Change, Authenticity and Being Left Behind… by @denmarkguy

The only constant in life is change. I don’t remember who originally said that, but it’s an oft used quote I believe many of us can relate to. And the funny/sad thing about change is that if we are not willing to embrace it and go with it, we run the risk of getting ”left behind” in all sorts of ways. Personally, I have never much cared for change. I like things to stay pretty constant and uniform; I have certain issues around time, specifically the time I might have to spend learning something new that subsequently turns out to be of no use whatsoever

Reflection | The Quiet Despair of Routine by @coloringiship

There's a certain sadness in watching life settle into a routine that feels more like a slow march than a dance. For many people, the pattern is the same every day: work, home, eat, and sleep. For many, this is more than a habit; it is a strategy to exist in a society that demands a lot and leaves little room for slowing down. But I can't help but ask if survival is the same as living. This is how I used to live my life before the kids arrived

Mi Diario: 12 enero 2025 // My Diary: January 12 2025 by @palomap3

Hola querido hiver. Durante esta semana he meditado mucho acerca de mis objetivos aquí en Hive. Siento que he llegado a una etapa de madurez en mi camino aquí, donde he pasado el tiempo suficiente para conocer los entresijos y los sacrificios que conlleva el éxito. No es diferente de la vida real, en la que la fortuna que parece sonreir a algunos es solo la punta de un gigantesco iceberg que se hunde en el océano y que no vemos, formado por trabajo, tiempo y paciencia. Hasta ahora me había resistido a dejar por escrito mis intenciones para este año 2025, quizás por miedo a no ser capaz de alcanzarlos

Brightness & Freshness in the Depths of Winter by @scubahead

Hail to the Hive! I know what most people think when they think of being on the water in winter, cold, cold, wet, crap weather and cold and to be honest all of that does apply with freezing mist thrown into the equation every now and then to make driving the boat that little bit more unbearable. However..... we have found that for a large part of the winter months the cruising can be quite rewarding with fresh ,crisp cold days with sunshine and blue skies. Yes, really it can be a real pleasure to be moving about the waterways at this time of year and as long as you're dressed properly it's alot of fun

Are you happy with your life? by @honeydue

If someone offered you a chance to do one thing different, to go right where you went left, to catch a train instead of missing it, would you take it? That's the question at the heart of "Dark Matter", a 2024 sci fi TV show adapted after the eponymous 2016 novel by Blake Crouch. The story taps into the often cited many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which suggests that all possible outcomes of a scenario are realized across different worlds. Parallel universes, for short. The show follows a physicist who is kidnapped from his universe and sent into another, where thanks largely to a choice he made 17 years prior, his life has unfolded quite differently

My Day To Day Healing by @trucklife-family

Yesterday I worked two hours in the morning, I had asked my eldest daughter if she would be willing to help me, if I found the work too much, but in the end I managed on my own. Moving slowly, being careful not to push myself too much. I was rather pleased with myself, by the time I had finished. It's interesting how little thought we give to the way in which we move, until we are forced to. How reckless we can be, with each movement

𝑼𝒏𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 by @amiegeoffrey

You are what you consume. Since I committed to my writing journey, I've actively sought out ways to expand my horizons and think outside the box. Are you aware that good food gives us strength and helps us grow? In similar vein our soul and mind need nourishment to thrive. What kind of food?

Turn little things that annoy you into gratitude triggers by @alex-rourke

In the book Atomic Habits, James Clear talks about developing a habit of daily moments of gratitude When I sit down to eat dinner, I say one thing that I am grateful for happening today It works because it triggers you into adopting a positivity mindset at least once a day. If the first thing we do in the morning is scroll through X, we'll be bombarded with wild fires in California and how the local government didn't have water in the reservoirs, which then turns into a political thing, and then we have religious fights, and crypto scams and.... you get the point. If you live downtown, like me, you might start the day with a symphony of garbage trucks, people in a rush honking their car horns because they're late to work, dogs and emergency vehicles! It can be a bit of chaos and can easily throw us into a downward spiral of negative thinking if we let it

Responsibility of Self-Care by @jin-out

2025 for me is a year of self care as well as self actualization. Because of working these f'd up nightshift, graveyard shift, evening shift jobs these past four years it has completely turned my health habits and lifestyle 180 degrees. After running full steam with full time work in a very taxing job all year round, my body finally shut down during the Christmas season was a true wake up call for me. I need to spend more time taking care of myself; to live well, be well and build upon that foundation. If my major goal is to live a more abundant, self reliant and as Chuang Tzu called it "a life of carefree wanderings" (which is an attitude to life

Surviving is not the only meaning of living by @intishar

It's Sunday, and it's the weekend day in most countries. Almost all of us wait for the weekend because it's the day that allows spending our day as we want. We desire to pass the time meaningfully with relaxation, but most of us end up our day doing something that keeps us busy in that day also. Last night, I read a post that made me realize again that we are repeating the sequences of our regular tasks and that making our life boring. In her post, she said, "Surviving does not mean we are living" and that caught my attention, and I agree with that statement
