do you ever just realize there is no other option but to be patient with yourself, with your body, your mind, and that you have to trust yourself and let go

and at the same time there is an anxious part of you that wants everything now but it needs to learn to actually live through whats happening now and be patient because a lot of things don’t happen over night

and yeah if you need me I’ll be practicing that and yeah it’s gonna take some time. and. yeah

your chances to do big things won’t end at any age. you’ve got time. you’ve got opportunities. being in your late twenties, thirties, forties, etc. isn’t the end.

Warning their coworker to tread lightly or face serious consequences, office sources confirmed Tuesday that employee Erik Greshel was on thin ice after taking an allotted personal day. “Jesus, that guy is really playing with fire by using one of his management-offered vacation days,” said coworker Carol Fowler, explaining that Greshel had been courting disaster ever since he started taking the full thirty minute lunch break outlined in the employee manual. “It’s crazy. He didn’t apologize to our boss or give some defensive explanation. He just put in his formal PTO request and then didn’t show up to the office. It was bad enough when he tried to pull the same thing for major national holidays, but this is out of control.” At press time, Greshel had been laid off after after human resources discovered he was doing non-work related tasks on personal time

how to deal with extreme heat without A/C

For anyone in the UK and Europe and wherever else who needs this -

Close blinds and drapes to keep the sun out of your house and reduce the incoming heat.

Drink a lot of a water. Like a shit ton of water. More than you think. I know ice water is less of a thing in some countries, but it's preferable because it'll keep you cooler.

In addition to plain water, make sure to replace electrolytes lost through sweating, by drinking something like Gatorade. You can make a homemade electrolyte drink by mixing water with a small amount of sea salt (~ 1/4 tsp) and half a lemon or lime, and sweetener if needed.

Dip a non-terrycloth tea towel (or any spare cotton like an old undershirt) in water and then stick it in the freezer for 5-7 minutes until it is icy cold but still pliable. Drape these cloths over bare skin, like your neck, legs, and forehead, and sit in front of a fan. The fan will continually evaporate heat and the cloth will stay very cold against you for quite a while.

Fill up a spare spray bottle with water and spray yourself while in front of a fan. (Not quite as effective as #4 but still good.)

Don't exercise. It exacerbates the stress on your body. You can skip one day gym bro.

Don't forget to eat, and only eat cold things. If you don't have an appetite because of the heat, drink something like a smoothie.

If it gets really bad, go to a cooling center if you can. Don't fuck around with extreme heat. Heat stress is deadly and often hard to feel until it's too late.
