A fun mental exercise for character writing is thinking of the meanest, cruelest, most cutting thing you can say to them.

It's an effective but fun way to get to the core of their weaknesses and insecurities.

If you had infinite monkeys typing for an infinite time, it’s not that one will eventually write the entire work of Shakespeare.

If you had infinite monkeys typing for an infinite time, an infinite number of them will start writing the entire work of Shakespeare the moment they start typing. And an infinite number of them will write it right after they typed one wrong letter, and an infinite number of them will write it after typing two wrong letters, etc. And an infinite number of them will have one letter wrong in the entire text, and an infinite number of them will have one other letter wrong, etc.

Basically we humans fail to think properly about the implications of infinity.

Mental Health Blogging And Practice: Website Writing Sample

The website is called Mental Wellness Frenzy, and it provides content to help you care for your mental health. It's supposed to be a fake business website, but I am working on making it more legit.

I created a website called Mental Wellness Frenzy for mental health and wellness blogging and providing services to assist people's mental wellbeing. (Click on the NAME or the PICTURE to go to the website!!) Right now it is being used to demonstrate my web design and writing skills, but I do plan on using it to make YouTube videos dedicated to mindfulness meditation!

The idea sparked when I wasn't in such a good place in my head. I sought therapy and got better, then I wanted to help others in this field. I thought it was perfect for me because I am genuinely a people person.

As I debated switching careers, I decided to get certified to be a mindfulness meditation teacher and a life coach. I thought it was a crazy idea, but as I got to know these fields, I began to love it like crazy! I was so proud of myself once I saw the certifications. I wanted to change my career and get into the mental health setting, but I chickened out because I didn't think I was good enough for it. Now I am not as scared to showcase my skills, as I want to help people like I've been helped.

I hope that upon exploring the website to skim through the different options, you will be inspired and motivated by the information presented to you.

One Day It Won’t Hurt Anymore ❤️‍🩹

So this exercise said to: *Look for the nearest door and remember it. Then close your eyes and imagine someone you care for a lot coming in that door…* UGH of course I imagine my ex Andrew 🥺😓 my whole body screaming “nooooooo”!!

Then the exercise said to: *Imagine that person walking up to you and getting down in front of you, taking your hand and looking you into the eyes* by this point, I’m sooo tense and already getting worked up/emotional BUT it’s hard to cry. I want to cry tho….

Finally in the exercise, it says to: *Now imagine that person saying into your eyes, you are good, there is nothing wrong with you and you’re going to be okay.* 😭😭😭😭fuuddgggeeeee…. Andrew is the person who told me “I wasn’t well!!!!!!!!” How could he EVER tell me I’m going to be ok that everything is good with me…. the person who broke you, can’t heal you!! ❤️‍🩹🥺

Already I’m hating the exercise and regretting choosing Andrew but it wasn’t like on purpose it was honestly who came to my mind becuase he’s always on my mind and I know it’s because I need to get over the past, heal the wounds and forgive Andrew/let him go. Why does it feel sooooo incredibly hard to do and why does it suck so much???? 😓❤️‍🩹 Saying “goodbye” to a character that doesn’t exist…. This guy who told me “I love you with all my heart and soul.” That character DOES NOT EXIST!!!! The whole relationship was based off of a false face, lies and selfish intentions. Even when I was brave enough to tell Andrew I battled depression, he used that moment to his advantage. Told me “I was too beautiful to be depressed” and made me believe he didn’t want me to be unhappy but yet hit on me and made advances at me. Made me believe he could take the pain away but yet he continued to cause me pain. Slut shamming me the next day and I was too obsessed with him to understand it. I legit had never been soooo freakin obsessed with anyone like that in my whole life!!!!! Yet I opened up my heart and said “hear Andrew, do whatever the heck you want to me! I don’t care!” and he devoured my heart for his selfish ego…. Took all my praise for him but gave me absolutely nothing in return!!!! 🥺😭❤️‍🩹

ONE DAY….. it’s not gonna hurt anymore. One day I’m gonna be able to think of him and not even bat an eye. I don’t know when but I’m tired. Andrew, I don’t hate you but I can’t trust you and I don’t even know you and it sucks for me!!!!!!! I realize you had to create a false face for me otherwise I wouldn’t have even looked your way. You had to say things you knew I wanted to hear so I would pay you attention. You kept me going after we broke up. You knew my weak spots and you used them to keep getting my nudes… Thankfully you don’t own me anymore 💔💔💔💔 I got away from you but mentally I’m still untangling myself out of the web of lies you weaved in me. Everything you said, you meant the opposite. Your actions never matching your words was just a constant stab at me. You were trying to make me less than you because you saw something in me you want but feel you can’t have. That was my ability to love beyond words. Love is all I’ve ever had and love is still strong within me. I’ll still love always and forever. You didn’t take that from me!! I wanted it to be you so bad. I looked into your ocean blue eyes and wanted to go all the way with you to the end of the world. Andrew, even when the world would be set on fire, I wanted it to be you but you don’t exist 😭 You only mirrored my fire inside of me. Truly you’re darker than dark. You could only poison me. I’m trying to let it all go and forgive you. I don’t know what to believe from you. It’s all one big mystery!!!! Andrew, pleeeeeease take it all back. All the isolation and pain. All the cold nights I cried looking at my phone while you kept my messages on delivered waiting till you felt I suffered enough, then suddenly “love me again” and send me all these text with hearts and kissy faces again…. My heart would LEAP for joy. It always felt like Christmas morning when you’d finally text me. Why did you choose me??? My skin crawls seeing your face in the back of my head!!!!!!!! Yet I think, “oh was it that bad or am I over exaggerating???” 😣❤️‍🩹 idk…. I…don’t… know….

Depending on what you count as a 'real' fandom, it is either Star Wars OT or PJ's LOTR trilogy plus 911 LA. Which... SW OT's rebels already are the space equivalent of LAFD and the Millenium Falcon is the 118 engine crew.

And LOTR... the communication over distances would need to be improved to effectively match the places to put out figurative fires out with the needed ressources, and while the maiar are effective incident commanders, there are too few of them and too much of Middle-Earth. Now, if the eagles could be coopted as a 911 call center to improve communication, then we would be talking.

combine your first real fandom with your current one to create a terrible, terrible au

Optical Illusion: One snail is hiding among the rocks; can you spot it? | - Times of India

I'm going to share a secret that I hope no one I know discovers, but I can't bear to keep it to myself anymore. On the roadtrip down to my wedding, I listened to a song (listed) that reminded me of an old flame. I had a lot of time to kill so did a mental exercise. I picked up an abandoned thread, this old flame that I never pursued. I conjured the thread and followed it all the way to its' most likely end, seeing how he'd behave when I knew I deserved better than constant manipulation and mental instability. I came to the logical conclusion that we would have lasted a few months at best. I drew most of it back then in the car, but only finished it now, a couple of months after the fact.

What largely attracted me to this guy was my saviour complex. He needed help and a lot of it, and this mental exercise has helped me conclude that it’s not my responsibility to save him.

As a positive, I ended it off with my now husband, who taught me how a relationship can be peace, a safe space, and doesn't have to be war.

IQ Tests: Fuel for Your Brain?

Let's Talk About Brain

You know that feeling when you finish a really challenging puzzle? That rush of satisfaction, like you’ve just conquered the world? Well, imagine that feeling but for your brain. That's kinda what taking IQ tests can feel like.

Now, before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's get one thing straight: IQ tests aren’t a definitive measure of your intelligence. They’re just one tool, and intelligence is a complex thing with many facets. But what they can do is provide a fun and challenging way to exercise your mind.

Why Bother with Brain Teasers?

Think of your brain as a muscle. The more you work it out, the stronger it gets. IQ tests can be like lifting weights for your brain, challenging different parts of it and helping it grow stronger.

• Boosts cognitive function: Regular mental exercise can improve memory, attention span, and problem-solving skills.

• Enhances creativity: Some IQ tests require thinking outside the box, which can spark creativity in other areas of your life.

• Reduces boredom: Let's face it, life can get monotonous. IQ tests offer a stimulating break from the routine.

• Builds confidence: Success on IQ tests can give you a confidence boost, which can translate to other areas of your life.

Not All IQ Tests Are Created Equal

There are tons of IQ tests out there, from classic puzzles to online quizzes. Some are better than others. Look for tests that:

Offer a variety of question types to challenge different cognitive abilities.

Provide clear instructions and explanations.

Are designed by reputable sources.

Tips for Maximizing Your Brain Boost

• Make it a habit: Try to do a few IQ test questions every day.

• Vary the difficulty: Challenge yourself but don’t get frustrated.

• Learn from your mistakes: Analyze your wrong answers to identify areas for improvement.

• Take breaks: Don’t overwork your brain. Short breaks can help you stay focused.

The Bottom Line

While IQ tests aren't a magic potion for intelligence, they can definitely be a fun and beneficial way to give your brain a workout. So, next time you're looking for something to do, why not give your mind a challenge? You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

Ok I think I made up a way to get myself more hyped to clean my room. Just, imagine it's not mine. If I wanted to make someone I love happy by cleaning their room I would do it without complaint, and be very proud. So, I just have to mentally disattach myself from my...self. and try. Boom.

But I'll have to guinea pig this on myself bc I don't know if there's anyone who has tried it before. Imma give updates once I try.

If you try before that update, pls tag or dm me I so wanna know if it works for other ppl.
