Thanksbfor the reply. I like the idea about getting ideas from other media! Thanks

I remember my dad doing it and it brings back good memories for me: The smell, the sounds.

What’s your preferred medium? Do you have a way to make art everyday? I feel stuck at times and learning about how and what other art interested people Do gives me ideas.

• Setting and enforcing boundaries around holidays.
• Sticking to a consistent sleeping schedule.
• Exercising most days than not.
• Listen to me first and keep tuning out all outside noise.
• Managing things step by step in the best way circumnstances allow.

Ay dios mio! I never knew this and always thought of it as cheesy vacation song.

Well, I kept trying to squat like most people do trying so hard not to lean forward and kept falling over on my ass lol. That and also I couldn’t feel the work in my glutes, only quads. Are you familiar with the way little children squat? I still can’t do it but getting better every day by practicing.

Turns out I have super tight hips and that prevented me of hinging correctly, plus the aformentioned femur/torso ratio.

I hired a personal trainer in january of this year to help me out with stuff and she helped me correct my form. Now I use a pair of those foam wedge things under my heels to prop me up in a better position and I can squat way better. It was a game changer.

Learning the proper way to squat for my long femurs/short torso body. It makes such a difference in how and where I feel the muscle work. Knees over toes be damned!

I had insomnia for decades. I did everything under the sun: workout, hot shower, warm milk, counting, breathing techniques, melatonin (beware of side effects with continous use), no screens, etc etc. Nothing worked and then per my doctor’s orders I take magnesium glycinate and it works like magic

I always get my SO three things every year: one thing he really wants (This year is a pair of submarine shears), something he needs (New hiking boots) and something that he wouldn’t get for himself (A week in cabin/shack at secluded beach in the caribbean to fish, scuba dive and relax).

A deserted beach we found one time. Very peaceful and beautiful.

Sitting by a bonfire all bundled up. Maybe even drinking cocoa or tea.

When someone I love hugs me tight.

Cool! Just remember to use it sparingly and not let it become part of your personality.

Malignant compliance maybe? I had a boss who kept nagging me about stuff she didn’t even know how to do so I decided to give her my undivided absolute attention calling her every time I was going to do somehing, every time while I was doing it, every time after completing the task and so on.

I did this for a while and only as a last resort because I was fed up with her attitude. It worked like a charm! Lol

Thank you. Will do.

Some people have this tradition to name their kids after x or y relative, I would never do that.

I caught myself in an old defense mechanism loop and was able to stop, breath, sit with the discomfort and own that motherfucking trauma response for what it is, then dismiss it and carry on with my day. So, like a very proud ten.

Yeah now they do and I feel kinda vindicated TBH. Back when I was a kid this dish was compared to dog food by some of my classmates and teachers, I kid you not. Maybe I still carry some of that trauma and I wouldn’t serve it to guests but I will gladly cook it for me and my kid, who also loves it.

Uuyyyyy me acordé de los taquitos de manteca con sal el fila de las tortillas. Que delicia!

Exactly this.
