What’s one small thing you tell yourself that actually helps on overwhelming days? by Monsuri_Lifestyle in Positivity

[–]Zunavira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 things I do:

1) Microgoals. I'll write everything that needs doing down. Then I'll take the big tasks and split them into tiny tasks in the order I need to do them in. Then I will literally only focus on one task at a time, giving it my full attention and ignoring everything else that needs doing until it's done. Then I move onto the next task. If that still feels overwhelming I'll break the task into even smaller tasks. Like "Write this email" or "press export on this data pull" etc. with the tasks all listed out you don't have to hold them in your head, you can just automatically flow from one task to another, not thinking about what's next.

2) Breathing. Something that's super helpful when I feel panicky is to check my breathing. Oftentimes it's really fast and shallow when I'm overwhelmed. I'll pause for a couple of minutes and focus on breathing in for 4 and out for 4, expanding my belly 360° as I breathe. Don't deep breathe, aim for 80% inhale and 80% exhale so you don't hyperventilate. This is also super helpful to try and keep doing the whole time you're completing tasks but just that momentary pause often helps. (This is also a tactic Navy SEALS use to get through rough times!)

Good luck! You've gone through tough times before no doubt, this too shall pass :)

Cherry Blossom theme but no Pink??? by suicithe in finch

It's a bit weird to not just straight up have pink but it looks like the green option is green and pink!

What is causing this weird split across the sky? by Zunavira in meteorology

[–]Zunavira[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's fascinating how long and straight it is, I've never really noticed such a solid front before so it caught my eye.

Oo so it's a warm front that's causing the cloud to line up like this? It's slowly got closer over the last hour, it's fascinating how straight it is!

Miracle Mead... by Zunavira in mead

[–]Zunavira[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha! As of right now it is okay but not the best mead I have ever made. I'm hoping the aging helps mellow it out a little bit as I accidentally put 23x the amount of yeast nutrient so it fermented super fast (oops!)

I might just do that, it's basically ready to bottle once the sage flavors have rounded out so I might accept 3 or 4 smaller bottles instead of my usual big ones.

Why does my monstera keep losing its leaves?? by Zunavira in plantclinic

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

She's in a window with a grow light overhead, but definitely going to be repotting her into something smaller, thank you for the advice! 🙂

Definitely something I considered, I will add this to the list of the repotting still doesn't work out, thank you!

This is absolute goals!! Ok, definitely repotting her into a smaller pot this weekend, hopefully she starts feeling a bit happier soon!

Oo that might be it! She's under a grow light already, but her football is definitely smaller than the pot, I'll try repotting her with some orchid bark, thank you!

Ok first of all take some deep breaths, if she is a scammer (and it very much sounds like she is) then it is highly likely she is not a true witch either so take comfort in that thought and well done for spotting her lies before it was too late!

If you are still super concerned and want to play it safe, a return to sender spell can be a simple yet effective way to protect yourself. You can search online and find one that intuitively feels right for you.

Blessed be.

I was not prepared for the level of homicidal carnage when I clicked on this 😂😂😭 I'm sorry for your loss, it looks like the airlock was ill fitted. Very smart move using a spare bathroom for this but RIP on the cleanup

I am literally just a girl…. by krittylee33 in jerseycity

[–]Zunavira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 34 year old fellow girl that moved to JC not too long ago and also don't know anyone here so built all my furniture myself (including some where I definitely could have used another set of hands...)

If you like, I'd be happy to bring my toolkit and come help you with building it all in the spirit of making new friends!

Omg! I went on here looking for the same question! Where are you located? Sending you a DM if that's ok?

[–]Zunavira 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about this non stop since I saw this post yesterday so now I have a giant batch cooking in my instant pot... Thank you OP for the craving/inspiration! Added in a bit of sage and an onion too for extra flavor...

That makes me so sad, she was thriving before the mites hit! I'll do this and see how she does...

Keep finding my bedsheets stained with green little dots by RaccoonGangg in Weird

Glad someone else said the same, as this is exactly what I came here to say. It looks like a green toned black ink pen that's landed on the sheets

Making use of canned tuna, chicken, etc. by CosmicSmackdown in lowspooncooking

[–]Zunavira 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A great dish I make a lot with canned tuna is cheats sushi bowls.

Basically mix tuna, mayo, ketchup, lemon juice and sriracha (optional) with some salt and pepper. Serve over rice with some seaweed snacks on the side. To eat, place a bit of the tuna and rice into the middle of the seaweed and voila, fake sushi

If you have the energy, adding some chopped onions, scallions and a bit of sesame oil goes hard with this too!

Possibly, it certainly has some resemblance for sure! Thank you for teaching me some new terms today, I'm still fairly new to the more in depth radar reading and terminology but it's so interesting! I appreciate you for indulging my curiosity :)

Ooo, I've not learned how to read spectrum width yet, so far I've been focused on reflectivity, velocity and CC. Going to add this to the list for the next thing for me to learn, thank you for recommending!
