This technology is impressive and it's only going to become more sophisticated in time. 🌶 A Dash of Spice Let's spice up the day, shall we? It's easy to get swept up in our routines and the day-to-day busyness of contemporary living. Let's take a step outside our typical patterns and do something unusual. I DARE you to try one of these mini-challenges: Spontaneous Dance Party: It's never too late to pretend you're in a music video. Throw on some upbeat tunes and hit your most ridiculous dance moves with utmost exuberance. You won't tell me you don't feel enlivened after this. Backyard Adventure: Go into your backyard or (a nearby patch of grass if that isn't an option) and allow yourself to zoom into the details around you. Notice the colors, sounds, textures and hidden gems that had previously escape your attention. Make your perception of the world around you more vivid through conscious intent. Phone Call Roulette: Open up your contacts screen on your phone and close your eyes. Scroll wildly up and down until you feel called to stop. Call the name you landed on and see where the spontaneous conversation takes you. If they don't answer then leave a voicemail sending along good vibes. This silly game might end up making someone's day. Many of you will scroll right past this without trying any of these. Not you though, right? You're not one to turn down a little challenge, are you? :) 😡 Dealing With Anger Gain practical insight for grappling with anger from David G. Myers: "What, then, is the best way to handle our anger? Experts offer two suggestions. First, wait. You can bring down the level of physiological arousal of anger by waiting. "It is true of the body as of arrows," noted Carol Tavris, "what goes up must come down. Any emotional arousal will simmer down if you just wait long enough." Second, deal with anger in a way that involves neither being chronically angry over every little annoyance nor passively sulking, merely rehearsing your reasons for your anger. Ruminating inwardly about the causes of your anger serves only to increase it. Don't join those who stifle their feelings over a series of provocations, and then suddenly overreact to a single incident. Calm yourself in other ways, such as by exercising, playing an instrument, or confiding your feelings to a friend. Anger does communicate strength and competence. It can benefit a relationship when it expresses a grievance in ways that promote reconciliation rather than retaliation. Civility means not only keeping silent about trivial irritations but also communicating important ones clearly and assertively. A nonaccusing statement of feeling perhaps letting one's housemate know that "I get irritated when you leave your dirty dishes for me to clean up" can help resolve the conflicts that cause anger. What if someone else's behavior really hurts you? Research suggests that the age old response of forgiveness may be what the doctor ordered. Without letting the offender off the hook or inviting further harm, forgiveness releases anger and can calm the body. To explore the bodily effects of forgiveness, Charlotte Witvliet and her co-researchers invited college students to recall an incident where some one had hurt them. As the students mentally rehearsed forgiveness, their negative feelings and their perspiration, blood pressure, heart rate, and facial tension all were lower than when they rehearsed their grudges." 🤓 Learn This Word craquelure: those fine cracks and lines that appear on old paintings. ⏳ From The Archives A hand-picked classic HighExistence article. ​[The Noble Truths of Manhood I Learned From My Father](​ I write this in appreciation and honor for my father. And with the hope that men who may not have had the same type of unreasonable father-fortune that I had, may benefit to some degree from reading whats shared here. When I was a kid, my Dad was a sort of god to me. As I grew up and individuated, there was a time I took his gifts for granted and focused largely on his faults. Growing up further and appreciating the whole picture in an integrated way…and having more life experience to see how unusual my childhood with him actually was… I feel overwhelmingly grateful for who he was and what he shared with me. Moreover, I feel indebted to share what I can of what I received with others. My dad was of an old breed of men that I might have thought only an embellished legend if I hadn’t experienced it firsthand. To get some sense of this… One time we were working on a semi engine and it was time to put it back in the truck. We were waiting on the tractor to return to the shop so we could lift it in, but we were losing daylight. So he wrapped chains around the engine and lifted it back into the truck by hand. Because it needed done. After we finished the job, he repeated a phrase he said continuously throughout my childhood: “see the job, do the job, stay out of the misery”. ​[Continue Reading](​ Access 94 Summaries Of Books That Will Make You Better Stairway To Wisdom is our premium newsletter and library of wisdom-packed book summaries.
