Hello. Let’s talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I’ve been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it’s definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where...
In addition to some of the other things mentioned here, I set my alarm early enough that I’m able to take my time getting ready in the morning. Having a little bit of quiet time to myself with a cup of tea really helps set the tone for my day.
My week’s been going well! On the downside my therapist who I really loved left the practice (she took a job helping sexual assault victims in the Marines, so good for her, that’s some important work), and I’ve been put on a wait-list. But I feel like I’m in a place right now where, although I don’t think it would be good for me to stop therapy long-term, I can maintain alright while I’m waiting, and that’s pretty cool. Also the choir I sing with had a couple of super successful performances this weekend, and it felt really great to be part of that.
I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells “nooooooooo”, at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter....
Similar story, when Kylo Ren died, my friend straight up busted out laughing. It was a bit contagious and a few others in the theater ended up laughing as well.

Research has shown that adolescents exhibit higher levels of open-earedness, with a greater willingness to explore and appreciate diverse musical genres.

Same. I’m 37 and I do regular playlist exchanges with my dad’s 70 year old friend (my dad passed away a few years ago and both of us strongly connected to him through music, so we decided to keep that going through each other). We’re both constantly seeking out new music.
For me, my Dad brought home a laptop from work and we looked up pictures of pokemon and went to the Simpsons website, circa around 1999. How about you?

Having a great time in New Orleans. Every time I visit a place, I gauge it on whether or not it’s a place I could live, and based on my time here so far I could definitely live here.
Had a really nice conversation with a Brit in between hearing some AMAZING jazz musicians. I know I have a long way to go as far as being informed on geopolitics goes, but it was really nice to feel like I was able to hold my own while both of us were able to talk a bit about various countries we knew bits about.
We have this in my city, so it’s literally just driving the truck youtu.be/QxhHkoz99D8?si=QWjJCJAZcqdXIXIo (I haven’t watched the full video, but it appears to just be 18 full minutes of our garbage trucks.)
Pretty well! Got my grades in, went to a friend’s 40th birthday party tonight, and looking forward to road tripping to New Orleans next week for my spring break.
Echoing the other comments here. It was right about when I hit 30 that I really started trying to live the life that I want for myself. I still have mental health issues to work through, and sometimes it’s been two steps forward, one step back, but at 37 I can honestly say it’s been an overall positive trajectory.
An otherwise good week made tough by the fact that I’m fighting a cold. My students did a great job performing at a school event tonight, and the choir I sing with is performing Sunday. Grateful for the day off Monday since I think I’ll be running on fumes by then.
Do you practice self care?

What are some underrated yet well paid jobs that one should consider and why ?
Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven’t really thought about. Bonus points if it’s an IT job.
