HI ... SMILING SO HARD.
I rarely log onto this account so I'm late ... OUGH THIS IS MAKING ME SO HAPPY THOUGH.
NGGGH CAN WE LISTEN TO "Foxy Foxy" by Rob Zombie together !??!?!
This is so awesome ...
This is going to sound so crass but I'm just trying to refer to a phenomenon so bear with me: You know how people tend to keep finding certain stories, certain patterns or situations, in their art or in the art they see, and it's a perspective unique to them that has to do with whatever life they have lived and whatever imprint it has left on their psyche? It's an expression of the raw material of the mindbody? Or whatever?
Well my point is that when it comes to the character of Vegeta, he represents some specific things to me, and I tend to need a few different things out of him - and one of those tropes that I seem to keep putting him in is the role of the unequivocal abuser/MONSTER. Usually I have to admit that I'm just throwing him under the bus (or reaching if I do have some sort of explanation per his proposed psychological state), but in THIS INSTANCE, it's JUSTIFIED because he really WASN'T anyone commendable yet!!!!! He hadn't changed his ways or reflected on how his history or philosophies are keeping his spirit down. He hasn't attempted any healing.
It's less overt but I've caught myself peddling this one too many times for it to be innocuous: I tend to need Trunks to experience UTTER BETRAYAL. Just the absolute shaking-shuttering of a shattered trust-bond, where the only reflex that remains is to retreat and isolate.
THIS IS BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
THIS CONCEPT AWAKENED SOMETHING IN ME ... In truth it would have bounced off of me if it weren't for previous ghoulish stories that had me open to these sorts of things, but, this one was interesting, and I had a lot of fun piecing it apart / mulling it over / figuring out what it could mean / why it struck me the way it did / what I could do with it.
In the end, it's really something poetic... succinct and distilled. There's a lot of room for discussions about reenactment, the pervasive trend of parents not respecting their children's boundaries, the power dynamics therein, sexual repression and sexual perversion, the duo nature of the sexual instinct and how the yin-yang aspect of it could be disturbed and abused, how hurt people hurt people, ETC - LITERALLY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE - all from the epicenter of one tangible event:
That old man fucked him in the Room of Spirit and Time. (<- A venerated place meant to teach discipline and constitution, but that never once promised to protect you...!)
I agree that people are afraid of the "antis" -> they are afraid of being outcasted -> they don't feel like they are strong enough to defend themselves -> they are afraid of themselves and of their own potential to resonate with art that is not palatable to the shallow ego and current trends of astringent (but not meaningful!) morality.
THATS SO FUNNY THAT BITCHES HIT LIKE ON YOUR FICS THO!! BUT JUST DONT WANT TO BE SEEN READING IT ... GAH.
Also like other than how fucked up this is the comedic potential is also like .... there. Future Trunks lying in bed in the room of spirit and time tyring to sleep and obviously not sleeping and thinking in his head "Okay Today Was Messed Up But Um I Mean I Mean I'm Sure theres some Meaning to it like some Reason Um ... Um ... OK So I'm going to deal with this when i get Out becasue for now I just have to make it throuhg the year." And then when they do exit the room we can see Future Trunks walk out Hair Unkempt & Overgrown and his posture looks stuck-scared-stiff and his muscles are all constricted because he is still carrying the trauma but he thinks "OK we just have to defeat Cell first and then I can go home and process this then." And then when he does go back to his own timeline he's like "Oh that was all LITERALLY in the past why would i think about that .. I just wont think about it ever again." And so he does nothing to try to work throuhg it or create a sense of safety within himself or anything.
And then when he has to come back Vegeta is such a different man and Future Trunks thinks to himself that he has to be "mature" about this so he conducts himself as if he wasn't tortured by Vegeta in the Room of Spirit and Time all those years ago ... And he hangs out with his present self and he's trying to look interested while little Trunks talks about Minecraft but Future Trunks is stuck thinking on loop in his head "HE IS IN DANGER. HE IS IN DANGER. HE IS IN DANGER."
Becasue he hasn't resolve the original trauma and he is hypervigilant and by instinct he is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
IT'S SO MORBID..... But funny..... Idk ...SORRY FOR RAMBLING AGAIN ....
Oh my god this made me so happy you have no idea. I feel like it's just been me out here in the trenches writing in my journals ... it's so refreshing to see another user openly acknowledge and peddle fucked up shit. Like as long as this is a safe space I'm just gonna say that the story that had me right before I found this fic (and what had those doors of consideration open for me) was a story where EOZ Goten finds himself being .. Well what's the term .. GROOMED by Vegeta. I understand that formally Vegeta is very much a virtuous man by this point in time but the ETERNAL DEPTH and NUANCE of the MADNESS compelled me .. What can i say I evidently needed to express it. (And TBH the spin-off versions were ADDICTIVELY HILARIOUS and IMMENSELY POPULAR (to the audience of myself))
THANK YOU..........

Women Talk About Their First Time Masturbation Experience Part 2 | Girls Interview 2018 11. Michaela, Age 17 "I was probably, like, 15 my first time. It was a really awkward and clumsy experience, and I felt guilty for doing it. I just use my hand, and usually if I'm in the mood to do it, I really don't need to think about anything else to help. It makes me feel proud that I'm secure enough with myself and my body to do it. I'm not ashamed at all because theres nothing wrong with doing it. It's a great way to relieve stress." 12. Jordyn, Age 19 "I was 18 when I first tried. It was a super uncomfortable feeling. I think because I felt like it was a 'dirty' thing to do — even though the reason I was trying it in the first place was to familiarize myself with my body while I'm alone so I'd be comfortable and know my body when I was with my boyfriend as our relationship got more serious. I just Googled how to do it. The website I read had a ton of different ways to do it. I used my showerhead. I switched the water power setting to a soft little stream. I moved past feeling dirty or embarrassed about masturbating, because I realized how comfy I am with my body now. I'm proud that I'm so in tune with myself." 13. Kelly, Age 19 "I was 17 the first time I did it. At first, I didn't know what to do, and then I kind of just learned to move my hips around to get different feelings. I like to fantasize about guys when I'm doing it and I let the faucet do all the work. I want to try it with a dildo or vibrator, but I just don't have the guts to go buy one and risk getting caught with it in my room." 14. Lacey, Age 17 "I've tried talking to my friends about masturbation. I think they felt uncomfortable and a little astonished that I was so open with my sexuality. I think masturbation is a completely normal and healthy expression of loving your body and who you are. Over the years, I've shifted from feeling guilty to feeling proud of my body." 15.

From year darknes to cold rains: 20 garbs that changed readers’ lives | Sarah Marsh and Guardian readers
Small changes can sometimes make the biggest difference. Here our readers show the pastimes or routines that might form 2017 that fragment brighter
We are what we frequently do. Excellence, then, is not just a act, but a attire. If its good enough for Aristotle, its good enough for us. So what customs or procedures is impossible to take up to improve 2017?
We asked our readers about the one small change that has obligated the biggest gap to their lives here are 20 that might just make the year ahead a bit brighter.
1 Cold-water swimming
I suffer with depression and nervousnes, and have done for about 10 years. I watched a programme called The Doctor Who Make Up Drugs last autumn. I hated the first episode, but watched the second to see how the status of women trying cold-water swimming to help with her depression got on. I was surprised to see it genuinely facilitated her, so decided to give it a go. After my first swimming, I was hooked.
Jennifer Brooks, Gloucestershire
2 A daily noon walk
This is a good way to escape from my desk and switch off from wreak. Its also great to search the locals and detect obscured pearls. It wasnt a hard practice to introduce. When I am busier its harder to step outside, but more fruitful. Those few moments away facilitate me refocus when I get back to the office.
Ross, London
3 Stop shouting
I stopped wailing ten years ago, and havent elevated my articulation since. I used to shout at my small children when I was forestalled; it was an subconscious response, but it wasnt a constructive manner of are working with developments in the situation, and it would take hours to recover from the remorse I detected afterwards. My boys often didnt is understandable I was so upset. So I stopped wailing. It was hard at first( I had to count to 10 to calm down) but now I feel much better and more in control. I speak in a measured road and happens get done because I have gained other folks respect.
Clara, the south-west
4 Baking bread
No more processed rubbish the bread I constitute is wholesome and full of smell. It stops well, too, much better than the shop-bought material. There is no finer moment than knocking back a container of dough after its first fermentation. Its a great road of destressing. Lately Ive been stimulating no-knead eat which savours good but doesnt affluence stress fairly so well. Ive too started reaching my own pizzas, which has been just as fun.
Anonymous
5 Mindfulness meditation
I inserted mindfulness musing into “peoples lives” to promotion cope with a history of blood pressure and feeling. Centring on my breathing and telling myself to live in the now stopped me panicking. At first, I appeared I had to lie down in a quiet room, light-footed candles and perform for 20 times. But now I can do it anywhere. Even if you end up doing reflection for three minutes a day its worth noting. It has helped me improve my relationships and vocation. Mindfulness brakes me down, facilitates me accept the things I cannot change and was understood that and who I have in my life. It has obligated me more grateful.
Elaine Kingett, London
6Yoga
I started doing yoga twice a week to get rid of headaches. It wasnt difficult to start because I was already activity, but it took a while to get are applied to it, because I envisioned yoga looked a bit boring at first. Now I cannot live without it. Its the one thing that helps with my headaches, and it should certainly improved my quality of life.
Amanda, Cape Town
7 Stop bringing work home
I made a conscious decision to ensure my own personal life and relationships were my priority away from drive, and took operate emails off my phone. This has actually realized me a lot more efficient at work, especially when scheduling my time.
Anjum Peerbacos, London
8 Unicycle
I started unicycling with the rest of my family about 12 years ago, but every week it felt like I was starting all over again, while others developed. About a year ago I discovered a physio about an unrelated tendernes and he noted that I had poor abdominal muscle feeling. I started doing the exercises he gave me and discovered my unicycling was improving. Over the year I were eventually learned to mount the unicycle. I also had the confidence to take part in a freestyle number at the national championships and am now unicycling to work and back formerly a few weeks. I am still not brilliant, but I am so happy to be able to do this and to identify definite improvement.
Cathy, Canberra
9 Learn to play a musical instrument
I learned to play the fiddle. I started from scratch( playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) and been in a position to play over 100 chants by ear. I can also read music gradually and enjoy playing with others. Im now reading the ukulele, very. It is enormous fun and I feel a real sense of accomplishment. I did not play any musical instrument until my early 50 s, and am continuing to improve. Its also been a great room to reach new friends.
Marie Therese Allison, Glasgow
10 Wake up an hour earlier each morning
I decided to start waking up an hour earlier every morning 5.30 am instead of 6.30 am. I now start my date by doing a few sunlight salutations, followed by a prayer( which I use to be appreciative rather than asking for anything ), and then write in my periodical. This change has helped me keep in contact with myself and my emotions.
Kelly, Indianapolis
11 Drink enough water
I used to get awful headaches but then I started to drink at the least two litres of water a day. After about five years of doing this my headaches have now gone away, my scalp is soft and clear, and I have more vigour. I notice that when I dont booze enough for a few dates my form feels like its ranging at half the rate it should be. This has is an element of the best situations Ive done for my body.
Emily, Lancashire
12 Cycle to work
I embarked cycling to work last-place summer( its exclusively five miles and its frequently quicker than driving ). I did it because I seemed I wasnt getting enough exercising. It was also because driving and taking modes of public transport through London is expensive and stressful. My travel to work is fun now. Some of it implies busy roads( where I find myself engulf queues of cars ). But Ive too detected some neat quiet signposted cycle roadways through back streets. I appear healthier and my leg muscles are certainly more powerful than they were.
Caroline, London
13 Pilates
After a hip procedure I started pilates as part of my rehabilitation. It made a huge difference to my mobility so I find a local class at the recreation centre. Ive been get most weeks for several years. Im practically 50 but been thinking about 20 years younger. Pilates strengthened and arranged me in key core orbits: I can get up from the floor without applying my hands; I can stand for hours; and I rarely have backache.
Mike, Cheshire
14 Date night
About three years ago our three daughters were finally old-fashioned enough to look after themselves on a Friday evening, or to go out with their friends. So my bride and I decided to make it our date darknes. We go for a meal or beverages, sometimes with other friends. After so many years of relinquishing our times for “their childrens” it has been wonderful to take my partner for a date every week. I actually look forward to us investing caliber time together.
Philip West, Istanbul
15 Tai chi
Twenty years ago I started learning tai chi and six years ago it became my daily rehearsal. Every morning I do yoga to extend and then tai chi to match, settle and ground myself. Tai chi isnt quick to pick up; it took four years just to discover the pattern and its business practices that is never complete. Theres always something more to read. It has helped me slow down and pay attention to the details, emotionally and physically.
Keone, Wales
16 Cold showers
I was on a cycling vacation in France in the summer of 2015. The temperature was great for cycling, about 27 celsius, and after each days go I looked forward to a refreshing rain. At the last hotel I knocked the temperature reckon to cold. Brrrrr! I placed it back to red-hot. A got a couple of a few seconds later I knocked it to cold again. Not so brrrrr actually, more refreshing. I havent ogled back.
Vanessa Moss, Kendal
17 Something new every day
At the start of 2016 I decided to do one new circumstance every day. I initially did this to keep myself busy after a breakup, but I have deterred it up ever since. Its included trying everything from joining a choir to buying a new type of tea. It has been so advantageous: Ive gained brand-new the competences and suffer braver, more spontaneous and ever so slightly more exhausted.
Maria Wylie, Ely
18 Stop looking at the phone after 9pm
I made this little promise to myself to gain some work-life counterbalance( I was addicted to checking my email ), but likewise merely to have a bit of quiet age before couch. Its made a huge difference. After the first week I experienced perceptibly much less stressed. I too slept better. Some of my friends complained that I missed their messages, but it was nothing that couldnt wait until the next day.
Anonymous
19 Kickboxing
When I was 37, I started kickboxing. In numerous respects, life was pretty good: I was in a glad, long-term rapport, and my job was self-assured. There wasnt an enormous amount for me to worry about. But I was restless, with a nagging feeling that somehow life was passing me by. Forty was looming, and I wanted to do something to make me feel more alive. Thats where kickboxing came in. Im a second dan black belt now: the working day I got my first black region was the proudest of “peoples lives”. I try to train at least five times a week. At a basic degree, it impedes me fit, strong and flexible. But it also maintenances me sane and sociable.
Sarah Heseltine, London
20 Give up coffee
Id become addicted after going from having one cup of coffee a date to sinking six or even eight, and I procured I couldnt remember without a beaker. I tended to be agitated as a result of too much caffeine in important fulfills, and formerly I decided to give it up, “its easy” although there are times when I still crave a goblet. Im now more tighten and calmer.

4 Techniques to Quit Smoking for Good
Quitting smoking is hard. It’s so hard that even just the thought of it can trigger a craving for a cigarette to soothe your nerves. But it is possible. Author and asthma advocate Lene Andersen shares four strategies to help you stop smoking for good.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to quitting smoking. You have to find the method that works for you, which might be a process of trial and error.
I smoked my first cigarette at 17. It made me feel nauseated, so I’m not sure why I had a second one, but I did — and that was the start of my addiction.
I’ve since quit twice. The first time, I lasted four years before the siren song of nicotine lured me back. It took a long time before I gathered the courage to stop again. It wasn’t just that I was afraid to quit; I didn’t quit because, the truth is, I liked smoking. Let’s face it: if we didn’t like smoking, we wouldn’t waste money on a product that’s lit on fire and burned to a pile of ash multiple times a day.
Eventually, though, it became obvious that I had smoked long enough. I have asthma and, not surprisingly, the cigarettes were making it worse. At the same time, many of my friends who smoked were starting to quit. With their encouragement, I quit again. It was hard, but it was also a very empowering experience. I’ve now been smoke-free for over 12 years, and I don’t ever want to touch a cigarette again.
Being around supportive people is a key part of the quitting process. Let your friends and family know that you’re trying to quit so they can help cheer you on.
Smoking is more than just a powerful physical addiction. For many people, it’s also an ingrained habit, a comfort, a form of relaxation, a way to manage stress, and so much more. For that reason, the first step toward quitting is to spend some time thinking about why you smoke. Once you’ve done that, think about why it is you want to quit. Maybe you want to improve your health, be a better role model for your children, save money, or simply not feel so tied to cigarettes.
After you’ve reflected on your reasons for quitting, it’s time to actually do it. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to quitting smoking. You have to find the method that works for you, which might be a process of trial and error. The following strategies can help you get started.
Quit cold turkey The cold turkey method is used by 80% of people who have successfully quit. But it’s not as simple as merely putting down the cigarettes. If you decide to go this route, it’s important to have a plan for what to do when the cravings hit — because they will hit. I can tell you from experience that the first three days and then the next three weeks are particularly hard.
I was once told that each craving for cigarette lasts less than a few minutes. When a craving does arise, try the “3 D’s”: delay smoking, distract yourself, and drink water. Each craving you conquer is another win on the road to becoming an ex-smoker.
When a cigarette craving strikes, try the “3 D’s”: delay smoking, distract yourself, and drink water.
Say a gradual goodbye For some people, especially heavy smokers, quitting gradually may be best. This gives you more time to address both your chemical dependence on nicotine in the body, as well as the habitual and emotional aspects of the process. To deal with the latter, it may help to avoid situations and environments that trigger your cigarette cravings.
Nicotine replacement products like lozenges or gum may be helpful if you are using this method, but be sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. Some of these products can be used while you’re still smoking occasionally, but others should only be used if you’re not smoking at all.
Ask your doctor for help If you’re having trouble quitting on your own, ask your doctor for help. They might suggest nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), which may be available over the counter or by prescription. They may also prescribe other medications to ease any withdrawal symptoms you experience.
Using NRT medication enables you to quit in two stages. While you’re taking the medication, you can start working through the habitual and emotional aspects of smoking. When you’re ready, the medication will be gradually tapered off until you reach a point where your body no longer craves nicotine.
Surround yourself with support Being around supportive people is also a key part of the quitting process. Let your friends and family know that you’re trying to quit so they can help cheer you on. For even more support, try joining an online smoking cessation community such as QuitNet or Quit Smoking Community. Getting support from people who know what you’re going through can be invaluable in staying away from the cigarettes.
Whichever approach you take to quit smoking, remember that you’re doing something good for yourself. Not only will your physical health improve, but it can also work wonders for your self-esteem!

After a hip procedure I started pilates as part of my rehabilitation. It made a huge difference to my mobility so I find a local class at the recreation centre. Ive been get most weeks for several years. Im practically 50 but been thinking about 20 years younger. Pilates strengthened and arranged me in key core orbits: I can get up from the floor without applying my hands; I can stand for hours; and I rarely have backache.

14 Date night
About three years ago our three daughters were finally old-fashioned enough to look after themselves on a Friday evening, or to go out with their friends. So my bride and I decided to make it our date darknes. We go for a meal or beverages, sometimes with other friends. After so many years of relinquishing our times for “their childrens” it has been wonderful to take my partner for a date every week. I actually look forward to us investing caliber time together.

15 Tai chi
Twenty years ago I started learning tai chi and six years ago it became my daily rehearsal. Every morning I do yoga to extend and then tai chi to match, settle and ground myself. Tai chi isnt quick to pick up; it took four years just to discover the pattern and its business practices that is never complete. Theres always something more to read. It has helped me slow down and pay attention to the details, emotionally and physically.

16 Cold showers
I was on a cycling vacation in France in the summer of 2015. The temperature was great for cycling, about 27 celsius, and after each days go I looked forward to a refreshing rain. At the last hotel I knocked the temperature reckon to cold. Brrrrr! I placed it back to red-hot. A got a couple of a few seconds later I knocked it to cold again. Not so brrrrr actually, more refreshing. I havent ogled back.

17 Something new every day
At the start of 2016 I decided to do one new circumstance every day. I initially did this to keep myself busy after a breakup, but I have deterred it up ever since. Its included trying everything from joining a choir to buying a new type of tea. It has been so advantageous: Ive gained brand-new the competences and suffer braver, more spontaneous and ever so slightly more exhausted.

18 Stop looking at the phone after 9pm
I made this little promise to myself to gain some work-life counterbalance( I was addicted to checking my email ), but likewise merely to have a bit of quiet age before couch. Its made a huge difference. After the first week I experienced perceptibly much less stressed. I too slept better. Some of my friends complained that I missed their messages, but it was nothing that couldnt wait until the next day.

19 Kickboxing
When I was 37, I started kickboxing. In numerous respects, life was pretty good: I was in a glad, long-term rapport, and my job was self-assured. There wasnt an enormous amount for me to worry about. But I was restless, with a nagging feeling that somehow life was passing me by. Forty was looming, and I wanted to do something to make me feel more alive. Thats where kickboxing came in. Im a second dan black belt now: the working day I got my first black region was the proudest of “peoples lives”. I try to train at least five times a week. At a basic degree, it impedes me fit, strong and flexible. But it also maintenances me sane and sociable.

20 Give up coffee
Id become addicted after going from having one cup of coffee a date to sinking six or even eight, and I procured I couldnt remember without a beaker. I tended to be agitated as a result of too much caffeine in important fulfills, and formerly I decided to give it up, “its easy” although there are times when I still crave a goblet. Im now more tighten and calmer.

1 Cold-water swimming
I suffer with depression and nervousnes, and have done for about 10 years. I watched a programme called The Doctor Who Make Up Drugs last autumn. I hated the first episode, but watched the second to see how the status of women trying cold-water swimming to help with her depression got on. I was surprised to see it genuinely facilitated her, so decided to give it a go. After my first swimming, I was hooked.

2 A daily noon walk
This is a good way to escape from my desk and switch off from wreak. Its also great to search the locals and detect obscured pearls. It wasnt a hard practice to introduce. When I am busier its harder to step outside, but more fruitful. Those few moments away facilitate me refocus when I get back to the office.

3 Stop shouting
I stopped wailing ten years ago, and havent elevated my articulation since. I used to shout at my small children when I was forestalled; it was an subconscious response, but it wasnt a constructive manner of are working with developments in the situation, and it would take hours to recover from the remorse I detected afterwards. My boys often didnt is understandable I was so upset. So I stopped wailing. It was hard at first( I had to count to 10 to calm down) but now I feel much better and more in control. I speak in a measured road and happens get done because I have gained other folks respect.
Clara, the south-west
4 Baking bread
No more processed rubbish the bread I constitute is wholesome and full of smell. It stops well, too, much better than the shop-bought material. There is no finer moment than knocking back a container of dough after its first fermentation. Its a great road of destressing. Lately Ive been stimulating no-knead eat which savours good but doesnt affluence stress fairly so well. Ive too started reaching my own pizzas, which has been just as fun.

5 Mindfulness meditation
I inserted mindfulness musing into “peoples lives” to promotion cope with a history of blood pressure and feeling. Centring on my breathing and telling myself to live in the now stopped me panicking. At first, I appeared I had to lie down in a quiet room, light-footed candles and perform for 20 times. But now I can do it anywhere. Even if you end up doing reflection for three minutes a day its worth noting. It has helped me improve my relationships and vocation. Mindfulness brakes me down, facilitates me accept the things I cannot change and was understood that and who I have in my life. It has obligated me more grateful.
Elaine Kingett, London
6Yoga
I started doing yoga twice a week to get rid of headaches. It wasnt difficult to start because I was already activity, but it took a while to get are applied to it, because I envisioned yoga looked a bit boring at first. Now I cannot live without it. Its the one thing that helps with my headaches, and it should certainly improved my quality of life.
Amanda, Cape Town
7 Stop bringing work home
I made a conscious decision to ensure my own personal life and relationships were my priority away from drive, and took operate emails off my phone. This has actually realized me a lot more efficient at work, especially when scheduling my time.

8 Unicycle
I started unicycling with the rest of my family about 12 years ago, but every week it felt like I was starting all over again, while others developed. About a year ago I discovered a physio about an unrelated tendernes and he noted that I had poor abdominal muscle feeling. I started doing the exercises he gave me and discovered my unicycling was improving. Over the year I were eventually learned to mount the unicycle. I also had the confidence to take part in a freestyle number at the national championships and am now unicycling to work and back formerly a few weeks. I am still not brilliant, but I am so happy to be able to do this and to identify definite improvement.

9 Learn to play a musical instrument
I learned to play the fiddle. I started from scratch( playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) and been in a position to play over 100 chants by ear. I can also read music gradually and enjoy playing with others. Im now reading the ukulele, very. It is enormous fun and I feel a real sense of accomplishment. I did not play any musical instrument until my early 50 s, and am continuing to improve. Its also been a great room to reach new friends.
Marie Therese Allison, Glasgow
10 Wake up an hour earlier each morning
I decided to start waking up an hour earlier every morning 5.30 am instead of 6.30 am. I now start my date by doing a few sunlight salutations, followed by a prayer( which I use to be appreciative rather than asking for anything ), and then write in my periodical. This change has helped me keep in contact with myself and my emotions.
Kelly, Indianapolis
11 Drink enough water
I used to get awful headaches but then I started to drink at the least two litres of water a day. After about five years of doing this my headaches have now gone away, my scalp is soft and clear, and I have more vigour. I notice that when I dont booze enough for a few dates my form feels like its ranging at half the rate it should be. This has is an element of the best situations Ive done for my body.
Emily, Lancashire
12 Cycle to work
I embarked cycling to work last-place summer( its exclusively five miles and its frequently quicker than driving ). I did it because I seemed I wasnt getting enough exercising. It was also because driving and taking modes of public transport through London is expensive and stressful. My travel to work is fun now. Some of it implies busy roads( where I find myself engulf queues of cars ). But Ive too detected some neat quiet signposted cycle roadways through back streets. I appear healthier and my leg muscles are certainly more powerful than they were.
