Transform Your Life in 5 Minutes a Day

10 years ago, I felt like a complete failure. I was unemployed, stuck in a place I desperately wanted to leave, and trying to help someone I cared about through their own struggles but I was unsuccessful. I felt powerless, depressed and stuck.

Then one day, I started doing a simple 5-minute exercise daily, and everything started to change. Soon, my mood lifted. I felt stronger, more in control. Within months, I landed a high-paying job in a beautiful country.

What's that 5-min exercise? Push-ups!

Why did that work? 1. Building physical strength gave me a sense of control over my body, and by extension, my life. 2. Watching my muscles grow helped me feel like I was making progress, which brought satisfaction. 3. As my mood improved, my ability to attract positive events also improved (thank you, Law of Attraction).

It doesn’t have to be push-ups for you. Any simple, consistent action that brings progress and satisfaction can spark transformation.

Examples: 🎨 Doing a crafty project 📚 Learning something new, e.g. a language 🎮 Building something, such as a house, in your favorite video game, e.g. Minecraft

Remember: Transforming your life might only take 5 minutes a day. It can be simple and easy!

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

Sciatica can be an infuriating condition that dramatically affects an individual’s quality of life. It shows up as pain, numbness, or tingling in the lower back and leg and arises from irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. There is a wealth of methods that can help soothe this condition, and one of these proven ways is physical therapy.

Negative experience with P.E. includes everything you could have disliked about it, such as teachers, relationship with peers, unaccommodated disabilities, the fact that it was graded, body image, etc.

physics professors are really going through it- every day, I think about my quantum physics professor who once went on a rant about how there's too many types of mustard these days followed by the words "well, at least quantum physics is less complicated than the mustard aisle" followed by one of the most cursed derivations I have ever seen

The other day I drew an idea for "what if branded could transform", but really I just wanted to design a dragon. In reality I think you could take the idea way further.

What if you were to take the idea of branded being half laguz way more literally?? Basically I think it would be cool to have more of a half transformation resulting in what are basically monsters from myth and legend. Of course, I continue to have an interest in a story where the branded are the main characters and the heroes so, making them look like monsters but actually be good guys is fun to me!

The first and most obvious version of this idea would be the half human/half wolf (werewolf). I don't think they would lose themselves like werewolves, but they are the most iconic animal human hybrid design!

The next most obvious design would be half human/half bird (harpies). I think its important to really push the animal aspect and not just make them sexy sexy mostly human things. I think it would be fun to explore the design differences between hawk harpies, raven harpies, and heron harpies.

The cats are the hardest ones to design imo because there aren't that many human/cat hybrid monsters in mythology that aren't also mixed with even more animals. Its probably fine to just follow the example of the wolves and do were-cats though. Still cool!

For dragons I actually think there are a couple different directions you could go in. For this idea I basically went with your standard high fantasy/DnD demons and devils. There's only one half dragon in Tellius but this is another case where it would be really fun to design different looks for red, white or black half dragons since the ones we see in canon have slightly different builds and horn designs plus the different skin colors. (I would go with different skin colors like tieflings. The whole idea is for them to look like monsters and I think dragons should be scary!!)

The other idea I had would be for half dragons to be oni? Basically the same design sensibility but you would lose the wings. My reason for this idea is because oni are cool dragons in Tellius are kind of seen as this terrifying force of nature that could destroy everyone if they wanted to, which is kind of what oni are as well. I think it could work nicely.

I've been playing Fear and Hunger 2: Termina and I'm so in love with them.

A little celebration! I have been doing breath training for a bit, but have only recently started to take it more seriously now that I know what to do. When I first started holding my breath (statically out of the water) for 30 seconds was a real challenge and the furthest I could go was just under 40 seconds. Today I made it to 1 minute 20 seconds, which is twice the length of time which is really quite quick! I am also now able to breathe more or less continuously at 30 second intervals - 5 seconds in, 15 seconds hold, 10 seconds out (though I have to look at a clock to keep the timing). But I am making good progress and can breather deeper and fuller, I can feel the muscles in my back in particular stretch with each breath, and the long slow breaths are becoming more comfortable and better resisting the stinging of the carbondioxide. On next to 2 minutes - 120 seconds!

Hello there, you. Yes, hello, you, right there, seeing this with your eyes. Look at me for a moment, or at least near me. You see that trans women over there? That transfem? The very big one? The one with the broad shoulders and the thick limbs? The one with a few too sharp edges she's trying so hard to sand down? The one who isn't small except in the ways it pains her not to be? You need to tell her she's pretty. You need to let her know that she is soft too. To let her know that she can be dainty or demure or delicate if she wants. That she can be beautiful. That she is beautiful. You will do this. Goodbye now.

LITERALLY, why is this such a universal experience 😭

I can just see Opeli holding her Advanced Fiscal Exercises class and Soren showing up in tiny little gym shorts that show off his thunder thighs and a muscle tank because he thought it was Advanced Physical Exercises. The entire time, Opeli tries to ignore that, but Soren sits front row and keeps asking questions. She thinks it’s because he’s engaged with the lesson, but really he’s just confused and has no idea what the hell is going on. He doesn’t know what fiscal means, or what taxes have to do with exercise.
