Clock exercise.

It is often used in Pilates and will help you relax your ligaments and muscles. Stretch on your back, put your hands along the body, bend your knees. Feel the weight of your feet, hands, sacrum, and lower ribs. Do not tense your neck and shoulders. For simplicity, imagine that the sacrum is in the middle of the clock face. Inhale and slowly, without leaving the floor, roll the pelvis to the six. Exhale and also smoothly move your hips to the number 12. If the back of your head slides along the floor, do not try to control and stop the movement. All muscles and ligaments should be as relaxed as possible.

If you want to be happy, stop controlling EVERYTHING.

No, I'm not calling you for chaos. Just stop demanding anything from your loved ones and persuading them that things should be the way you want them to be. You've been asking your husband to fix a leaking faucet for three months, but it led to nothing - so you get annoyed. Or, for example, you ask your son to turn off the computer, but he doesn't quit the game all day long - you panic. The key is that as long as you push someone, nothing will change. In the first case it is important to focus attention on yourself, in the second - on the relationship with the child, but in a different scenario. Stop CONTROLLING everything. It takes up a ton of resources and your nerves if something goes wrong. Trust the universe, your family, your kids. Let them learn how to live their own life and try to do the same to make yourself feel needed by other means.

Unreliable partner

The unreliable partners shift responsibility for their lives to others. So the OTHER has to take care of them, meet their needs, think of them, and share some resources. Even better if he or she gives ALL the personal resources. The unreliable people tend to blame others, make claims, accuse, insult and force the victim to act in a way contrary to their own interests, demand, as well as appeal to the other's sense of duty, covering up their own plans that way. Such a person will never discuss his or her goals, since to achieve something, one should give something away. And the unreliable partner is not going to lose anything he or she owns. That's why manipulating others is hidden by the words "you have to", "everyone lives this way", "it's hard for everyone", "you shall".

Hit, run, freeze!

Actually, these are the default settings of our psyche when reacting to stress. Our brain can be divided into three basic units: the reptilian brain, the emotional limbic brain, and the neocortex. The reptile brain is composed of the brainstem that develops in utero and manages the life support functions. It's responsible for our "freeze" response. This is when fear makes our legs go weak. The emotional limbic brain is the mammalian brain that develops in the first 5-6 years after birth. It is responsible, in particular, for the "hit and run" reaction. In general, it includes any active reaction to danger. The prefrontal cortex (frontal lobes) is responsible for planning and predicting, perceiving the time and context and controlling things. So during a crisis that is perceived as dangerous, this important part of the brain shuts down. And the body switches to the "hit and run" or "freeze" mode. Does this behavior sound familiar to you?

The balloon telescope took its first photo of space.

To do this, built a huge ball the size of a football field. And it really works - the telescope successfully took the first photo. This is the Tarantula Nebula, and not much worse than the more expensive Hubble Space Telescope.

Global warming could release toxic substances from the permafrost.

The permafrost stores pollutants from the petrochemical industry - gasoline, diesel, as well as lead, mercury and arsenic. There you can also find radioactive waste from nuclear tests. This is not an exhaustive list, because many data about the infrastructure in permafrost regions are classified or inaccessible to scientists. According to rough estimates, 13-20 thousand points can be noted on the map of the Arctic, where military-industrial waste is buried. They were not disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, because it was believed that in the permafrost, garbage would be safely stored for centuries.

Japanese scientists cured mice of influenza with the help of alcohol.

They infected mice with influenza, and then forced the rodents to breathe alcohol vapors. The virus stopped reproducing after 10 minutes. For its successful inactivation, vapors with an ethanol concentration of 20% were needed. It is not dangerous for the cells of the body. Scientists believe that ethanol inhalations can become a universal and affordable treatment for respiratory diseases, as they should fight any viruses in a protein shell. Including the covid-causing SARS-CoV-2.

The right to drink at work.

In Spain, an electrician defended his right to drink at work through the courts - it turned out that this did not prevent him from fulfilling his duties. The man worked for the company for 27 years and drank from a can to several liters of beer every day, sometimes "distracted" by wine and brandy. Once the management could not stand it and the hero of the news was fired for constant alcoholism. True, the court found the reason for dismissal unreasonable, since it did not violate labor laws and did not interfere with his work in any way. Now the electrician will be reinstated, and the company owes him 47,000 euros in compensation.

Alcohol abuse makes a person more sensitive to pain.

Scientists have come to the conclusion that when alcohol is abused, a person becomes more sensitive to pain due to damage to the nervous system. Moreover, the pain is caused by two different molecular mechanisms: one is associated with the intake of alcohol, the other - with its withdrawal. And both paths lead through pain.

In the pool of these signs of the zodiac there are real devils. Libra is an air pool.

They create their own "quiet pool" for themselves, protecting their inner world from interference. Young Libra is an open, clean book, but the more life experience becomes, the more representatives of this sign are closed from people. Devils in their pool, like cockroaches in their heads, must be kept strictly, otherwise they can seriously ruin relationships with loved ones. But at the same time, you should allow yourself to be honest next to your loved ones: they will appreciate creative impulses, passionate experiments and other pleasant bonuses of the “still pool”.
