Horoscope for July 23

Capricorn: Successful will be only those tasks you work on in partnership with others. Alone, you won't manage even the simplest tasks, so think about a team of like-minded individuals. Aquarius: It's not advisable to tackle serious questions, whether professional or domestic, today. You won't be able to handle them quickly and efficiently. It's better to complete previously started and postponed minor tasks. Creating a plan for the future will be beneficial. Pisces: Not the best day for communicating with those around you. Understanding won't be reached today even on the most basic questions, let alone more serious ones, so it's better not to take risks.

Libra: When resolving professional matters, it is necessary to approach them responsibly, not leaving things to chance. Likewise, everything must be carefully planned and calculated – improvisation is unacceptable. Scorpio: Do not let laziness, which may overcome you from the very morning, determine your day. If you do not complete the tasks planned the day before, you will start to fall behind in all areas and lose the leading positions to competitors. Sagittarius: The secret to your success on this day is strict discipline, which must govern all your affairs. Only in this way will you be able not only to accomplish everything planned but also to find time to rest.

Horoscope for July 23

Cancer: Do not worry about past mistakes. Firstly, no one is immune to them, and secondly, today you will have a good opportunity to correct them – try not to miss it. Leo: The situation might be such that you see yourself and your behavior from the outside. Draw important conclusions about what you were right about and what you were not, and do not repeat the mistakes. Virgo: The discomfort you feel today is a result of overwork. Therefore, it should be treated accordingly: walks, reading, watching new TV series, and other pleasant forms of rest.

Horoscope for July 23rd

Aries: Not the best day for communicating with the boss. Even if you planned in advance to talk with them today, it's better to postpone the meeting. The result will be the exact opposite of what you expected. Taurus: The powerful energy that the stars provide you today should be used for peaceful purposes. If you have absolutely nothing to do, clean the floors in the house, but under no circumstances should you conflict with others. Gemini: Your ability to change your mind several times a day will increase manifold. This will make you completely unbearable to those around you. At least try not to make promises – you won't be able to keep them.

You should praise yourself for this.

Try it right now! 1. Praise yourself for taking care of everyday tasks. You got up on time, went to work or school, made lunch. It may seem like just the usual duties of any adult. You might think, 'It's no big achievement.' But these routine tasks only seem simple at first glance. In reality, they require willpower and discipline. To complete them, you often have to deal with resistance, procrastination, fatigue, and bad moods. And if you manage to do it, you definitely deserve praise.

Praiseworthy Actions

2. Praise yourself for overcoming yourself. Let's say you are an introvert but go to a work conference where you plan to speak on stage and interact with colleagues. Or you've never played sports but start going to the gym. Or you gather the courage and tell another person an unpleasant but important truth.

Praise Yourself for This

3. Praise yourself for saying No when others try to exploit you. If some requests conflict with your interests and values, it's completely normal to say a firm 'no' to them. This way, you save time, energy, and money, and prevent others from exploiting you. A person who values their resources and doesn't waste them on others without clear necessity may be called selfish. But these accusations can be confidently addressed to those who want to shift their chores onto others and overwhelm them with inappropriate requests.

Why You Should Praise Yourself

4. Praise yourself for being able to stand up for yourself. You put rude people in their place. You don't allow yourself to be manipulated. You stand up for your interests. You fight for what is important to you. You don't swallow insults and express your dissatisfaction. You are not afraid to seem unpleasant and don't try to please everyone.

Praise Yourself for This

5. Praise yourself for respecting others' boundaries. You don't offer unsolicited criticism and advice, don't devalue or ridicule others, and choose your words carefully when expressing opinions. You respect other people's time: you don't show up late to meetings, and don't ask people to do things you can do yourself. You don't manipulate, and you speak openly and honestly about your feelings, desires, and intentions.

Praiseworthy Traits

6. For learning from your mistakes. Mistakes mean that you are not standing still and are trying to take on something that is difficult and unfamiliar to you. And if you don't look for someone to blame and don't wallow in your own sorrow, but instead analyze the causes and try to act differently next time, you will only become better from your own missteps.

Love Helps to Stay Young

Love, in turn, helps to preserve youth. You just need to want it. Dissatisfaction with life, grumbling, sadness, and anger turn anyone into a grandpa or grandma. To stay attractive to the opposite sex, radiate more positive emotions. Sincere, friendly, enthusiastic, happy people attract attention at any age.

The Duration of Intercourse Does Not Matter

Society has adopted the stereotype from the sex industry that the longer, the better. However, in essence, it doesn't matter how long sex lasts. Whether it's two to three minutes or two hours, everyone has individual thresholds for achieving orgasm. Therefore, there's no point in adhering to average durations. What matters is that you enjoy the process. Otherwise, you might spend 20 minutes trying to please a woman while she is thinking about how to end your futile attempts as soon as possible. Do you need that? The quality of sex does not depend on its duration. Yes, there is some sort of golden mean from smart scientists at ten minutes, but it should not bother you. True pleasure is timeless. It is better to focus on finding the special spots on your partner that will excite them and turn their world upside down.

Family is Emotional Closeness

If two people live together, that doesn't mean they are a family. And if there are children, that still doesn't make the two a family. Stamps in passports even less so. Emotional closeness makes a couple a family. If it's not there, a man and a woman can live together under one roof for years, raise children, host guests and relatives, visit each other, give each other gifts, sometimes even travel with the whole family, but still NOT be a family. They are just lonely cohabitants who live parallel lives in parallel universes. Staying in such relationships, comforting oneself with the thought that it is supposedly convenient and comfortable, means living life in vain. Because that convenience and comfort is the convenience of a grave.

Four Rituals to Get Closer

Regular joint activities strengthen the bond and create a special atmosphere in the relationship. Here are some ideas you can incorporate into your daily life: 1. Daily hugs and kisses. Start and end the day with hugs and kisses. This is a simple yet effective way to show your partner your love and care. 2. Joint dinners. Have at least one joint dinner per week without distractions. Use this time to communicate, discuss the day's events, and plan for the future.

Four Rituals to Get Closer

3. Weekly Dates. Set aside time for weekly dates to refresh the romance in your relationship. Regular dates help maintain the spark. 4. Shared Bedtime Rituals. For example, reading a book aloud, discussing the day, or simply spending time together in bed. These simple rituals will help you get closer and strengthen your bond.

9 Realizations That Will Change Your Life

1. The more grateful you are, the more you attract things to be grateful for. 2. Success is 5% intellect and 95% perseverance. 3. Sometimes happiness is not getting what you want. 4. You can always change your mind. 5. Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself. 6. You will never experience the same moment twice. 7. Loneliness is an opportunity to reinvent yourself. 8. You create your own reality. 9. Discipline = Motivation.

If the heart is to be filled with anything, it should be love.

If the heart is to be filled with anything, it should be love. Do not hold onto malice, it wrinkles and ages the heart prematurely. When you speak to people, say only what is bright and good. Harsh words blacken the soul and cover it with soot. When interacting with the world, do so with tenderness. Roughness makes the world hostile toward us. Love, give each other kindness, love, tenderness, and smiles.

Live in the Now

Don't put on the past, it's no longer there—neither the bad nor the good. Don't regret the lost youth, don't mourn the missed opportunities, the undone, the unsaid—let go, forget. There is no past. There is no future either. I am only here and once. Live now. Love today. Rejoice with those who are near. Don't try on someone else's life, for the life of your past self is no longer yours... You can drown in the past, get lost in the future, and miss the joy, beauty and love that are right here, close by, lurking and waiting for an encouraging glance, a blessing gesture.

Wisdom of the Day

Most people expect that everything will change tomorrow. But tomorrow will never come. Never. Every morning you wake up, and it is today. Tomorrow does not exist. Your life will always depend only on what you do today!

Mediapart accuses Nestlé of selling bottled water with fecal bacteria

The Mediapart research agency has accused Nestlé of selling bottled water containing fecal bacteria. Company representatives have already rejected the published figures and the calculation method. The investigation claims that since the 1990s, Nestlé has been filtering contaminated water from the sewage system using methods banned in France and selling it as natural mineral water. The fraud amount over the past 15 years is estimated at €3 billion.
