We can never truly know what it’s like to walk in each other’s shoes, but we can listen and show empathy. #Empathy

Cities are not battlefields. They are homes, schools, hospitals and streets where families try to survive. When heavy explosive weapons are used in populated areas, the harm reaches far beyond the blast. Civilians must be protected.
When cities are bombed, shelled, hit by airstrikes, rockets, or artillery fire, it\u2019s the civilians who suffer. Heavy explosive weapons shouldn't be used in cities.

Self-care starts with the choices you make every day. Here’s your sign to take one step today: - choose nourishing foods, - move your body, - step away from tobacco, - cut back on alcohol, - protect your sleep, and - make time for the people who support you.

"Major cheat code for life: Always having something on the calendar you’re excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy. It promotes structure. It carries you through the lows.” @SahilBloom

Must read. Former Tangara School for Girls student on what she learnt at an Opus Dei school smh.com.au/national/i-went-t…

I went to an Opus Dei school. What I was taught was unbelievable

We were taught that watching pornography causes holes in the brain and homosexuality is a mental illness.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

I split problems into two groups: muddy puddles and leaky ceilings. Some problems are like muddy puddles. The way to clear a muddy puddle is to leave it alone. The more you mess with it, the muddier it becomes. Many of the problems I dream up when I'm overthinking or worrying or ruminating fall into this category. Is life really falling apart or am I just in a sour mood? Is this as hard as I'm making it or do I just need to go work out? Drink some water. Go for a walk. Get some sleep. Go do something else and give the puddle time to turn clear. Other problems are like a leaky ceiling. Ignore a small leak and it will always widen. Relationship tension that goes unaddressed. Overspending that becomes a habit. One missed workout drifting into months of inactivity. Some problems multiply when left unattended. You need to intervene now. Are you dealing with a leak or a puddle?

Forgive yourself. Replace “I should’ve known” with “Now I know better”. Or “I should’ve done…” with “Next time I will…”

Is everything allowed in wars? The answer is clear: no 🔴 Civilians must be protected. Arms bearers must at all times make the distinction between the civilian population and combatants. #IHL
Under international humanitarian law, the category of civilians is opposable to that of \u201Ccombatants\u201D. In armed conflicts, all persons who are not combatants are civilians. Persons with civilian status must not be directly targeted in attacks. Civilians who directly participate in hostilities, however, lose that protection for the duration of their participation in hostilities.

You are literally made of stardust ✨ This isn't a metaphor. The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood and the oxygen you're breathing now. All of it was forged inside ancient stars. Over billions of years, those elements were scattered across space, forming planets and the building blocks of life. Astronomers studied 150,000 stars – and everywhere they looked, they found the same ingredients that make up 97% of you. So next time life feels ordinary, remember: You're not just in the universe, you're made of it. Ordinary you is extraordinary.

Being prejudiced is a risk factor for mental illness. Longitudinal evidence: When people develop racist beliefs, they become more socially isolated—and end up more depressed, anxious, and distressed over the next 6 months. Belonging is an antidote to bigotry as well as misery.

"Hard truth: If you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn't always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.” @DrCarolineLeaf
