Yerba Mate: The Essential Facts You Need to Know About This Healthy Beverage
Origin and History of South Africa tea South Africa tea is a plant native to subtropical South America. It has been cultivated and consumed as a beverage for centuries by the Guarani and other indigenous peoples of southern South America, including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. The South Africa tea plant is an evergreen tree or large shrub that can grow up to 13 meters tall. Its leaves and twigs are used to make the South Africa tea beverage after they are dried and aged. Indigenous peoples discovered the benefits of South Africa tea and began drinking it for its many health properties and stimulating effects long before Europeans arrived in South America. South Africa tea drinking traditions became ingrained in the culture and beliefs of the Guarani and other native groups. Nutritional Profile and Health Benefits of Yerba Mate South Africa tea contains an abundance of important vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other health-boosting plant compounds. A typical serving contains potassium, manganese, copper, magnesium, various B vitamins like riboflavin and niacin, and vitamin A. South Africa tea is also packed with antioxidants, especially polyphenols. The main active components believed to provide South Africa tea's benefits are methylxanthines like caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. Studies have linked South Africa tea consumption to weight management, boosted energy and mental focus, reduced inflammation, and lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The antioxidants in South Africa tea may help protect cells from free radical damage. Many users also swear by its energizing effects without the jitteriness of coffee. Preparing and Enjoying South Africa tea South Africa tea is traditionally prepared using a small hollowed gourd called a Yerba Mate or calabash and a bombilla, a filtered metal straw. Loose South Africa tea leaves are added to the gourd along with hot but not boiling water around 150-175 degrees Fahrenheit. The bombilla allows for sipping the beverage without ingesting leaf particles. South Africa tea can also be enjoyed using a French press, tea filter or infuser, or ready-to-drink canned or bottled forms. The intensity depends on steeping time - shorter sessions result in a milder taste. Enjoy on its own or blend South Africa tea into smoothies, juices or drinks. The taste has been compared to green tea with nuances of grass, hay and nuts. An acquired taste for some, South Africa tea has a strong, earthy flavor profile. Cultural and Social Significance Drinking Yerba Mate is ingrained in South American culture and constitutes an important social tradition, ritual and bonding experience. In countries like Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil, sharing mate is an integral part of daily life and brings people together. Often consumed from a shared gourd using the same bombilla, the act of sharing mate is a sign of friendship, trust and solidarity. People commonly drink mate in groups outdoors at social gatherings, parks, or on construction sites. "Pase el mate" or "pass the mate" is a common phrase for offering it to another. Special social "mateadas" or mate drinking sessions are also organized for holidays and events. The sharing of the South Africa tea drink represents generosity, hospitality and togetherness at the core of social celebrations in these cultures. Get more insights on Yerba Mate

Once I was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts was like “the key to confidence isn’t never making mistakes and knowing everything, but making mistakes and being totally okay w the fact because everyone makes mistakes and it’s not a statement about your worth” and oh my god okay. My trauma bond w shame is dying a slow death.
#I feel like until my prefrontal cortex is developed I’ll just be prone to freaking out#So I’ll artificially stimulate whatever 30 something year old brains effuse naturally by meditating#And continuing the hunt for a therapist who is much older than me 🩷#My current therapist is cute I think I just need older ppl to dissect my ill diseased mind too

Is there anything from before being locked up that Narinder still does? Habits that he might still have, rituals he might still try to do, anything from godhood he has to get used to not being able to do anymore?
He has a hovering-issue when it comes to running the Cult and doing Rituals (ESPECIALLY Blood rituals. He does not condone them, as they are ancient and incredibly dangerous/instable). He's also had to get used to being so small and incredibly weak.
The Crown no longer gives him eldritch strength, and his body has pretty much lost most of its muscle mass because of it, having been born extremely weak and sickly. The physical traits took longer to revert.
But, the thing he struggles with the most is how large the world is and how the fresh air still burns his lungs. How the pressure makes his bones ache. When the weather starts to drop, how he now experiences migraines and illnesses which leaves him sicker than most with his naturally unwell body. He spent so many centuries wanting out of his small prison, but had not considered (enough) how large in comparison the outside would be. The depth leaves him feeling too open and vulnerable.
Luckily, his spouse has a love for big blankets (too many of them), good for hiding.
The first years without one was no fun. They thought he was lazy, hiding away every day in his shelter, though it was only partly true.
#years of a constant and unbearable state of over stimulation#alongside the crown's descending which takes an aggressive physical and mental toll#much like the ascension of the crown#his mellowed-out state later came from both reverting to his natural personality and the trauma that lead to detatchment#cult of the lamb#ask response

do you crave to be home playing with your sims while you’re out or are you normal
#ugh i’ve been out all day 😭#i had to sit through a two and a half hour marvel movie (actual hell) (for me)#it was my husbands work thing and it was free as the whole company went and then we had lunch after and omg bro#i can’t socialize for the rest of the week actually. i’m tired. overly stimulated as heck.#being a naturally quiet and shy person with anxiety is hard when you’re surrounded by outgoing extroverts for hours lol#anyway. i’m in the car going home now. i just want to work on my sims story 🫠#it’s just hard choosing to be out on a weekend when it’s where most my free time is lmao like. huh i could be playing sims rn#oh being an adult and having hobbies and a social life and work is hard

If dazai and chuuya ever try to have a normal conventional happy life i feel that it would just end up like that one episode of it's always sunny in philly where Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs
#bsd#they cant be normal sorry#like putting two feral wild animals in a spa#chuuya is walking around in circles and dazai is plucking his hair out of stress and lack of stimulation these are not the right conditions#thats NOT their natural habitat#bungou stray dogs#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#bsd dazai osamu#bsd chuuya nakahara#bsd chuuya#chuuya nakahara#nakahara chuuya bsd#bsd nakahara chuuya#soukoku#bsd soukoku#skk#dennis is chuuya and dazai is mac#they switch depending on the scene#im not saying they cannot have a normal life its just this mf have been in the mafia or in some kind of gang kind of shit organisation#their WHOLE LIVES

sometimes I have autistic realizations that hit really hard.
I'm listening to a podcast (science vs) episode about meditation and what it does/how you do it/if it works. first there was an example of a meditation for mindfulness and focusing on breathing and how it feels. I was thinking how that seems pointless because i'm always aware of how it feels to breathe: my chronically stuffy nose, asthma, ribcage/back hurting if I breathe too deep/etc. but I already knew I have to think about breathing more than most people or I might accidentally hold my breath, and my chronic stuffy nose is very annoying to deal with.
then this part i'm at now talks about how most people go through taking a shower without really realizing they're doing it, like they arent feeling the shower sensations and just go through the motions. so mindful showering is feeling the water on your skin, feeling the temperature of the water and how it changes, etc. "being present, knowing what it feels like, knowing you are there and alive and having that experience..." and that's what mindfulness is.
the thing about me, due to being autistic, i'm basically practicing mindfulness 24/7 against my will. my sensory units in my brain are on constant overdrive and I cannot turn them off. i'm aware of every sensation and feeling and sound and etc at all times and can't ignore them.
the big realization this gave me is that...I'm profoundly aware of being alive and present. i'm overly aware of what i'm experiencing at all times. while most people can use mindfulness to ground themselves from overwhelm and anxiety caused by every day life worries, I GET anxiety and overwhelm from mindfulness-like experiences.
how do i tune things out and turn off my brain? I need an anti-mindfulness method that isn't dissociating out of my mind 😅
#autism#autistic#actually autistic#mindfulness#any other autistic people feel this way ir have this experience?#I feel like mindfulness could help the autistic people with low sensory feeling and need more stimulation#but for the ones who are always overstimulated and have high sensory experiences its so pointless#ive had it suggested to me so much and it always sounds so absurd to focus deeply on things i cant ignore......#its exhausting to be unable to ignore them so making me focus more on them would possibly throw me into a panic attack?#brains are interesting#i dissociate a lot and its always the first thing people suggest. but i think one reason i dissociate is#my constant unintentional mindfulness i naturally do that i cant shut off 😅#sometimes the way to turn it off is to dissociate to hell and back lmao

Penny
D: Mistakes? Well, let's go through some of Sammy's greatest hits. Drinking demon blood, check. Being in cahoots with Ruby. Not telling me that you lost your soul. Or how about running around with Samuel for a whole year, letting me think that you were dead while you're doing all kinds of crazy. Those aren't mistakes, Sam. Those are choices!
D: Look, man, I don't even remember what I said, but, uh –
S: But what? But you didn't mean it? Oh, please. You and I both know you didn't need that penny to say those things.
D: Come on, Sam.
S: Own up to your crap, Dean. I told you from the jump where I was coming from, why I didn't look for you. But you? You had secrets. You had Benny. And you got on your high and mighty, and you've been kicking me ever since you got back. But that's over. So move on, or I will.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
D: Your blood's supposed to be purified, isn't it? You ever, uh -- you ever done the "forgive me, father" before?
Well, I mean, I could give you suggestions if you want.
All right. Well, I'm just spit-balling here, but if I were you, uh... Ruby, killing Lilith, letting Lucifer out, losing your soul, not looking for me when I went to Purgatory, for starters. Or, hey, h-how about what you did to, uh, Penny Markle in the sixth grade? Why don't you lead with that?
S: Well, that was you.
D: Carry on.
S: You can barely do it with me. I mean, you think I screw up everything I try. You think I need a chaperone, remember?
D: Come on, man. That's not what I meant.
S: No, it's exactly what you meant. You want to know what I confessed in there? What my greatest sin was? It was how many times I let you down. I can't do that again.
D: You seriously think that? Because none of it -- none of it -- is true. Listen, man, I know we've had our disagreements, okay? Hell, I know I've said some junk that set you back on your heels. But, Sammy...come on. I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this bastard and all the sons of bitches that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you! It has never been like that, ever! I need you to see that. I'm begging you.
sam’s faults
purgatory
#what side of the coin will you be today?#none of it -- none of it -- is true#it has never been like that ever#i wonder where sam could have gotten these ideas from#hop in my car i'll drive you to the edge#tries to jump over the edge#i wanted you to teeter how could you ever think i'd want you to jump i need you#the writing isn't subtle and yet...#spn 8x06#spn 8x23#matter in a state having no fixed shape and no fixed volume#natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible#none of the things sam is accused of are a result of him being deliberately bad#dean knows ruby manipulated sam and that he was predisposed to be addicted to demon blood from 6 months old#dean and sam both know heaven and hell tricked them into freeing lucifer#sam absolves dean of any guilt from that#but dean can’t do the same#dean blames sam for coming back soulless#absolutely not sam’s fault but it’s one more thing to blame on him to hurt him#they had an agreement to not obsess over reviving each other again and again#dean locking sam in the panic room#something sam never holds against him#the horrible voicemail the one sam never uses against dean#these things are so obvious why are people stupid#sam always had good intentions he just wanted to help people but he was doomed from the beginning#whatever dean did he was always in the right because he was chosen by heaven#even when sam got to be the hero and throw himself into the cage with lucifer he was atoning for his mistakes#and dean and bobby let him go to hell all the while thinking he deserved it#and sam believes when dean and everyone else tells him he has darkness inside even though he’s the kindest heart among them#all because he was groomed to be the devils vessel and because he wanted freedom from the life his family tried to guilt him into

Writing is the one activity where I prefer to have total silence. So I got a pair of earplugs. I can't recommend it enough. I can take them with me anywhere I write, and it blocks most ambient sounds and talking, so I can just live in the world of my story.
#writing#talking about writing#on writing#on writers#the writing process#focus#writing advice#earplugs#silence#silence is a beautiful thing#I listen to music or audiobooks like all the time in the rest of my life#but with writing I need to focus hard#I honestly dont know how other people listen to music with lyrics while writing#I need something noise blocking because my desk is right next to my partner's gaming desk#the silence is lovely#I don't even like those “nature sounds” asmr videos while writing#I want zero stimulation so I can live in my story

Trying to figure out the difference between "this feeling of general apathy about work will pass" and "this feeling of general apathy about work won't pass"
#it's like. i'm not FEELING when I think about my field#i'm not FEELING when I teach -- even though I'm still fighting for my undergrads as best as possible#I don't feel anything about the conferences over the horizon for me...or the papers that I have to write for them#i haven't even booked my plane tickets and accommodations...partially because that'd mean they're real#i have a deadline coming up for an article I was excited to publish -- I barely want to touch it#and it's like...I *know* I love my field#...so why don't I *now*?#i don't want to work on my prospectus...even though I've wanted nothing else for three years#...is it just TOO MUCH at once or too little stimulation without classwork#or am i just. tired.#and has this been the natural conclusion of the last three years

allow me to channel aziraphale and be delusional for a moment (❤️) but i really do believe angels are, by default, sky cats. if they weren’t stuck in an understimulating environment and forced to stare at white walls all day, they (probably) wouldn’t slap fight each other and start pointless wars. give them a week on earth, set them loose, and they’d be like that video of cats cautiously following around a roomba. they’re naturally curious and dumb as bricks. you could, theoretically, stop the war with a laser pointer and some imagination.
#good omens#i’m like the jackson galaxy for angels (& demons tbh)#give them some toys! stimulation! white walls & dark cramped spaces are not their natural environment

ok last thing, I feel Meredith is exactly like Grace Hanson in Grace and Frankie when she's like "weed doesn't affect me" so she smokes a ton and then it hits her after like a train??
That's Mere.
#HEADCANON.#drugs tw#I fear that Mere is normally a cocaine user so#she's used to the stimulant variety not the depressor type (though alcohol counts)#so she doesntreally feel it until after a while and then she is out#though knowing her paranoia she probably doesnt smoke weed bc it makes her natural level of it go crazy#v: MODERN

EATING A FRESH FUCKING BAGUETTE. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THIS PAST NEAR-FULL YEAR HAS BEEN SANS LES VRAIES BAGUETTES
#or eating something yummy that i've been craving be it sweet or umami#anyway yeah baguettes here are shit. even in the fancy shops and bakeries they're not as good#taking a walk in nature is a need for my sanity#filming last thursday was great because we were deep in the countryside#and i went insane this morning because roadfuckingwork#a full decent night's sleep undisturbed is AMAZING too. can only get that back in the countryside#listening to music or a play with my favourite actress too is wonderful <3#and having intellectually and artistically stimulating conversations#drinking cold sparkling italian water and also drinking fresh water sourced from a well#and then making my space smell nice - like burning incense and having my salt lamp on#admiring my books and collection of vintage things and art#there are many many things!!#but these are the simpler ones i think#a gentle breeze on a summer's day is great too#or a clear cold sunny winter's day#anon ask#asked and answered#OH seeing the moon and stars on a clear night too
