“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.” – Jane Austen When you walk into a room where you know you’ll interact with, or be amongst, others whom you find to be intimidating, it’s not always easy to quash your fears and adopt the most appropriate behavior. After all, feeling intimidated is uncomfortable. It is, however, rooted in fear. Whether the intimidation is internal and has to do with your own thought processes, or external, having to do with the actions/behavior of others, you can learn to overcome it. Prepare yourself ahead of time — so you’re not at a loss when dealing with an intimidating person. Steeling yourself to be mentally tough can seem like good preparation for an upcoming interaction with someone who intimidates you, yet how do you do that effectively? An article in Inc. offered sound advice for just what to do in such a situation, keying in on seve...

Time to dive into this week’s Psychology Around the Net, where we’ve got the latest on responding to teen emotional outbursts , whether the bystander effect is real, why being judgmental is harder on you than your target, and more. How to Respond to Teens’ ‘Emotional Eruptions’ : During a panel hosted by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic earlier this week, clinical psychologist and author Lisa Damour explained that the same parents who calmly reassure their toddlers they’re going to be fine after skinning their knees often forget to offer the same reassurance to their teenagers — teens who often feel “completely swamped” and confused by their emotions. Bystander Effect: Famous Psychology Result Could Be Completely Wrong : The “bystander effect” (sometimes called “bystander apathy”) states that individuals are less likely to try to help a victim when other people are around; the more people who are around, the less likely it is that one of them will try to help. Proposed reasons...

We might find ourselves going through a transitional process when we are traveling, moving homes, in-between careers, in-between relationships or simply searching for greater meaning or purpose in our lives and if this transitional process is acknowledged and navigated correctly it can result in significant growth and the transformation of our whole Self. There is a period in which something has come to end, yet the “new” has not yet begun. During this space we may experience discomfort, a sense of chaos, disharmony and intense emotions such as fear and anxiety. This is because the structures in our environment and our usual routines which stabilized us and helped us to feel grounded have dissolved away. This have left a void and an expansive space of the unknown. Within this void we fear not knowing where we are and what is going to happen next. We want to quickly ground ourselves and find a sense of security or comfort. We may rush into the next career, the next relationship or tr...

There’s just something about an egg burger. The runny yolk and savory taste of beef together feel about as rich and decadent and satisfying as it gets.

I have a theory. I think the thing that makes us thumb through our pantry, stand staring into our fridge and scroll through social media are all coming from that deep well of emptiness and an overriding need to fill it. Just because we’ve been working on our stuff for years doesn’t mean there won’t be times when it’ll trigger that pain. Maybe it’s something on the news or a conflict with a friend. But there we are again empty and numb as ever wanting to temporarily fix that pain. I’m telling you this because this is my last post and if there’s anything I want to leave you with it’s this. Self-growth is a lifelong process. Falling down doesn’t mean you can’t get back up again. Losing your temper. Being full of rage. Eating a little too much. Spending too long on Instagram. Shopping more than you can afford. These are stumbling blocks. These are not signs that you are a failure or that your recovery didn’t mean anything. It’s just what it is-normal. The mountain just gets higher the ...

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. There is strong evidence that screening for CRC with colonoscopy, other visual exams, or stool-based tests can reduce CRC mortality. As a result, several expert organizations have long recommended regular CRC screening for US adults ages 50 to 75. In 2018, the American Cancer Society (ACS) became the first major organization to recommend CRC screening starting at 45. Why did the ACS recommend CRC screening starting at 45? The incidence of CRC and mortality from the disease has declined over the last several decades among adults over 50, which may reflect the effectiveness of screening in this age group. In contrast, since the early 1990s, there has been an increase in CRC incidence and mortality among individuals younger than 50. The absolute risk of any given individual younger than 50 developing CRC remains substantially lower than in older adults...

Suicide rates appear to be at all-time highs, with the latest research suggesting rates are one-third higher than they were in 1999. Among people ages 16 through 64, the rate of suicide climbed from about 10 per 100,000 to 14 per 100,000 people. That’s a significant increase during a period of time where, by all outward measures, stigma about mental health issues and depression has been significantly decreasing. More than ever, it is safe and people are encouraged to talk about — and seek help for — a mental health concern. So why this significant rise in the suicide rate? Thoughts of suicide are usually a serious, often un-diagnosed symptom of clinical depression. For some, these thoughts turn into devising a plan and even making an attempt. People who die by suicide are usually suffering from depression and aren’t getting adequate — or in some cases, any — treatment for it. People who have been unsuccessful in dying by suicide say they usually immediately regretted having tried, ...

A special thanks to Courtney Hamilton at Paleohacks.com for today’s keto recipe roundup. There are so many comfort foods that use ground beef in a starring role. Think meatloaf, meatballs, cheeseburgers , chili—you get the gist. It may feel too indulgent to keep on your keto diet but rejoice! Ground beef is an easy protein to use in low-carb recipes, especially those of the comfort food variety. On this list, you’ll find hearty fare like keto meatloaf with a tomato-y topping ( without the sugar found in standard ketchup), a variety of low-carb chili options for any night of the week, and even innovations on carb-laden classics, like cheeseburgers and tacos. If you crave lighter options, try the crunchy romaine salad with taco toppings or veggie-filled Thai beef bowls served atop cauliflower rice. It’s worth mentioning that grass-fed, organic ground beef will offer you the best nutritional bang for your buck, as well as ensure you’re enjoying ethically and humanely-sourced meat. I...
