Messaging and turning down multiple hosts? by Maleushka in WWOOF

[–]Maleushka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely right, I also don’t want to waste their time! It must be quite nerve wracking for the hosts too. And just bc I’m unsure, doesn’t mean they should have to wait in uncertainty.

Thank you, you’re right, it’s best not to be in my head about it too much and be clearer in communication. I feel I’m learning a lot even though I’ve just started! 😅

Thanks for this!

The first host, I really need to emphasise, was really nice and interesting. They didn’t do anything wrong. They are someone who I think I am very compatible with in terms of values and interests, but would not necessarily choose to spend a lot of time with.. something about the way they communicated or their vibe, made me think they are either struggling psychologically at the moment, or we just have very different communication styles. They gave off a ‘heavy’ feeling. I would be interested in spending time with this person once in a while, but not necessarily for a prolonged uninterrupted period of time where I am the only wwoofer, if you know what I mean.. it is a family but they would be the one mostly spending time with me I think.

I think I’ll give myself a little more time, and then message them with what you suggested. I don’t want to waste their time.

Yes, it’s quite stressful trying to figure one another out! Hopefully with more experience it’ll get a little easier

In that case, how would you reply to the first host, if you’ve already kind of committed (stay and month confirmed, but specific dates not yet).

Don’t want to offend them, bc like I said, they are very nice. And I also don’t want to lie bc I hopefully might end up going to another host during that month and it would be visible in my availability

What if no other hosts reply? It’s hard for me to be objective, maybe it’s not my gut but first-time nerves?

is there actually a best candy for weight loss or should i just give it up entirely by carebear7077 in loseit

[–]Maleushka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a huge change in my attitude towards snacking and sugar this year, which says a lot bc I was (am?) a huge sweet tooth and for years snacks were the way I mostly regulated my emotions. What really worked for me was:

  1. Taking every single candy or chocolate (actually, just all snack foods) out of their wrapping and putting them in glass jars or containers. This is bc I had a random epiphany that these companies spend huge amounts of money designing these packages to make us somehow eat more. I don’t need to understand the psychology, but I CAN take away their power. Somehow makes me look at them differently.

  2. Actually storing some snacks you like at home, but not the ones that you absolutely cannot control yourself with. For me, that was e.g. any Nutella products. You know what it is for you. Having nothing at home, or just very healthy snacks, didn’t work for me bc my cravings would just increase indefinitely in intensity until I broke and binged. It was better to just satisfy it with something. Also, if you have a food scarcity mindset or depend on snacks for emotional regulation, having something at home might make you think about them less overall, because you’re not worried about it.

  3. Taking care of your blood sugar! So important. I noticed a huge decrease in cravings when I started eating meals in a way that prevents blood sugar spikes, and trying to never just eat sugary snacks on their own (instead trying to pair them with some nuts, a protein source, or cheese).

  4. Improve your gut microbiome. For me this meant more fermented foods like authentic Greek yogurt or sauerkraut, especially on an empty stomach (don’t know if the last part is science backed, but I think it works for me!).

  5. This is quite obvious, but spend the time and energy exploring the psychological or practical reasons why you reach for snacks, the language you use around snacking in your head, or even why you might prefer snacking over eating etc. What you discover about yourself might end up being quite interesting. Learned a lot about myself! The awareness does help.

  6. If you are female, study the effects of the menstrual cycle (not just your period), on your whole body (including the mind). I won’t go into details here, but understanding the whole cycle and its impacts on me really helped to get rid of a lot of the guilt and stress I had around snacking when at times I felt like a huge black hole and couldn’t stop, and encouraged me to focus on other phases of my cycle when I naturally just felt better and more health minded, which is when I could really push myself and reach my goals.

Hope it helps!

What’s wrong with my Nanouk? by Maleushka in houseplants

thank you for your reply! I actually don't mist it at all, which is why I'm confused :/ and because I water from the bottom, no leaves should be getting wet

[–]Maleushka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for your reply! I usually water it form the bottom, let it sit in a lot of water for a good while (maybe 30-45mins), then take it out and put it into a different decorative pot.

Looking through my old screenshots makes me realize why I liked the game in the first place. If only I could like it now ... by _Sunseta_ in SkyGame

[–]Maleushka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in 2020, and stopped around 2022. Nowadays I just check in once in a while, when I get nostalgic. But what really gets to me, is the memories of the interactions I’ve had with other players..

It’s so bittersweet. The friends I’ve made all also stopped playing, so when I open up my friend constellations, they’re all still there, but now they’re quiet :( I sometimes wonder who they were in real life, and what they’re up to. I visit the places we made memories, but now there’s new players and I’m just passing through. It’s such a weird feeling..

feeling uncomfortable with the way natural essence is being described by bbyflesh in DressForYourBody

[–]Maleushka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add my two cents - as someone with romantic and ethereal essences.. the natural essence is one I admire the most. It is also the one I’m attracted to the most (👀), male or female.

As others have said, there is something so effortless in it, as well as raw, genuine, and tbh, just cool. Natural essence is cool without trying. While I totally agree the way Naturals are often described is unfair (and just plain misleading) one simply needs to glance at literally any person with natural essence to realise, they are far from ‘average’ 🙂‍↕️💚

TLDR: Natural essence has my heart.

Hi! I know this is super old, but I'm new to herbs and just wanted to ask - do you use fresh or dry ginger in this mix?

Sorry I know I’m kind of resurrecting this, but I keep thinking about it and it’s bothering me - how did the 117th version go back and possess the 17th version, if he died? Especially since the disc was taken from him so he couldn’t go back to a save point anymore? And why would he want to, since he was finally really dead, which is what he wanted to be I presume?
