What beauty routine always make you feel better?
“I would start by valuing education.”
“If I were president, I would resign because y’all not about to stress me out and make my hair turn gray like Obama!”- Kalen Allen
“If I were president, I would do my very best to be a good listener.” – Ty Burrell
“I’d be more inclusive of all different walks of life and make sure their points of view are heard and represented in the government.”- Hilary Swank
I would create a world where my son can be himself and where he can thrive. We’ll leave it there.” – Kelly Rowland
“I would work to end racial and economic inequality and heal the planet and end global warming…it’s a long list! [And] I would try to impress upon people that you don’t need to despise somebody just because you disagree with them. It just seems like the climate is a little bit nastier now than it ever was—or maybe I’m just more closely attuned to it because I’ve gotten older and pay more attention.”
First, we pay teachers more than members of congress, since teachers are far more valuable. Second, I want an Amelia Earhart or Rosa Parks Day to prove to our daughters that men don’t get all the holidays. Third, Halloween is permanently on a Saturday. That last one is my daughter’s idea.” -Brad Meltzer
“The first thing that comes to mind is police reform and the justice system reform. I’m seeing too many people who look like me, whose lives are being cut short. It’s heartbreaking, it’s wrenching and it tears me apart inside. People talk about sanctity of life, but then people who look like me, their lives are taken just so carelessly.” -Dulé Hill
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
In therapy, I learned a term that stuck with me: flooded. When someone is yelling and attacking you or misinterpreting you, you are allowed to say “Stop, I’m flooded. I can’t hear you anymore. Your words aren’t landing.” It means “l need a break.” It means “I’ll come back to this conversation when things are calmer, when I’ve gathered myself and when you’ve gathered yourself.”
1/ Create transitions. :“I realized I actually miss my commute; it provided a mental break and preparation time for the day. So now I re-create the feeling by starting and ending my day with a mock commute, by walking or biking around my neighborhood.” —CHRISTINE SCHINDLER, CEO, PathSpot
2/ Set two deadlines. “I’ve instituted a soft-stop, hard-stop process. I set an alarm to go off at 3 P.M. every weekday, which is my soft deadline. If I can stop working then, I do. If not, the alarm puts my brain into wrap-up mode and I’m sure to make my hard deadline—which is 5 P.M. I want to make sure work doesn’t consume me so that I live a life of great memories, activities, and people.”—LATICIA AUSTIN, founder, The Mobile Sophisticate
3/ Make new spaces. “I’ve created artificial divides in my home to better manage my time. I’ve converted my living room to a gym and my dining room to an office, and I use my patio for conference calls. Leaving doors closed between rooms and following this system gives me a much-needed change of scenery and adds structure to an easily blurred schedule.” —MATTHIAS METTERNICH, CEO, Art of Sport
