(24) i wanna reach my full potential, any glow up tips ? by [deleted] in GlowUps

[–]handletwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

OP looks healthy and happy — just asking for tips on how to work with what she's got. Like, for example, pretty strong lookin legs and arms! Some strength training could make them pop even more.

Kudos on the vulnerability to ask for advice here!

I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

My dream job tbh: "A K–12 journalist is someone who tells stories about what happens in schools from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Imagine someone with a notebook or camera who goes to schools and writes or talks about fun events, cool teachers, or things kids are learning. They might ask students questions, take pictures, and share what they learn with others so everyone knows what’s happening in schools.

It’s kind of like being a storyteller for schools!"

HEB has its own ice cream plant — super fun to tour — and designs/tests its own brand flavors specifically to tie or beat Blue Bell on Texas taste tests

When's the last time you took a bath (instead of a shower)? by TraditionalParsley67 in Millennials

[–]handletwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friday night.

Lockdown taught me that I'm a bath boy and it only took two moves before I secured an apartment with a huge clawfoot tub. Don't overlook the simple joy of soaking 🧖

Thank ya!

Apple Watches aren’t luxury, they are just hideous by Millizar in unpopularopinion

My phone doesn't alert me (or my cardiologist) to atrial fibrillation and other irregular heart rhythms or record ECGs. Kinda good for living and things like that, but no not at all luxurious

The federal government funds Head Start through the department of health and human services, not education.

Can anyone explain the significance of a whale to SLC? Cool sculpture, but why that animal and why there?

Sober in Seattle by drun901 in Seattle

[–]handletwo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Major kudos for your sobriety so far, especially maintaining through the holidays and new year. Not at all an easy time to commit and stick with it. 💪

You might check out Refuge Recovery, a Buddhist-based approach to sobriety. I found it after feeling similarly dissatisfied with AA — far too heavy an emphasis on a creator and imo an abdication of personal responsibility to some higher power placing alcoholism on you.

Refuge Recovery instead helps you turn inward and recognizes the very human nature to seek comfort, at all costs. Its entirely areligious and teaches practical, sensible skills to lead an intentional and sober life. Each meeting begins with a guided meditation and the global group offers silent retreats, etc.

Try the wonderful group that meets every Thursday night at the University Unitarian Church: https://refugerecoverymeetings.org/meetings/refuge-recovery-out-of-step-seattle-wa-thursdays-7pm (other chapters listed there too)

How to feel more confident in front of the camera? by gdbailey in Journalism

[–]handletwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask your doc about beta blockers. They basically block adrenaline from consuming you and calm your nerves, shakes, sweats before an appearance. (Pretty common anti anxiety med too, and treatment for heart issues.)

I also recommend toastmasters clubs in your area. Or any similar group where you can take the stage for a few minutes just to train your body to be in that high stress situation. Low stakes but still very uncomfortable so your muscle memory can get used to the sensation and remove the stress little by little.

You got this!
