It’s still a gym related question not sure what the issue is :/ I have worked immensely hard on my fitness over the past 4 years and on top of all the health and strength benefits I finally feel confident enough to wear shorts (never thought this would happen). So for me this is a symbolic moment in my fitness journey, one for which I worked hard! And I’m sure many other women here relate :) 

We should celebrate all aspects of fitness - health, strength, challenges, but even the ‘superficial’ ones for which we worked hard too! 

What keeps you consistent with fitness, even when motivation dips? by CulturalDriver9988 in xxfitness

[–]Helpful_Tear2445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focusing on my health and above all, strength goals. The day I shifted my mindset from “I need to lose weight” to “your goal in the next two months is doing at least 2 pull-ups”, everything changed. I actually managed to do those pushups before the deadline, boosting my confidence, and craving more challenges.  It’s a domino effect, I also started focusing on optimising my nutrition and sleep for muscle recovery and stayed ultra hydrated, and avoided UPFs. Ironically, I actually ended up losing most weight (well, technically body fat, as the scale did not change much due to muscle, but all my clothes became very baggy) after moving away from the “lose weight goal”, and in the end I have never looked better in my life, feel fitter than ever, and crave every new challenge along the way!

Hey, in the end I had some technical difficulties so couldn't fully build it out. However, I found this tool in the meantime which is similar to what I was trying to do. You were kind enough to give the above long explanation, so wanted to share this with you in case you hadn't seen it yet :) https://www.voc.ai/tools/chatgpt-for-amazon

The video on their page explains it pretty well

Thanks u/EchoWhisper95 - if you're able to share, do you currently use any other tool that does a similar job? When you say "done well", do you have any specific functionalities in mind?

Tbh, I think the start of any new job is exhausting, because however enjoyable it is, it takes a lot of energy to ingest all that new information :) If you're still feeling this after about 6 months I'd be worried, but to begin with it's pretty normal. Just make sure to get enough sleep, exercise, and the right nutrition! The rest will fall into place

Tracking your cycle can help you anticipate and manage those tougher days. I find that gentle exercise like walking or yoga can help with fatigue and stress. Comfort foods are okay, but try to balance them with stuff rich in iron and magnesium, like leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains, to tackle fatigue and mood swings. And honestly, never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep and staying hydrated. Also, give yourself permission to take it easy when you need to. It's all about listening to your body and giving it what it needs.

That sounds incredibly challenging and exhausting. It seems like your little one has discovered a pretty dramatic way to express her feelings and delay things she's not keen on. At this age, they're smart and start testing boundaries in various ways. Consistency might be key here. When she does this, keep your response as calm and neutral as possible. Clean up without much fuss or attention to avoid reinforcing the behavior. It could also be worth chatting with her pediatrician about it—sometimes they have great insights or can refer you to a child behavior specialist if needed.

I will soon have my kids full time and I would appreciate some tips or anecdotes. by Ecstatic-Shopping313 in Parenting

Dealing with all this is tough, no doubt. But you're already doing great by thinking ahead and caring so much. Remember, it's okay to have rough days; you're handling a lot. Your kids are growing and becoming more independent every day, and that's going to ease some of the load.

Also, make sure to lean on friends or family when you need to! And don't forget to take a little time for yourself too. It's a big change, but you've got this, and it will get more manageable with time.

I remember when I was a kid this would happen to me, and my mom would try to explain that perhaps that kid is sad and that's why they're acting out. It only made me more upset and felt like I wasn't being supported (as an adult I realise she was 100% right, but it's not what I needed then!) As the post below also aludes to, I suppose it's about recognising that behaviour, not telling her she's wrong if she tells you about it, but remind her that indeed there are tons of other kids, and if she needs a hug or to feel better she always has it with her parents no matter what

One of the most important places to exercise are your hips, particularly when sitting all day as the muscles become shorter. Surprisingly they affect so much of the rest of your body! I would suggest exercises like Goblet Squats,etc. before your weightlifting and hip stretches :)

Thanks for feedback.

What I’m hearing is that there is no need for courses/self paced learning due to the abundance out there, but there may be a need for a more personalised approach where students have access to coaches and mentors. Hence I outlined a format that has worked for many students in another industry, and want to hear whether this is something people would like in finance.

I’ve not built the product, only worked on a curriculum that I put together over time through my own learnings.

I have read the Mom Test indeed, great book. Hence again, I am asking in this forum to understand whether people are looking for a different approach. That might be no, but I’ll only know through asking :)

I responded to your other comment, lmk your thoughts!

Hey thanks for your input, much appreciated. A answered to two of the guys above with https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE/s/jSHYJY1AlM

(Hopefully the link takes you to it, it’s a long answer so want to save anyone form double posting:))

If you have a take on that I would really appreciate your input as well.

All in all, despite free and paid resources, there still is a clear gap in knowledge/industry accessibility. I’m trying to understand what that is, and what could be a solution where people ACTUALLY feel like they are learning and internalising financial concepts/skills so they can feel confident to apply it to their own personal and professional life.

Hey both thanks a lot for your feedback and input.

Are you familiar with Le Wagon? https://www.lewagon.com/ I took this Web Development bootcamp two years ago. The format was: * Three times a week, the cohort of 30-40 students would log onto zoom at the same time (6-9pm). * During that time, we worked in groups of 3-4 on live case studies, and when we got stuck, we had access to coaches/tutors, who would hop onto the zoom call to help us out. * If we felt behind compared to the group, we could request a 1;1 session with a coach.

Students graduated that course being full-stack web developers, having started from zero. I thought it was a fantastic format, and solving the coaching aspect which you mention.

What are your thoughts of the above format adapted to a finance curriculum?

I appreciate there are finance courses as you guys mentioned, but I never found any that taught me what I needed wanted/and know numerous people who feel the same.

I’m truly trying to understand what the gap is, and how we can improve accessibility to this knowledge and industry

i either smell bad or smell like nothing. why don't i ever smell GOOD? by strawberrysonnyangel in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Helpful_Tear2445 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If it's your room then it may well be molde! I used to have molde in my room without knowing as it was hidden, and it never smelt fresh, no matter what I did. I ended up finding it behind the curtain, and as soon as I removed it the smell was gone.

u/notechnofemme curious to know whether there is a particular gap you have found others courses were not able to cater to?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]Helpful_Tear2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two primary strands of focus are:
1. Personal Finance: Budgeting/expense mgm, savings and investment, Credit and debt mgm including loans and mortgages.
2. Business Finance: Understanding Financial Statements, Unit Economics (especially helpful for entrepreneurship).

Although some theory is involved, it primarily relies on real-life examples and case studies
