; the interest spent on credit card debt offsets the value of potential rewards. Special Considerations Not all debt can be classified as good or bad so easily. Often it depends on your own financial situation or other factors. A few types of debt may be good for some people but bad for others: Consolidation loans. For consumers who are already in debt, consolidatinghigher-interest debt by taking out a loan at a lower rate of interest can be beneficial. The key is to use the cash that has been freed up from lower payments to keep paying down the debt. Borrowing to invest. Leveraging, or borrowing money at a low interest rate and investing at a higher rate of return (most likely with a margin account), may appear to investors as a solid way to achieve better-than-expected results. Unfortunately, it comes with numerous risks for the inexperienced, as well as the potential hazard of losing a significant amount of money and being required to compensate your broker for the borrowed funds. This is an option that should be pursued only by knowledgeable investors who can afford to absorb losses in the event an investment goes south. Credit card reward programs. There are some great credit card reward programs available for consumers. The money spent using credit cards can help buyers earn free airline tickets, free cruises, cash back, and a host of other benefits. If you have the discipline to pay off your balance every month, this is worthwhile. Otherwise, the interest spent on the credit card debt offsets the value of the rewards. KEY TAKEAWAYS Good debt is a loan that has the potential to increase your net worth. Bad debt involves borrowing money to purchase depreciating assets. Determining whether or not a debt is good or bad sometimes depends on an individual's financial situation, as well as other factors.   Source: Investopedia Read the full article

Thus, the possibility of discrepancies in terms of layout, fittings and amenities is almost nil. – Easy legal status: It is easier to check the legal status of a ready to move in property. There are certain legalities and paperwork that must be completed to allow occupancy in a newly constructed property. Since the construction is complete and the property is ready to use, it verifies the legal compliance of the property. Also, banks provides easy home loans for buying a property in a completed project. – No service Tax: A major benefit of buying a ready to move in house is the tax exclusion that it is entitled to. As per the new tax regime of GST, a 12% tax will be levied on the purchase of an under-construction property. However, GST will not be applicable to the sale of a property after the issuance of the completion certificate. This tax exclusion can save a significant amount of money. Cons of buying a ready to move in property- – Payment plan not flexible: The payment of a ready to move in property requires a large amount of money at one go. To purchase a ready to move in property one has to arrange funds for the down payment, registration fees, stamp duty, maintenance charge all at a time as all these payments are to be paid upfront in one go. Unlike an under-construction property, the payment for ready to move in properties cannot be made in phases. – Increased cost: The price of the ready to move in properties are always inflated. Ready to move in properties are seen to be around 20-30% more expensive than the properties bought during pre-launch and launch period. An under-construction project forecasts an increase in the value of the project by the time it is completed. The price of ready to move home is inclusive of the expected value appreciation of the project. – Limited choice and low scope of modification: Ready to move in homes restrict the options of the buyer. When one decides to buy a ready to move in house in a completed project, chances are very low that the buyer will get a floor/view/unit of his/her preference. It is more like ‘selecting from the rest’. Plus, apart from small internal changes and modifications, it is not possible to incorporate any substantial modification in ready property. – Possibility of RERA exclusion: The RERA act governing the real estate sector of the country became effective from 1st May 2017. However, those properties which obtained occupancy certificate prior to the commencement of the act will not be under the ambit of RERA. In that case, developers can hide some vital information about the property, in case there is any non-compliance. Whether you want to buy an under construction property or ready to move in property, you can fund your purchase by taking a home loan from Bajaj Finserv Homes & Loans. It offers home loans and also provides other services like assistance in property search, guidance on legalities and paperwork, property dossier etc. Source: PostMyHub Read the full article

7 Effective Tips to Lose Fat in Your Face

Losing weight can be a challenge on its own, let alone from a specific area of your body.

Particularly, extra fat in the face is an incredibly frustrating problem to solve. Fortunately, plenty of strategies can increase fat burning and help slim down your face. Here are 7 effective methods to help you lose fat in your face. 1. Do Facial Exercises Facial exercises can be used to improve facial appearance, combat aging and improve muscle strength. Anecdotal reports claim that adding facial exercises to your regular routine can also tone facial muscles, making your face appears slimmer. Some of the most popular exercises involve puffing out your cheeks and pushing the air from side to side, puckering your lips on alternating sides and holding a smile while clenching your teeth for several seconds at a time. Although evidence is limited, one review reported that facial exercises may build muscle tone in your face. Another study showed that performing facial muscle exercises twice a day for eight weeks increased muscle thickness and improved facial rejuvenation. Keep in mind that research is lacking on the effectiveness of facial exercises for fat loss specifically. More studies are needed to evaluate how these exercises may impact facial fat in humans. SUMMARY By toning your facial muscles, face exercises could make your face appear slimmer. Although research is limited, one study found that performing facial muscle exercises improved muscle thickness and facial rejuvenation. 2. Add Cardio to Your Routine Oftentimes, extra fat in your face is the result of excess body fat. Losing weight can increase fat loss and help slim down both your body and face. Cardio, or aerobic exercise, is any type of physical activity that increases your heart rate. It’s widely considered one of the most effective methods for weight loss. Multiple studies have found that cardio can help promote fat burning and increase fat loss. What’s more, a review of 16 studies showed that people experienced greater fat loss with increased cardio exercise. Try to get 150–300 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise each week, which translates to approximately 20–40 minutes of cardio per day. Some common examples of cardio exercise include running, walking, biking and swimming. SUMMARY Cardio, or aerobic exercise, can help promote fat burning and fat loss to help slim down your face. 3. Drink More Water Drinking water is crucial for your overall health and can be especially important if you’re looking to lose facial fat. Studies suggest that water can keep you feeling full and enhance weight loss. In fact, one small study in older adults found that drinking water with breakfast decreased calorie intake by approximately 13%. Another study showed that drinking water temporarily increased metabolism by 24%. Increasing the number of calories you burn over the course of the day can help boost weight loss. What’s more, staying hydrated is thought to decrease fluid retention, which prevents bloating and puffiness in your face. SUMMARY Drinking water can decrease calorie intake and temporarily increase metabolism. It may also reduce fluid retention to prevent bloating and swelling in your face. 4. Limit Alcohol Consumption While enjoying the occasional glass of wine with dinner is fine, going overboard with your alcohol intake can be one of the biggest contributors to increased facial fat and bloating. Alcohol is high in calories but low in nutrients and may be associated with an increased risk of weight gain. Keeping your alcohol consumption in check is the best way to control alcohol-induced bloating and weight gain. According to US Dietary Guidelines, moderate drinking is defined as up to two drinks per day for men and up to one drink per day for women. SUMMARY Excessive alcohol intake may contribute to weight gain, including fat gain in the face. 5. Cut Back on Refined Carbs Refined carbs like cookies, crackers and pasta are common culprits of weight gain and increased fat storage. These carbs have been heavily processed, stripping them of their beneficial nutrients and fiber and leaving little behind besides sugar and calories. Because they contain very little fiber, they are digested rapidly, leading to spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels and a higher risk of overeating. One large study looking at the diets of 42,696 adults over a five-year period showed that a higher intake of refined carbs was associated with a higher amount of belly fat. Although no studies have looked directly at refined carbs’ effects on facial fat, swapping them out for whole grains can help increase overall weight loss and may also aid facial fat loss. SUMMARY Refined carbs can increase blood sugar levels and lead to overeating and increased fat. Switching to whole grains may help increase facial fat loss. 6. Switch up Your Sleep Schedule Catching up on sleep is an important general weight-loss strategy. It may also help you lose facial fat. Sleep deprivation can cause an increase in levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that comes with a long list of potential side effects, including weight gain. Studies have shown that high cortisol levels can increase appetite and alter metabolism, resulting in increased fat storage. Furthermore, squeezing in more sleep may help you shed extra pounds. One study found that better sleep quality was associated with an increased likelihood of weight loss success. Conversely, studies show that sleep deprivation can increase food intake, cause weight gain and lower metabolism. Ideally, aim for at least eight hours of sleep per night to aid weight control and facial fat loss. SUMMARY Sleep deprivation can alter metabolism and increase food intake, weight gain and cortisol levels. Therefore, getting enough sleep may help you increase facial fat loss. 7. Watch Your Sodium Intake One hallmark of excess sodium intake is bloating, and it may also contribute to facial puffiness and swelling. This is because sodium causes your body to hold extra water, resulting in fluid retention. Several studies have shown that a higher intake of sodium can increase fluid retention, especially in people who are more sensitive to the effects of salt. Processed foods account for an estimated 77% of sodium intake in the average diet, so cutting out convenience foods, savory snacks and processed meats can be an easy and effective way to cut your sodium intake. Consider reducing your sodium intake to make your face appear slimmer. SUMMARY Reducing your intake of sodium may help reduce fluid retention and decrease bloating and puffiness in your face. The Bottom Line There are plenty of methods available to help you lose extra fat in your face. Switching up your diet, adding exercise to your routine and adjusting some of your daily habits are all effective ways to boost fat loss and slim down your face. For best results, be sure to pair these tips with a balanced diet and regular exercise to optimize your fat burning and overall health. Source: Healthline Read the full article

The 7 Fascinating Differences Between How Men And Women Fall In Love, According To Science

When it comes to dating and forming relationships, there aren't too many differences between how men and women fall in love. Due to biology and societal expectations, the process of falling in love can vary slightly between them, in terms of what each might value, who traditionally says "I love you" first, and so on. But in general, love is love. And if there are any differences, it's usually much more focused on how men and women actually show their love once they're already dating, than anything else. The truth of the matter is, love is difficult to define and measure. And it can be even more difficult to define across gender lines. "It is difficult to ... study 'falling in love' because of the subjective nature of the experience," psychologist Dr. Danielle Forshee tells Bustle. "Evidence suggests that men and women differ in their expressions of emotions and in their descriptions of related thoughts." But, at the end of the day, gender is just a construct, and not everyone will share experiences based on gendered expectations. When it comes to love, there ultimately are no rules, but science has found some interesting trends to consider. Here's what the research has to say regarding women, men, and love.

1. Men Might Experience Feelings Of Love Faster

"One recent study found that men tend to fall in love, and express feelings of love, more quickly than do women, despite believing that women fall more quickly," Jonathan Bennett and David Bennett, dating experts and founders of Double Trust Dating, tell Bustle. So even though movies and popular culture might have us believing that women are the ones falling first, there are certainly no hard and fast rules. There may, however, be some biology at play. "The authors concluded that this makes sense primarily because ... women have to be more guarded about falling for for evolutionary reasons," they say, whereas men may have less to lose. Of course this isn't the case for everyone, but it is something to consider.

2. Men May Say "I Love You" First

Going off of that same idea, studies have shown that men in relationships with women are typically the first ones to say "I love you" in a new relationship. "A study by Harrison and Shortall (2011) found that men tend to fall in love faster than women. Contrary to popular belief that women are the first to be more expressive in a relationship, the study showed that men are more likely to 'I love you' first," Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert at Maple Holistics, tells Bustle. "Women, on the other hand, enter relationships more cautiously," and may wait longer to say these all-important words. Again, not a rule, but something observed in research perhaps due to evolution.

3. Women Might Say "I Love You" More Often

Once a couple is already together, however, women in relationships with men tend to say "I love you," much more often, research finds. As Dr. Forshee says, "Cross-cultural research has indicated that females tend to say 'I love you' more than males." And, the phrase might mean a lot more to women than it does to men, says science. "Overall, research suggests that women list their partners' expressions of 'I love you' in their top 10 romantic acts, but men do not. If men possess knowledge that women find 'I love you' to be romantic, men may communicate what their partners want to hear with the objective of advancing the relationship." This may also be based in biology. "From an evolutionary perspective, women saying 'I love you' may communicate commitment, and they would benefit from saying this because it would assure them the ability to pair up with a male, especially based on the fact that they can only reproduce for a certain period of time," Dr. Forshee says. Even though these are modern times, it's something that may have stuck with some people.

4. Women Are More Likely To Focus Their Love

Think back to your high school or middle school days, and all those crushes you had. Did you tend to focus your love and affection on one individual? Or were you pretty much in love with everyone? One study "showed that adolescent males fall in love more quickly, and do so more often, i.e. falling for a variety of girls, whereas girls tend more to fixate on a smaller number of guys," Jonathan and David Bennett say. Of course, this doesn't mean that all women attracted to men zero in on one man, while their male counterparts are off falling in love with everyone they see. It all comes down to the individual.

5. Women May Be Less Visual When Falling In Love

A "man can fall very easily 'from afar,' and know very quickly if he is in love," Jonathan and David Bennett say. "A woman tends to assess feelings of love based on physical attraction along with other factors (including a potential partner's personality), which means it may take longer for a woman to 'warm up' to a potential partner, and the person can grow on her over time." This might have to do with biology, since according to brain studies men tend to be more visual, and thus may experience the "love at first sight" phenomena.

6. Women & Men Look For Similar Qualities In Long-Term Partners

Remember how I said there aren't too many differences when it comes to falling in love? Well, that seems to be reflected in the research, as both sexes seem to be interested in the same things when looking for relationships. "Overall, evidence reflects that men and women report similar preferences for a long-term partner, and include traits such as kindness, intelligence, understanding, and someone who loves them in return," Dr. Forshee says. I mean, who doesn't want that?

7. Men Are More Likely To Feel Like Their Love Isn't Reciprocated

There are so many factors that go into the feeling of falling in love, so men and women can certainly differ in this arena. A 2010 study conducted by Andrew Halperin and Martie Hazleton at the University of California, Los Angeles, for instance, showed that even though "women and men did not differ in either their lifetime number of loves or likelihood of falling in love first," men did report in the study a greater number "of 'loves at first sight,' as well as a higher percentage of loves that were not reciprocated, indicating men’s greater willingness to fall in love during the courtship stage." The researchers also found that for men in the study, but not women, overperception of others’ sexual interest was linked with more frequently falling in love, as was placing a high value on physical attractiveness. The thing to keep in mind, is that love is tough to define, and thus can be difficult to research. Women and men may express themselves differently, or experience things through a different lens, but at the end of the day, love is love — and gender doesn't always play a role.
