It can be difficult to maintain a coherent sense of identity , self-worth, or even _basic competence_ - in the face of multiple stresses occurring concurrently, in life. ### This is 'that time' the one we are now in, globally. The effects of over inflated governments, via socialist policies implemented this past few decades, has reached ripping point. And rip it will - just like it always has - _every_ time in history when this confluence of inflated governments, and socialist-esque style policies occurs. ### Challenges to old patterns become inevitable, and with that _change_... it can become very, psychologically, stressful.. Without the order that produces our identity - the social fabric and stability of our environment - the world around us becomes more chaotic and it will feel less amenable to our wants and needs. #### So how do we adjust successfully to these new environments? We organize our external world by first organizing our internal one. If the shocks to the patterns of our life are serious enough, and we do not find a way to absorb those shocks , we become susceptible to a psychological breakdown. Intense emotional turbulence arises in the face of a 'disintegrating self'- which can , and is, caused by the disintegration of the stable, external, norms , found in daily life. Feelings of being 'overwhelmed' are common, even with a relatively minor disturbance to regular life and habits. If the emotional disturbance is _chronic_, maybe due to some global crisis (as well might be unfolding right now)- a 'societal wide' breakdown of sorts - then populations will tend to be in a state of fear depending on the nature of these threats. (and making the covid-19 psi-op and the fear mongering of whole continents, something with a very different and insidious, agenda). #### It's this threat to our 'sense of self' that's the most dangerous. With a knowledge of _the process_ that leads to psychological breakdowns steps can be taken to fortify the psyche. Knowledge is most certainly power - _power over yourself_ in the case. What first must be recognized in this process - and can seem to be counter intuitive - is that a breakdown is _not_ a descent into a more disordered mental state. It is in fact - a re-establishment of order. But not a good one - It is _maladaptive_. (having an adaptation or changed feature, but one that is not suitable for particular condition). The extremes of psychological breakdowns tend toward two forms: Severe depression. Psychosis. Severe depression can be one of the 'disordered states' that precipitates a breakdown, and it can be replaced it with an _ordered state_ . One of of utter despair and hopelessness, in which the individual is convinced that things will not get better - and so withdraws from life. The intense emotions of extreme anxiety (that preceeds a break down into an ordered, severe, depression) is replaced by apathy and a psychological 'deadness' to the world. The other extreme is the _psychotic break_. The _process_ of a psychotic break unfolds, as it follows the events of one's life. An acute crisis, or more long term, chronic problems that pile up over time. This can utterly destroy any semblance of a healthy sense 'of self'. When this type of break _occurs_, the individual will enter the panic phase of the process. _The 'disintegrating self' and the psychic disorientation this creates, will bring to the fore intense emotions to such a degree that the individual becomes incapable of any proper interaction with their environment_. Eventually, the panic becomes so overwhelming that the psyche _reimposes order_. This is called the stage of _the psychotic insight_. The psychotic insight occurs when the panic-stricken individual succeeds in putting things together by _devising a pathological way_ of seeing reality. By doing this, rationalization of his abnormal experiences (extreme panic) occurs. This phenomenon is called 'insight', because the patient sees meaning in his extreme panic experiences - but the 'insight' itself, is actually, also psychotic. It is founded within the mental processes that occur only in a state of psychosis. Complete gibberish can appear as complete clarity, in this state. This 'psychotic transformation', of panic to order, will enable a person to experience themselves and the environment in strange and unique ways. This state of psychosis is preferable to the panic phase that preceded it. (honestly). #### _Psychosis is an abnormal way of dealing with an unbearable situation_. We are most susceptible to any breakdown when stricken by intense emotions. ...societal breakdowns, financial trauma's, or anything that makes a 'normal life' transition, to one of feeling like you're 'under siege' in some way. The first step to ward off a psychological breakdown is to follow the advice of Henry David Thoreau: _"when in doubt slow down"_. If we ever feel that our emotions are reaching a fever pitch or spinning us around in circles, we need to interrupt the dynamic. _The worst way to go about trying to avoid acute panic - is to try to reason or argue with the emotions._ The best way to deal with this situation is ignore it! I do not mean pretend it isn't there - but to use some form of activity to relax and 'recenter' - change your focus.. Carl Jung - who endured a crisis so intense that he flirted with psychosis, would draw and paint to calm his racing mind. _Whatever changes you focus, is the important thing_. Weightlifting, walking, some hobby or a conversation with a friend, it doesn't matter... even... doing... absolutely.... _nothing_. What _is_ essential, is that we have a 'refocus' tool. There are also other steps that we can take, ones that will inoculate us from descending into 'the pits of despair'. _Avoiding things_ that make us susceptible to a breakdown in the first place, is one such step... Turning off the MSM fear porn, for example.(especially in todays environment). _The cognitive dissonance created by a hundred different perspectives - some real and some fake - is a perfect recipe for inducing panic attacks_. Devoting time to genuinely rewarding activities is also another way to staying centered. Creating things, learning things, building things, fixing things... #### It's important to fill the void left by the crisis. Establishing new habits and new activities creates order. #### Structure, meaning, and feelings of accomplishment - may be the difference between descending into the disoriented state of a 'disintegrating self' and remaining psychologically stable. "....never let a good crisis go to waste.." , said by some narcissistic politician, if remember correctly. Listen to a politician! (you'll _never_ hear me say that again). A crisis can make us more prone to a psychological breakdown, but these same times, are ripe for achieving what is called a 'psychological breakthrough'. #### 'The breakthrough' is the exact opposite of the 'breakdown', ....as our sense of self _does not_ lose touch with reality. (as in psychosis), nor does it descend into utter apathy and despair (as in depression). Instead, one's sense of self is now reordered around _new_ values and _new_ patterns of life - ones that are more functionally adaptive in the times of great disorder and chaos. *** On a personal note, and from my own life experience - the more chaotic your life has been to date - the better suited you'll will be adapting to the coming chaos. (I don't know _what_ a 'stable life' even is, tbh. ..Anarchy ? Just another regular day to me.) Good luck people! _Embrace reality_... ...and don't ever let reality get you down - only madness lies down that path.

Human beings are religious by nature. Hence it is no wonder that someone somewhere turns pretty much anything into a matter of belief. Famous examples are flat earth, new world order & other conspiracy theories, ancient astronauts & before all: evolution. One of the newest examples is the Wuhan virus (SARS-CoV-2) & the related disease (Covid-19). | Menschen sind von Natur aus religiös. Daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, daß so ziemlich alles von irgendjemandem zu einer Glaubensfrage gemacht wird. Beispiele dafür gibt es zur Genüge, sei es die Erde als Scheibe, Neue Weltordnung & andere Verschwörungstheorien, Prä-Astronautik & natürlich: Evolution. Eines der neuesten Beispiele ist das Wuhan-Virus (SARS-CoV-2) & die entsprechende Krankheit (Covid-19). ------------ | ------------- In the late 90's & early 00's I was quite active in some US online forums to improve my English. Back then I had some quite funny discussions with US creationists about evolution. (Yes, such discussions were my idea of fun at the time, but it becomes repetitive after a while.) I noticed very similar patterns in creationist argumentation in those discussions to what you nowadays hear from people who deny the existence of the Wuhan virus or the threat it poses. | In den späten 90ern & frühen 2000ern war ich recht aktiv in US-Foren, um mein Englisch zu verbessern. Damals hatte ich so einige lustige Diskussionen mit US-Kreationisten über die Evolution. (Jau, solche Diskussionen machten mir damals Spaß. Werden aber nach einer Weile repetitiv.) Mir fiel auf, daß die damalige Argumentation der Kreationisten deutliche Ähnlichkeiten dazu aufweist, was man heutzutage von Leuten hört, die die Existenz des Wuhan-Virus oder dessen Gefährlichkeit abstreiten. ------------ | ------------- First, of course, there are those who deny the existence of the Wuhan virus in general (& often believe that it's some super secret worldwide conspiracy, see below). Then there are people who accept that there is a virus, but listen to some fringe doctors or 'scientists' who tell them (more often than not in Youtube videos, it seems) that the virus just causes the flu, or that it's not more dangerous than the flu. This is one of the major similarities to Creationism. '(Macro-)Evolution doesn't exist, because there is this 'scientist' who says it doesn't', is one of the major arguments I heard in favour of creation. | Zunächst sind da natürlich jene, die behaupten, es gäbe gar kein Wuhan-Virus (& oft auch noch glauben, daß es sich dabei um eine weltweite Verschwörung handelt, s.u.). Dann gibt es Menschen, die die Existenz des Virus akzeptieren, aber auf einzelne Doktoren oder 'Wissenschaftler' hören, die ihnen (meist in Youtubevideos, wie's scheint) erzählen, daß das Virus nur eine weitere Grippe verursacht, oder zumindest nicht schlimmer als eine Grippe ist. Hier haben wir eine der größten Gemeinsamkeiten zum Kreationismus. '(Makro-)Evolution gibt es nicht, weil da dieser 'Wissenschaftler' ist, der das sagt', ist eines der meistgebrauchten Argumente, die ich von Kreationisten hörte. ------------ | ------------- But science should be about facts, not opinions. Science is based on reproducible studies which over time form a consensus in the scientific community. & the consensus is that the Wuhan virus is a clear & present danger, definitely more dangerous than the seasonal flu. The infection fatality rate for the flu is between 0.05 & 0.1% while the population IFR for Covid-19 even in the best scenario is at least triple that. Its [actual IFR](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v6.full-text#T3) varies between eg. 0.6% in Geneva to over 2% in Northern Italy. (& don't confuse [IFR with CFR](https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/estimating-mortality-from-covid-19).) | Wissenschaft sollte sich aber mit Fakten beschäftigen, nicht mit Meinungen. Wissenschaft basiert auf reproduzierbaren Studien, anhand derer sich ein Konsens unter Wissenschaftlern bildet. & der Konsens ist, daß das Wuhan-Virus eine reale Gefahr darstellt, definitiv gefährlicher als die jährliche Grippewelle. der Infizierten-Verstorbenen-Anteil (IFR) für die Grippe liegt zwischen 0,05 & 0,1%, während der [IFR für Covid-19](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v6.full-text#T3) selbst unter besten Umständen mindestens beim Dreifachen liegt, faktisch aber zwischen 0,6% in Genf & über 2% in Norditalien variiert. (& bitte nicht [IFR mit CFR](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall-Verstorbenen-Anteil) verwechseln.) ------------ | ------------- [Source](https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid) Which brings us to another major similarity to creationism, the belief that science works (or should work) like religion. Believers jump on errors, corrections & changes as evidence that everything must be wrong. But science is not (& does not claim to be) infallible. You find errors & correct them, you find new facts & incorporate them into existing theories. Theory & application evolves according to new findings. Believers also like to mix up science, media & politics. But what the media publish about scientific research is not necessarily what was actually found. Media want to sell news, they often sensationalise or even distort. Politics on the other hand involves ideology, interpretation & concessions to the constituency. | Was uns zu einer weiteren Gemeinsamkeit mit dem Kreationismus bringt, dem Glauben, daß Wissenschaft wie Religion funktioniert (oder es zumindest tun sollte). Gläube reiben sich an Fehlern, Korrekturen & Änderungen & sehen sie als Beweis dafür, daß alle Erkenntnisse falsch sind. Aber Wissenschaft ist nunmal nicht unfehlbar (& behauptet es auch nicht). Man findet Fehler & korrigiert sie, man findet neue Fakten & inkorporiert sie in existierende Theorien. Theorie & Anwendung entwickeln sich entsprechend neuer Erkenntnisse. Gläubige vermischen auch gerne Wissenschaft, Medien & Politik. Was jedoch die Medien über wissenschaftliche Forschung berichten, ist nicht unbedingt das, was dabei rauskam. Medien wollen Neuigkeiten verkaufen, sensationalisieren oder verzerren also oft. Politik andererseits involviert Ideologie, Interpretation & Zugeständnisse an die Wähler. ------------ | ------------- & politics varies widely across the world. Hence you also have a wide variety of approaches to the pandemic. Most (?) moronic is the notion that there is some worldwide conspiracy behind the Wuhan virus. As if all (or most) governments of the world worked together to create an alleged or actual virus to make people into sheeple. Miraculously, the virus threat would make people more rule observant than before & they would forever stay that way, as loyal servants of a worldwide ruling class. But, OK, I suspect that people who believe this, already believed in some world conspiracy before, & only included the Wuhan virus into their belief system. | Dazu kommt, daß Politik weltweit höchst unterschiedlich ausgestaltet ist, was zu großer Varianz an Pandemiemaßnahmen führt. Am hirnrissigsten ist vermutlich die Idee, daß eine Weltverschwörung hinter dem Wuhan-Virus steckt. Als wenn alle (oder auch nur die meisten) Regierungen zusammenarbeiten könnten, um ein angebliches oder tatsächliches Virus zu schaffen, wodurch die Menschheit sich in eine Schafherde verwandelt. Wundersamerweise würde die Virengefahr die Menschen dazu bringen, sich stärker an Regeln zu halten, & sie würden zu ewig loyalen Untertanen einer weltweiten Herrscherklasse. Aber, nunja, nehme an, diejenigen, die das glauben, glaubten auch vorher schon an eine Weltverschwörung & inkorporierten das Wuhan-Virus nur in ihr bestehendes Glaubenssystem. ------------ | ------------- The belief in a worldwide conspiracy seems to be an area of overlap between creationists & 'corona skeptics', since many creationists also believe in some major conspiracy by satanists or freemasons et al. But there is religious freedom (at least in some parts of the world). Hence people have the right to believe every nonsense they like. No problem there. A problem occurs when your belief threatens the livelihood or health of your fellow human beings. Even if you disagree with science or with measures the state orders, you should have the basic courtesy of respecting the right to a healthy body of the people around you. | Der Weltverschwörungsglaube scheint eine Schnittmenge zwischen Kreationisten & 'Coronaleugnern' darzustellen, da viele Kreationisten auch eine großangelegte Verschwörung von Satanisten, Freimaurern o.ä. sehen. Aber es gibt nunmal Religionsfreiheit (wenigstens in einigen Weltgegenden). Daher hat jeder das Recht auch den größten Unsinn zu glauben. Kein Problem. Zum Problem wird es allerdings, wenn dieser Glaube die Lebensgrundlage oder Gesundheit der Mitmenschen bedroht. Selbst wenn man von Wissenschaft oder staatlichen Maßnahmen nichts hält, sollte man doch wenigstens grundlegende Rücksicht nehmen & das Recht der anderen respektieren, gesund zu bleiben. ------------ | ------------- Even if you don't believe in the virus or in the effectivity of wearing a mask, do wear one, simply out of respect. The minor inconvenience (which it is, if you're not asthmatic or allergic) of a mask can't really be more important than the well-being of your fellow humans, unless you are a major self-absorbed arsehole, of course. | Selbst wenn man nicht an das Virus oder die Effektivität des Maskentragens glaubt, kann man doch eine tragen, einfach aus Respekt. Die kleine Unannehmlichkeit (mehr ist es nicht, außer man ist asthmatisch oder allergisch) einer Maske kann nicht wirklich wichtiger sein als das Wohlergehen der Mitmenschen, es sei denn, man ist ein enormes, selbstverliebtes Arschloch. ------------ | ------------- As an afterthought: There will be some people who (deliberately) misinterpret this text as some kind of endorsement for governmental measures. But it only deals with the question of science vs. belief. How useful or desirable certain government interventions are, is an entirely different question. | Ein Nachgedanke: Es wird wohl einige Leutchen geben, die diesen Text als eine Art Billigung staatlicher Maßnahmen (absichtlich) fehlinterpretieren. Es geht aber nur um das Thema Glaube vs. Wissenschaft. Wie sinnvoll oder wünschenswert bestimmte Regierungsentscheidungen sind, ist eine völlig andere Frage. ------------ | ------------- Sources: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v6 https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/ https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/estimating-mortality-from-covid-19 Originally posted: https://hive.blog/health/@bossel/corona-creationism-coronakreationismus

Because if you eat radish without leaves, your stomach will have to expend more energy, but if you eat with leaves, then you Will help digest radish. It has also been observed that radish causes pain due to gas and sometimes indigestion in the stomach. But research has shown that radish leaves have magical powers. And all the above troubles can be avoided. If we eat radish leaves with radish. Adding salt to radish is also beneficial. But salt is less important.

If you were feeling responsible for the "second wave" of covid-19 positive cases supposedly happening right now, you should, said Canada's great leader Justine Timberleau today.Despite deaths being near-zero, and the highly-touted "record positives" simply due to record testing, state media is pushing hard for lockdowns, restrictions, and fundamental changes to society. And it's ALL our fault, they say.Lockdown IntensifiesMy province (BC) just announced deepening restrictions, effective immediately, including a maximum of 6 visitors to each dwelling. Not 6 different people each time you have guests, just 6 visitors in total. We're told most houses should have far less than 6 total "safe" guests.And masks are now "strongly encouraged" (one step down from mandatory) in ALL public places in BC.This is incredibly distressing. It's hard to explain how cornered I'm beginning to feel. I've done nothing wrong, but I'm increasingly being seen as a source of disease and death, like a modern-day leper. I feel like I'm going to have to strap a dangerous diaper onto my face if I want to buy food for my family. I feel like somebody is manipulating what I wear, how I look, how much oxygen I get, if I can smile at others, and in many ways, where I go and what I do. It's too much. I'm not anti mask, I'm anti MANDATORY mask. Wear one all you like, but you can't force me into one. I also feel increasingly lonely and isolated. And like there's now one more barrier in between me, and my fellow man. Specifically, my children, who I've been separated from for years, and hoping to reunite with. This feels like one more wall put up between them and I. It feels like it's getting less and less likely I'm going to be able to break through all the barriers, at the same time, in order to see them again. As these unconstitutional restrictions get more and more extreme, without any sound evidence backing up their use, I feel that most people are too afraid to do anything but go along with them. Most people I know are pretending nothing's happening, nothing at all. It's absolutely incredible to see how far they'll go to act like everything is fine, and that nothing has changed - or at least, that they are adjusting well to the changes. I see them as part of the problem. By going along with it, they're endangering the rest of us, by enabling our abusers. "The increase in new cases comes as a direct result of social gatherings happening in private homes", Bonnie Henry said. They are blaming us - for what they are doing. It's classic victim-shaming, bullying, and gaslighting. "Enforcement will be stepped up to ensure public health policies are followed." Go fuck yourselves. Using OUR resources, to force us to buy and wear masks, which have been proven ineffective AND dangerous? You traitors to humanity. You vile scum. You filth.To the masked idiots:Stop flinching or scowling when you see people without "their mask" on. If your masks works, you're safe. If it doesn't, why are you wearing it? I've suffered with PTSD for 4.5 years, and there are certain things that cause me a fair bit of anxiety. I do my best, and with cannabis I have overcome most of my symptoms, but having strangers stare/glare at me lately is really not helping. My wife only has 50% of her lung function (due to her battle with cancer and radiation therapy), but people can't tell that by looking at her in public, and she too gets glares, or treated rudely by cashiers, or refused entry. We have a baby that needs food and supplies on a regular basis! Making us second class citizens is harming us for no good reason, and potentially my innocent son. I'm about sick of it. To the heroes showing their faces, not scaring little kids, keeping their immune system functioning, and not bowing to authoritarianism: THANK YOU! To Justin Hairdeau: You have 3 fingers pointing right back at yourself, bud.PS: Sweden went against the trend and had NO lockdown, minimal restrictions, and zero masks. Their economy is intact, nobody is dying, and The States, with various lockdowns and restrictions in place, now have a much higher per capita death rate - and rising into their second wave. There's no second wave possible for Sweden. They took their licks and came out on top.Originally posted: https://hive.blog/news/@drutter/justin-trudeau-points-a-finger-at-canadians Mental Health: A Walk to Dispel Your Storms/SaludMental: Una caminata para disipar tus tormentas10/27/2020

A walk will always be a good option to relax and dissipate your storms, especially on days like today, when you feel you no longer have the strength to go on, nor the desire to laugh. # In those moments, take a breath. Get your shoes, training clothes and go for a walk. Yes, just like you read it! When you start this activity, you will feel that the toxin that lives in you (that annoying voice that tells us that we can't), starts to sabotage you and the thoughts that try to make you give up appear: *What are you doing? Why aren't you in bed crying? But, resist. Walk and the further you go, the further you will hear his voice. Those thoughts weigh less and, on automatic, you begin to see beautiful things around you. Endorphins take over and everything changes. Little by little, you will feel your heartbeat adjusting to each of your steps and soon the calm comes. You will concentrate on the solutions and not on the problems. Well, you may not find the solution so quickly, but you will find peace and that is enough and it will help you stay mentally healthy. But, this is not all, walking also allows me to control my blood pressure, which has been quite affected these days. I can control my blood sugar levels, reduce bad cholesterol, improve my cognitive processes by keeping you away from senile dementia and Alzheimer's. Besides, you will feel happy, because in those 60 minutes of walking you will reduce the possibility of suffering from breast or colon cancer. Your heart gets stronger, as do my bones, making them stronger, and my legs, buttocks and abs are grateful for that. If you are prone to suffer from varicose veins, you will see in this activity a great possibility of improving this condition, because while you walk our circulation improves and thus prevents the appearance of this unwanted condition. And, best of all, it changes our mood after an intense day of work, a hard afternoon of doing homework with your children, a strong argument at home or, perhaps, to avoid an annoying neighbor for an hour. Believe me, after a walk you don't need any medication to sleep. You don't need to walk for three hours, about 45 or 60 minutes, once a day and every day will do. You can go alone and enjoy that moment by yourself or you can ask one of your friends to accompany you. I especially enjoy the company of a friend, but I prefer to do it alone, because I like to be alone with myself and enjoy that moment just for me. Today I started walking to dispel my storms and it has gone so well that I have even made this publication for you, so that you can encourage yourself and go out and change your life by doing exercises. Do you dare? Remember:
#
Una caminata siempre será una buena opción para relajarte y disipar tus tormentas, sobre todo, en días como hoy, en los que sientes que ya no tiene fuerzas para seguir, ni ganas de reír. # En esos momento, respira. Saca tus zapatos, tu ropa de entrenamiento y sal a caminar. ¡Sí, así como lo lees! Cuando comiences esta actividad, sentirás como la tóxica que vive en ti (esa voz fastidiosa que nos dice que no podemos), comienza a sabotearte y aparecen los pensamientos que intentan hacerte desistir: *¿Qué estás haciendo?* *¿Por qué no estás en la cama llorando?* Pero, resiste. Camina y mientras más lejos vayas, más lejos escuchara su voz. Esos pensamientos pesan menos y, en automático, comienzas a ver cosas bonitas a tu alrededor ¡Es algo mágico! Las endórfinas se apoderan de ti y todo cambia. Poco a poco, sentirás como los latidos de tu corazón se acoplan a cada una de tus pisadas y pronto llega la calma. Te concentrarás en las soluciones y no en los problemas. Bueno, puede ser que no la encuentres la solución tan rápido, pero sí la paz y eso ya es bastante y, además, contribuye a mantenerte sana mentalmente. Pero, esto no es todo, caminar también me permite controlar mi presión arterial, la cual se ha visto bastante afectada estos días. Puedo controlar mis niveles de azúcar en sangre, reduzco el colesterol malo, mejoran mis procesos cognitivos manteniéndote alejada de la demencia senil y alzheimer. Además, te sentirás feliz, porque en esos 60 minutos caminata se reducirás la posibilidad de padecer cáncer de mama o de colon. Tu corazón se Fortalece, al igual que mis huesos haciéndolos más fuertes, Y mis piernas, glúteos y abdominales lo agradecen. Si eres propensa a sufrir de várices, verás en esta actividad una gran posibilidad de mejorar esta condición, ya que mientras caminas nuestra circulación mejora y con ello se previene la aparición de este indeseado padecimiento. Y, lo mejor de todo, es que cambia nuestro humor después de una intensa jornada laboral, una dura tarde de hacer tareas con tus hijos, una fuerte discusión en casa o, tal vez, para evitar a un vecino fastidioso por una hora. Créeme, después de caminar no hace falta ningún medicamento para dormir. No hace falta caminar tres horas, con unos 45 o 60 minutos, una vez al día y todos los días bastará. Puedes ir sola y disfrutar ese momento para ti o puedes decirle a una de tus amigas que te acompañen. Particularmente, disfruto de la compañía de una amiga, pero prefiero hacerlo sola, porque me gusta estar a solas conmigo y disfrutar de ese momento sólo para mí. Yo hoy comencé a caminar para disipar mis tormentas y me fue tan bien que hasta hice esta publicación para ti, para que te animes y salgas a cambiar tu vida haciendo ejercicios.
¿Te animas? Recuerda: #

Of course it is, no doubt about that, even I vividly recall during the days of my late grandfather, when he was ill and taken to the hospital the doctor was like, sir you are not doing any exercise at all And why is that? And from there he began to lecture us all present in the room about regular exercise. He went further to say that while doing regular sporting which really is not just by playing football, but jogging, running, jumping and so on, helps you in burning a lot of fat in your body. https://exerciseright.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/BGYFGA_3366001b.jpg [source](https://exerciseright.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/BGYFGA_3366001b.jpg) Take a look at most of the football players, that even after they are retired they live even longer compared to those who only go out in the morning in the car or taxi to work and at the close of the day they go back home eat and sleep. Without even keeping a little time out during weekends for workout. My grandfather which I made mentioned of earlier lived for and hundred and ten years on earth before he died, and it was because of the advice of the doctor, some young people today will go as far as taking drugs to burn fats not fully knowing that just an hour walk is able to burn thousands of fats in their body. Just as I know the importance of sports to us I do 50 pushups every day I wake up in the morning. And I require you to start doing something now to make sure you live long and healthy live on earth Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-101690/@obrisgold1/sport-have-proven-to-be-pill-against-ageing

A few days back, I stumbled on some artworks on Instagram about breast cancer so I made an art to create awareness for breast cancer and I enjoyed doing it. **Did you know that October is officially the breast cancer awareness month? Did you also know that the pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness? These ribbons are worn to show moral support to the heroes fighting breast cancer.** Now you know. **"Whether you’re a mother or father, or a husband or a son, or a niece or nephew or uncle, breast cancer doesn’t discriminate.” – Stephanie McMahon** In this month, there is usually an increase in awareness, help and support for breast cancer. According to world health organisation, there is limited knowledge for the causes of breast cancer and the best control is always early detection. When it's detected early, the victim has a good chance of getting cured. **Breast cancer mostly affect women but men can get it too, they also have the kind of tissue that can develop breast cancer.** It is advised to engage in breast self- exam which is basically examining your breast and checking for lumps regularly. **How to breast self exam** Step 1 With your arms on your hips and shoulders straight, look closely at your breast in the mirror. Check if; Your nipple has changed position or has pushed inwards There is a redness, sore, bulge or rash around your breast Step 2 While looking at the mirror, raise your hands straight above your head and check for any of the changes listed above. Step 3 Lie down on you back and feel your breast with your hands. Use the right hand to feel the left breast, also use the left hand to feel the right breast. Go in circular and vertical motion, side to side, top to bottom, feel the entire breast. Start slowly and apply little pressure as you go. Most people find it convenient when their breast is wet or damp so apply little water and examine your breasts. If you practise this constantly, it will be easier for you to see changes when they come. **If you feel a lump, don't panic,not all lumps are related to breast cancer. Just visit your doctor and you'll be fine.** What does a cancer lump feel like? It's round, could be hard or soft, tender and occurs anywhere around the breast, most common area is the upper outer part of the breast, some lumps comes with pain. My dears, Cancer is tough, but you're tougher Fighting Breast Cancer Takes Everyone **"Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul.” – Jim Valvano** Together, we will beat Cancer and win. Good morning and stay healthy Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@onyechi/an-art-for-breast-cancer-awareness |
