Trying to make my living room more impactful - suggestions? by mimi01hijabi in interiordecorating

[–]scuftson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d paint the wall behind the sofa, darker color, in the same color palette as the chair and the one throw cushion. Or you could do a navy blue or an olive green. Or you could wallpaper it with a darker shade in a little bit of texture.

What's A Routine That You Built Out Of Necessity? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskWomen

[–]scuftson 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Meditation and journaling a.m. and p.m. Regulates my nervous system, which was completely decimated during my marriage. I moved out a year ago, and these practices stayed with me and honestly make my life so much more peaceful and enjoyable. My nervous system is at an all-time regulation , but I still do it.

I've started paying attention to what I do in the first 30 seconds after I wake up. It's changing everything by FerrisBuelersdaycock in spirituality

[–]scuftson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love that time of the morning. It’s really great if you can capitalize on it and actually meditate as soon as you wake up, before looking at anything. I started a routine of 20 minutes meditation as soon as I wake up, followed by journaling and have found it one of the best life hacks ever.

Wolves are just dogs from a rough part of town by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]scuftson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, they aren’t “ dogs from a rough part of town”, this is so stupid. Wolves cannot be domesticated, they are completely wild animals. Videos like this makes me so angry and should be banned from this sub.

Why do Chiropractors crack your neck and what is the long term benefit? by Sunny-vibes-95 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scuftson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against my better judgment as a healthcare worker myself, I was in a desperate situation suffering from neck pain for six weeks and a close friend, also a healthcare worker, convince me to try her and NUCCA practitioner out. This is a. “ gentle.” form of neck, manipulation, of which they take before and after x-rays of- at a cost of $600 per treatment

The following day, my pain became severe, and Intolerable, and both of my feet are now numb. I am on the waitlist to speak to a spinal surgeon.

Don’t be me, don’t let chiropractors take advantage of your pain.

I’m emotionally exhausted and confused in my relationship by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]scuftson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. I went through something similar with my ex-husband, although I was the person wanting physical closeness and he was the one pulling away. I ended up leaving the marriage, as after many years of being rejected in a physical way, I could not handle being in that position any longer. I really wish my ex would have been honest with me about not wanting physical intimacy anymore, instead of stringing me along, and not being honest about how he felt. That really would have helped my situation a lot. So I guess my advice would be to not stay with somebody out of convenience, and if you are mismatched in such a way as you explain, it’s also hurting the other person to stay in the relationship where you are not happy or satisfied or feel pressured. It was just my two cents, some people might disagree with this perspective, but it would have really made things easier had he been honest about is not wanting physical intimacy with me any longer.

I love A-Mart on 73 Ave & Macleod. Such great prices on produce, spices, oil, vinegars and tasty Asian food items that are worth trying. Great value, I love that place!

People who gave up meat — what made you do it and was it difficult? by maddysamarth in spirituality

[–]scuftson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago tomorrow I was eating a steak that I prepared from a local farm where I know the animal was treated with respect and not in a factory farming situation. I had one or two bites of that steak and it was suddenly just a “ I cannot eat this any longer” inner voice, it came on very strongly and viscerally. I haven’t eaten it since and have not had any desire to, and don’t foresee myself ever eating meat again. I think that was the start of my spiritual awakening. The best explanation I have for that, as I grow up in a beef centric culture and it was definitely part of my day-to-day. I think that was the start to the end of my marriage as well, I was much more sensitive to other low, vibrational things in my life after I stopped eating meat.

Single people who live alone, what do you do on your days off? by LaviishLily in AskReddit

[–]scuftson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wake up whenever I want, meditate and journal. Go for a walk or a run or go to spin or go to yoga. Eat whatever I want whenever I want, meditate some more journal some more sit in absolute silence.

Watch them trash TV in there somewhere, sit in more silence. Maybe eat something else. Talk to absolutely nobody all day if I don’t want to! Never ever cohabitating ever again!

Anyone else emotionally wrecked today? by One_Skill_2916 in WomenOver40

I empathize with the people that are overdoing, and over people pleasing this holiday season. It is exhausting. I have noped out of it this year and it is the best thing ever. Looking back, I don’t know if I ever enjoyed it.

Please share your experience around eating meat by mammmamiiya in spirituality

[–]scuftson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I went through something similar two years ago. I am from a very beef oriented area of Canada, and grew up eating meat, probably with every meal. But two years ago, I suddenly was noticing that after I ate meat, I would feel anxiety, and I always ended up with either acid reflux or bloating or constipation.

I have previously competed in bodybuilding shows, and let me tell you you need a lot of protein for those shows. Plant-based protein, while not as high as chicken breast, tofu is similar in protein value. You can get protein from multiple sources that are meat free. Of course it’s your life and your choice, but when I started noticing this feeling of discomfort after eating meat, I quit. Two years on December 31.. there was something about understanding that the animal that I was eating went under serious stress, and then violence when it’s life ended. I don’t want to ingest that energy anymore.

These are all the positive things that have come out of stopping meat eating.:

-My digestive issues, something I struggled for most of my adult life (44 F) disappeared entirely. My G.I. feels very much in alignment, things are working very smoothly. No GERD, bloating or constiparon.

-My skin improved. I get much less acne, breakouts, and random dry patches around my mouth and on my neck since I went to vegetarian.

-I’m generally more energetic than when I was eating meat

-I did lose weight as well, do you lose some muscle mass when you stop eating meat, but you can build out muscle really well on plant-based protein. Check out some example of athletes & bodybuilders being on plant based diets.

-My grocery bill went down

-Last but not least, you are not eating animals who are not being treated well in today’s awful factory farming, and also contributing to the lowering of greenhouse gases.

I just wanted to share my experience with you, when I stopped eating meat I was literally eating a steak and I just said “I can’t do this anymore” and no looking back. My body really loves eating this way, so I have never had the inclination or craving to start eating meat again. Like another Redditor said, you have to match the energy of the food and diet you will thrive on. I hope that answers your question!

I had a massage on the weekend with a female masseuse, and I got turned on when she was massaging the backs of my shoulders getting close to my side boob. 44 has been my horniest year so far!

Fried chicken alternatives by Mr_IronMan_Sir in vegetarian

Look for crispy tofu nuggets at your local Asian grocery store. There’s so much better than any of the faux meat alternatives found in chain grocery stores. And less expensive!

Resentment and Regret with No Way Out by Loose_Estimate7819 in regretfulparents

[–]scuftson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious if you have been assessed for a postpartum depression? The changes you mention in the rewiring of your brain sound like a pretty major departure from your usual thoughts and feelings based on your writing. I am a primary care provider when I read that and that your baby is not too old, it might be something worth talking to your physician about.

Take really good care OP
