Hedgehogs. Damn cute and eat slugs and snails.
Agree that meal boxes are a good training step. We started using blue apron and after we got the hang of things, realized how much cheaper it would be to buy the ingredients on our own. The bottles of sauces can be pricey up front, but once you have a collection of them, cooking is easier and cheaper. Also, people are really impressed if you can impromptu make something without having to go out shopping.
I felt like a true adult when I decided to make hummus one day and just happened to have everything for it.
For me, I needed a therapist and meds. I was walking, gardening, had hobbies, biked for transportation, meditated. Sometimes you need chemicals to fix a chemical problem.
In my opinion, it is another way to get value out of the user instead of giving value.
Managers have to do very little work in terms of understanding the skills of their employees if we do it for them.
A huge step I found in terms of my mental health was to refuse to give reviews anymore, in any form. I am now able to enjoy my experiences a lot more without looking for reasons to critique them.
That’s why I get all the boosters.
Saw Backdraft when I wasn’t supposed to. Still have to have the door closed to sleep.
I tell my students that going to a challenging class and not participating is like going to the gym and watching people work out. It is not only fairly useless to your goal of improving yourself, it creeps out everyone else and makes it feel like an unsafe place to try new things and make mistakes.
Especially while driving. I found that if I felt bad for idiot drivers as their lives must be much harder than mine due to their latent impatience, rage, or incompetent, I was much less stressed. Just let them get on with it, slow down, and get home safe.
Now I almost never drive and that has helped even more.
