We can't be satisfied! The universe expands to give us more, more, more of everything, but everything is not enough, we want multiple everythings. How long until even multiple universes are not enough?

I become me, when I recognize myself in you.

That’s me in the yellow socks, I just ran the breathtaking Utah Valley Marathon, I run for mental health, while I’m running I’m at peace, but before it I get so anxious it makes me ill, and I swear I won’t put myself through that hell again, but afterwards I’m always glad I did.

Space has no present moment. There is no “now” to a stone, but to me a stone in my hand feels very present, but without my perspective, what is the size, location and age of this stone? I may say that this stone will remain here when I am gone, but without me, when is this stone?

What is the difference between this moment, eleven years from now and 11 billion years ago, to a stone? The stone that I say is objectively there in front of me is only there, because I am here to observe it, if you doubt this, then tell me, when is now to a stone?

I wish I was there with you, to listen and encourage you to love something you thought was too difficult for you, and seeing you go for it, I would try loving something difficult too.

@michaelharriot Jefferson Davis wrote that slavery was part of the founding fabric of the United States. He is a symbol of systemic white supremacy in the US, and to commemorate him is to uphold racism in the US.

Stop stigmatizing mental illness! Falsely blaming mental illness as the cause of gun violence stigmatizes it and results in folks avoiding help. ‘People with mental-health issues are more likely to be victims than perpetrators’ — Chethan Sathya, Center for Gun Violence Prevention

The marketing blurb on the back of a ProBar reads: "When you depend on your body to help you be your best...” to who does this make any sense? As if there were a person without a body, as if our bodies were just appendages, like stuff we own, or things we acquire.

After ten weeks of long runs, easy runs and speed workouts with #Garmin increasing my VO2 max at the start of the week and then resetting back at the end of the week, it has finally decreased it to lower than when I started training, but I am faster and fitter than ever.

In the past few years I trained for several marathons that I did not run because I got injured towards the end of the training cycle. Well, I am heading into my second marathon of the year, uninjured having made some difficult yet effective corrections to my running form, yay!

To prevent insomnia you should take vitamin B12 in the morning, because the body uses it for energy metabolism, which may interrupt your sleep if taken at night. Research indicates that higher blood levels of B12 are associated with shorter sleep duration and risk of insomnia.

Improvement in running speed is similar to progress in musical ability, even in retrospect it is very hard to see when it happened, because it is hidden behind a mountain of practice.

The world doesn’t change because we don't. New generations come and just perpetuate the same systems, over and over, not because they're good but because we are followers. From N Korea to N America, we all just nostalgically repeat what our parents did.

In contrast to "inner child", the idea of an "inner puppy" offers a more lighthearted way to engage in self-compassion. An inner puppy represents a playful yet vulnerable aspect of myself that I can nurture. This is helpful for those of us who find "inner child" to be triggering.
