Society has changed considerably, and perhaps the biggest change that has contributed to today’s perception of society is that of the role of women.
Back in the past, women were treated as birth machines, lacking some of the fundamental human rights.
They were expected to stay at home, take care of the house, respect their husbands (as men were considered as superior by default), give birth to children (preferably boys), and take full care of them.
Luckily, we have evolved in the way we perceive the very-important role of women in society. With this evolution surfaced the true nature and beauty of women and luckily, it’s here to stay.
And while the Alpha attribute was only given to men back in the past, with the freedom women explore nowadays, some of them can proudly call themselves Alpha Women.
ALPHA WOMEN
Alpha women are highly self-conscious and will not allow anyone to tell them what they can or can’t do. They can quickly excel in business, as they step bravely and firmly. However, their dominance doesn’t only lie in their career paths.
These women are aware of their sexuality and aren’t afraid to show it. They can seduce you as easily as they can close a business deal, and they will do it with all the feminine energy they are abundant with.
Alpha women are dominant and in charge of every aspect of their lives and if their partner can’t keep up with their pace, they might easily end up left behind.
BETA WOMEN
Beta women are the complete opposite of the alpha ones. It’s not that they can’t possess the qualities alpha women do, but they do things differently. Because of their more submissive personality, they may feel a bit diminished or insecure in the presence of an alpha.
They don’t possess the fiery personality of the alpha, and they prefer listening to speaking. The beta woman could be called more traditional, as women used to be expected to comply. This, however, doesn’t make them dull or easily manipulated.
They like to walk on the safer side, and they choose their words carefully. They love taking care of their family and make a real home out of a house. Beta women like to swoon in the dominant nature of their partners, and they don’t like to set too many rules, but rather follow them.
HYBRID (ALPHA+BETA) WOMEN
While there are women who go to the extremes of being either 100% Alpha or 100% Beta, most women are a combination of both. One side will prevail in most of the cases, and it all depends on how they handle things.
If a woman wants to have it her way but would avoid confrontation and would do it subtly and calmly, then you could say that this woman has the goals of an Alpha, but the behavior of a Beta (as Alphas are known to be direct and confrontational).
There are also those women who seem like they want it their way, but only play tough and would very much prefer to be dominated in that situation. This kind of Beta tendency is paired with an Alpha behavior.
Whatever the case, the Alpha and Beta models are types of behavior and have nothing to do with how capable a woman is. It’s got more to do with the way they handle things and the way they prefer to function in a relationship. In the end, a woman always gets what she wants, isn’t that right?
So, are you more on the Alpha or the Beta side?
Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to share!
All people are born with a spiritual side, but not all are aware of it. The truth is that we are all able to unlock this side of our being. Once you become aware of it, you will notice that the gifts it has to offer come to you by default.
How do I know if I have a spiritual gift?
The process of unlocking this side is very intuitive, subtle, and spontaneous. In fact, if you are reading this, you might as well be on your way to understanding your spiritual side better. And if you recognize any of these 6 signs then you indeed have a spiritual gift.
1. Being able to recollect dreams easily and regularly
While many tend to forget their dreams a few moments after they wake up, you have that habit of remembering every bit of them vividly. This gift allows you to read the messages your subconscious receives during sleep.
This is when the conscious mind is silent and allows for a flow of pure information from higher planes of awareness. While this information may seem very masked and even trivial, writing it down in a dream journal will help you find the connection.
If you possess this gift, make sure you use it to learn a lot from your dreams and understand the hidden messages that could help you turn your life around.
2. Visions that often come true
These visions don’t necessarily have to look like a movie that suddenly blocks out your normal vision. They can come in dreams (and you will know the difference), and they can come in a wakeful state in the form of mental images accompanied by intense sensations.
Such ‘intrusive thoughts’ can pop out at any time during wakefulness, and you will know that they are not the regular kind of thoughts. If you get to experience such visions, pay attention to what you saw and rewind it in your head.
Sometimes these visions can mean a difference between life and death for you or someone you know. Also, observe the emotions that come with these images – this will help you understand your gift better.
3. Waking up at 3-4 a.m.
If you respect your sleeping time and you still wake up at around 3 to 4 a.m., it’s because there is something that wants you to receive some major spiritual message. Also known as the holy hour, this is the time when the energy flux is the calmest, and we are most open to higher information.
If you wake up during these hours of the night, it’s not a bathroom call, but a spiritual one. Sit somewhere where you feel most peaceful and relaxed. You may not receive some fantastical visions or hear voices (if that’s what you expect), but your mind will be adjusted to obtain coded higher spiritual knowledge which will unlock itself in time.
4. Intense nightmares
When the spiritual channels cannot reach you in a normal way, your mind tends to transform these messages into nightmares. However, this is still a valid form of communication, no matter how terrifying it may seem to you.
It’s because your mind isn’t ready to interpret these messages differently – compare it to that of a child. Children are very receptive in terms of energy, but their minds aren’t yet aware of what these messages mean.
Practicing some dream awareness (by writing a dream journal) and mindfulness will allow you to become a lucid dreamer. Once you recognize that this is a nightmare, don’t forget to listen and not be afraid.
5. Extreme empathy
Cases of extreme empathy can even lead to experiencing the same physical ailment the other person is going through. For example, a person close to you is having health problems, and you suddenly start experiencing similar symptoms (although you aren’t actually ill).
This means that you have the ability to connect with people so strongly, that you can use the gift to help them heal. Understanding one’s pain, emotions, and problems mean experiencing them. Empaths are healers, and so are you. (1)
6. High intuition
We all possess intuition to some extent. Some follow it, others choose to ignore it – but we all have it. And then there are those with very high intuition. If you have this kind of intuition, you can’t help but live by its messages every moment.
High intuition means that your awareness is spread throughout several planes of consciousness and you can easily gather information from each of them. When possessing such a gift, you should be aware that it’s not only the gut feeling you get that defines as high intuition.
High intuition can spread and affect your dreams, your wakeful state, and even your unconscious reactions. Monitor your experiences carefully and connect them to the feelings you might have had before them. This will help you increase your intuition even further.
Possessing any of these signs means that you possess a spiritual gift, which you need to appreciate and practice. To increase your gift, learn to love yourself more and take care of your health and well-being. (2)
16 Biblical Spiritual Gifts Given To Believers
Spiritual gifts are supernatural gifts given to every believer, but each individual receives a special and a different gift. We, as humans, do not have the ability to use them unless God has not given them to us, and it is the Holy Spirit that works through us when we use them. We, as believers, are called to share these gifts with others, helping others and drawing them closer to God. (1 Peter 4:10)
We receive them freely from God, and they are gifts, not a reward, but we shouldn’t boost with them, and there is no place for pride. (3)
They all originate in God’s Spirit, and you can receive wise counsel, simple trust, and healing of the sick as Paul wrote to Romans:
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. ” Romans 12:6-8
This passage means that we all serve different functions, and they should be considered as different talents and abilities. When it comes to the sign of prophecy, it should be used as a “sign gift,” and some believers think that this gift was given to the prophets that delivered messages from God before the era of the Bible was completed.
However, there is a list of 16 spiritual gifts that are listed in the Bible that can help you to grow as a Christian. These gifts are listed in 1 Corinthians, 1 Peter, Romans, and Ephesians. If you are in some sort of crisis and you do not know which is your gift and how you can use it, you can ask God to help you and God is always there for each one of us who needs help and answers.
16 Spiritual Gifts Listed In The Bible
In what follows is given the list of the spiritual gifts with definitions as given in the Bible.
1. Prophesy
This gift is an ability to deliver messages from God to others, and if you possess it, you may have some visions or signs that come directly from God and it increases with your faith in God. This gift should be used only for warning or discouragement. (4)
2. Exhortation
If you have this ability, it means that you have the power to comfort and encourage others and give them the needed motivation to make them enthusiastic about God and find their own powerful God-given abilities
3. Apostleship
With this gift, you are intended to be an apostle and spread the word of God in different countries and sometimes serve as a counselor to different ministries. Your mission is to plant new churches, raise up and develop leaders and be able to influence others by taking risks and doing hard tasks.
4. Giving
With this gift, you are one of the people who are always willing to give without any need to receive anything back as a reward. You share everything with joy and find less costly ways to do things, and you share your resources anonymously to avoid receiving some recognition for their giving, such as donations to the Church. It means that you are able to manage money and time to honor God. A perfect example of a giver in the Bible is the story of The Good Samaritan.
5. Hospitality
When you have this ability, you always welcome and appreciate people, even though they are strangers. They always feel pleasant in your company, no matter if it is in Church or your home where you disciple or serve them. You often host people, invite others to join them if you have nowhere to go or welcome your first day when you go to your new workplace with a coffee and a friendly smile. (5)
6. Discernment
This is the ability to make good evaluations and recognize what is true and what is not true, and see whether a situation or behavior comes right from God.
The Church needs people who are able to discern error since we’re called upon to “test the spirits to see if they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
The Church is always in need of people who are courageous and can detect false prophets.
This ability can often be used unproperly as people who are very critical and cynical think of themselves as being given this spiritual gift but being critical, negative, and cynical is related to a negative spirit, and it cannot be considered an act of love.
7. Faith
If you have strong faith, it means nothing can discourage you from your strong belief and you know that without faith, there is no hope and our only hope is in God alone. This spiritual gift is the truth and the grace given to us by God through his sacrifice. (6)
8. Mercy
If you are merciful, it means that you are compassionate and treat other people with great sensitivity, and you are always kind and gentle. You are drawn to other sensitive people to support them. Merciful people are believed to be the backbone of the Church and are the main praying power as it comes naturally for them to pray often.
9. Leadership
If you are a person with this ability, you can direct other followers with care and attention, you can easily lead and organize any church capacity, and also:
Inspire others, and Jesus is the best example of an inspiring leader
Nourish and provide others with nourishment and security just like Christ
10. Teaching
You have the ability to teach the Bible to help others to understand it better and grow spiritually. The Church considers it a gift with great responsibility, and those who have this gift enjoy studying the word of God and have great satisfaction when they see others learn and apply the truth of God. This gift is so important that without it, the Church will fall into sin for a short period of time.
11. Wisdom
If you have wisdom, it means that you have an intimate understanding of the word of God and all of His commandments. Wisdom is given nu God to people to transmit the ultimate truth and understanding and provoke holiness and worship. If you have wisdom, you can easily recognize where the action will lead and warn and alert others as it may be harmful or sinful.
These people can lead the Church in difficult times on the right path.
12. Serving
This service in the Bible is called Ministry, and the Greek word for it is Diakonia, which means helping and serving the community and committing to spreading the Gospel. If you have a big heart devoted completely to Jesus and a desire to follow him, joyfully work alongside others to help them complete the task God has given them, you have this spiritual gift. If you are serving, you are humble and sacrifice for others.
13. Administration
If you are good at administration, it means that you have the skills to organize, supervise and plan the steering of the Church toward the successful completion of God-given goals and lead an individual or group of people toward a destination.
14. Speaking in tongues
This spiritual gift is also called the gift of languages, and when we speak in one language, we make prayers glorifying God and communicate with Him and if you have this gift, you can pray and communicate with Him in different languages.
In the Bible, God confused man’s languages and dispersed people across the Earth. The main intention of this gift is glorifying God, and preparing ourselves as His Church is to glorify Him forever in heaven.
If you have this gift and interpret other languages, it should always be done with pure intentions and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
There is a controversy over this gift. Some people state that its nature is debated and believe that this gift has ceased with the death of the apostles. Others think that if you do not speak in tongues, you are not saved and you are not baptized with the Holy Spirit.
This gift is explained in Acts 2:4 as the ability to convey the meaning of the Gospel to other people in a different language or to speak to God in secret and in a strange prayer language that can only be understood by the person who makes the prayer and is believed to be a gift of Interpretation.
15. Evangelism
If you have this ability, it means that you can convey messages to others, especially the non–believers, successfully. It is found in the Bible chapter Ephesians 4:11–12 where Apostol Paul says that Jesus “gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
Evangelists have a unique ability to speak and communicate the Gospel of God and have no fear of rejection, and they freely start a conversation with non–believers about Jesus. They approach different people openly, and this is the gift they received from the Holy Spirit.
You can also see Matthew 28:18–20 18 “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on Earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
16. Knowledge
If you have this spiritual gift, it means that you always want to know more and research what is needed for the Church to improve its status and try to understand the Bible’s ideas and meaning.
You are probably well-versed in the Bible, and you are able to communicate and relate its content with the outside world to every situation and circumstance. You are also able to inform every Christian about the truth and wisdom of the Gospel when they make a decision. This gift is present in those who have the gift of teaching. Knowledge is also the fuel of wisdom, another spiritual gift that differs from this one.
An individual with wisdom uses the knowledge to understand the situations with a deeper meaning, while the one with knowledge seeks meaning and answers with the help of studying and investigation.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” Proverbs 9:10.
What Is The Best Spiritual Gift?
Love is the best gift of all and without love all actions we make with our gifts are empty.
“If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-10 )
“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13 )
Therefore, seek love in everything you do, and you can easily find your gifts because God is Love!
Director of NASA’s Astrobiology InstitutePenelope Boston is one of the scientists in the search for extraordinary life on Earth. She has spent years exploring the caves in Mexico’s Naica Mine in Chihuahua in search of extremophiles – organisms that have adapted to life under extreme conditions.
Naica Mine’s caves are filled with fascinating crystal formations that can reach lengths of up to five meters. Situated over a large pocket of volcanic magma, the cave system can reach temperatures of up to 60 C (140F), which is why astrobiologists have dubbed it “hell.”
However, this ‘hell’ is the home to some of the largest gypsum crystals in the world, which makes it a spectacle to see. And what is even more fascinating is the fact that these crystals were found to contain life forms.
Boston’s research team have found around 100 different life forms (mostly bacteria) living in these crystals, 90% of which have never been seen before. These organisms had been trapped in the crystals for a period of 10,000 to 60,000 years and have adapted to feed on iron, copper oxide, manganese, or sulfides.

“These guys are living in an environment where there’s not organic food as we understand it. They’re an example at very high temperatures of organisms making their living essentially by munching down inorganic minerals and compounds. This is maybe the deep history of our life here,” explains Boston for The Telegraph.
After succeeding in reviving these life forms, the NASA team is now trying to keep them alive and analyze them more thoroughly.
The team explains that other caves are also thought to contain “weird life forms,” but that exploring them is not possible yet due to the harsh environment.
This discovery raises further hopes of finding extra-terrestrial life forms, the most likely target being Europa – Jupiter’s moon which has an ocean of salt water beneath its icy crust. Since these life forms would be very resilient, if not exposed to the sun’s UV radiation, they could survive the trip to Earth.
Dr. John Rummel, from the Seti Institute in Mountain View, California, explains that if such life forms were found, they would be contained “until hazard testing demonstrates that there is no danger and no life,” or they would “continue the containment indefinitely” while they study the material.
Theis may not seem like a significant step toward finding intelligent life in our solar system. However, finding any life forms outside Earth would be a tremendous discovery in understanding how life in the universe functions.
Babies’ world is awesome. They discover new things all the time and everything is exciting to them. Even the bath. And if they are twins, everything is much more exciting and more interesting.
Babies are really precious and you can have a lot of fun with them. But only parents know the chaos that they can create during bath time. Bathing can often be fun and playful and you can feel like a child again with your kids while doing it.
But it can also be exhausting at times because of the cleaning afterwards. Imagine going through all of that with two babies. Sounds challenging, doesn’t it?
Indeed, twins are double as troubling and they demand double the attention. However, they are also double the fun. Something so mundane as sleeping can easy become an adventure if one of them is awake. Similarly, bathing baby twins is epic by itself. One video compilation illustrates this in a perfect way.
Everyone can use a daily doze of baby laughter and this video has plenty of babies and inspires a lot of laughing. It features twin babies doing silly things while taking baths. They are bathing, playing, sneezing and farting and they are hilarious.
Just as body varies according to shapes and sizes, faces also display the same morphological diversity. Double chin or fat cheeks may lead to you becoming uncomfortable, self-aware and emotionally drain. There are different practical and easy ways in which you can reduce face fat and gain more confidence.
Face fat might feel problematic, and difficult to deal with. But it is extremely simpler to reduce face fat than you think, it is important to note a caveat: the numerous fancy gadgets and tools of exorbitant cost will not provide a permanent solution, a lot of them are hardly effective; they will provide the trio of futility: waste of time, waste of money and waste of energy.
One thing you can’t avoid each day is your face staring at you from the mirror each passing days, if you own a naturally chubby cheek, the structure of our bone and the size of your internal facial structure will likely be responsible for it. The more you age, the more the structure that ensure the perkiness and tautness of your face begin to fail.
Also, the amount of fat in your body is stored in the adipose cells genetically, in the event where much calories are burnt than consumed, it will lead to a calorie deficit, in this method, much of the fat is stored firstly in the face.

The consumption of lot lesser calorie than you burn, this is called calorie deficit.

The fact is that fast shedding of weight is as a result of large calorie deficit, but it should be done in moderation. A calorie deficit of twenty to twenty-five percent is the standard. Reckless calorie deficit will result in muscle loss.

The truth is – parenting is hard. It is worth it, of course, but it is never easy. Some parents seem luckier than others in having stable marriages and financial security. However, there are those who either have low incomes or are single parents trying to make it on their own.
Such is the case of Taylor Myers, a single mom of two – one infant, and a 4-year-old daughter with ADHD.
She was on her last leg when one comment at the grocery store made her break down in tears.
Myers shared her whole grocery experience along with a powerful message to all moms in a Facebook post which went viral.
The mother explains how while standing in line at a grocery store with a bag full of groceries, her daughter, Sophie, started to whine and fuss and throw everything from the bag because her mother didn’t buy her a bag of chips. Sophie’s mother has taken away the bag of chips as a punishment for Sophie calling her previously a ‘butthole’ in line.
“She’s relentless. I know this. I live with it. Her ADHD and obsessive little heart gets on these subjects of things she finds unjust and wrong and it doesn’t stop until she eventually falls asleep or something very dramatic happens to snatch the attention off the obsessed about subject,” writes Myers.
Myers decided not to obey her daughter just to stop her whining because that would just reinforce Sophie’s behavior. Instead, she told her to sit down when she heard a woman behind her in line saying: “Oh, for Christ’s sake give her a cookie so she’ll shut up!”
In her post, Myers says that she should have done the right thing and explain nicely to the woman about the severe condition of her daughter with ADHD and that as a single mom she is doing the best she can. But, she lost her composure and said to the woman that she “needs to mind her own f***ing business” before bursting into tears from anger and frustration.
It was at that moment when another woman approached her and started talking to Sophie. She tried to distract her with questions, and when Sophie reached for the bag of chips again, she took the side of the mother and said to Sophie nicely: “No, you can’t have those today. You have to be good for your mommy. She needs you to be good for her. I have a little girl just like you. How old are you? How old is your brother?”
The distressed mother was genuinely grateful for this woman’s support and kindness.
“It only takes one comment to break someone down. You never know what someone’s going through. You never know the problems a child has that causes them to misbehave and unless you know the struggle of being a parent to a child like mine, you cannot judge me. But It also takes one small act of kindness to make a mama feel comfort and validation. Thank you to the woman in Walmart today, for showing that kindness to my children and I. Thank you for walking us out. Thank you for backing me up. Mamas have to stick together,” she concludes her post.
Myers also has a personal blog called ‘Taylor Plus Two’ where he shares pictures and videos of her daily activities and shares her struggles in parenting her kids.
She says that she is happy with the massive response that her post had. Sometimes, just a simple act of kindness from one person can change everything.
Finally, she hopes that this story will inspire people to be more empathetic and loving to those around them.
“I hope that people who’ve read our story will see parents struggling with their children in public and meet them with kindness, rather than judgement,” Myers says.
“I hope that people see that all children, especially those with ADHD and other added struggles, need consistency and compassion in order to thrive,” she added. “They are not less because of their disorders, just different and we, as parents of these different and amazing little people, need support and empathy as well.”
The topic of alien visitations has long been associated with imagination, questionable sanity, or just a call for attention and fame. However, while it may seem like this to some, others are fiercely convinced and are in a constant search for evidence that can prove that aliens not only exist but have been visiting Earth since the dawn of humanity.
We won’t get too much into the topic of whether alien visitations are real or not. Instead, we’ll ask you a question: do you think human-alien hybrids exist?
According to UFO Researchers, hybrids are a result of an alien contact in which a woman is “impregnated.” They describe these people to possess a “highly compelling” gaze – “When they look at you, it feels as if they reach deep into your soul,” explains Earth Mystery News (EMN).
Hybrids are defined as people with high intuition, being able to undergo telepathic experiences, where they can easily tune into any person’s mind and read their thoughts. They often have out-of-body experiences, during which they see parts of the universe from where their alien origins are.
We suggest that you read this Canadian woman’s story about the circumstances of her birth in 1975 and why she believes that not only did aliens visit her family but that she is, in fact, half-alien herself.
In a video featured in Earth Mystery News (EMN), Lisa and UFO Researcher Luigi Vendittelli tell the strange story of how Lisa’s mother was visited by aliens and how Lisa’s birth was never planned (as nobody knew that she was inside her mother’s womb during her 9-month pregnancy).
Here’s how the main story goes. You can watch the full video below.
It all started when Lisa’s mother was 8 months pregnant. While she was resting in her bedroom, she suddenly got paralyzed as she started observing a grey object “come through the walls in the corner of the room,” after which two grey beings entered the room. As the report goes, she could understand their telepathic communication, where they were debating whether she was ‘ready’ or not.
After the short and intense visitation, the aliens left, and it wasn’t until her labor that she experienced a second very strange thing. During all her 9 months of pregnancy, her gynecologist told her that she carried only one baby (a boy). However, after giving birth to the boy, she suddenly started giving birth to another child.
That other child was Lisa. Her doctor was puzzled and claimed that it was impossible. Whether it was possible or not, Lisa came to the world with an O negative blood type, just like her mother, and she has always felt like she was from another place.
The story, however, doesn’t end here. During Lisa’s teenage years, her mother reported that she had another visit by an extra-terrestrial being. This time the being looked like a regular man, very tall, with red hair, wearing a doctor’s coat with the medical symbol with the snake.
This time, she wasn’t visited in her house, but she woke up in a place she didn’t know. She described the room as a “round, large room” where she could see “little, tiny vials all around the room, and it looked like a pharmacy.”
After asking the man what and where that place was and what the vials were for, the man answered that those vials were “all the medication that can cure humanity.” The conversation finished with the man telling her: “We’re never going to give it to you because you’re not supposed to be sick.”
Lisa says that she feels like she has a reason for being here, “a little different than other people, but I feel there are a lot of people like this.” She believes that she and other hybrids like her are here to help things change and that it’s a “very heavy burden to have.”
What do you think? Do human-alien hybrids exist? And if they do, could you recognize one?

Your health is one of the most important aspects of a happy, satisfying life, but if you’re trying to hold down a career, and perhaps take care of a family, it can be increasingly challenging to hold on to a healthy diet for extended periods of time. Today, we want to make this process a bit easier by talking about some easy tips that you can utilize to improve your diet, without sacrificing any more of your time.
1. Weekly Shopping
Let’s face it, if you want to eat healthy, you’re going to have to start buying and cooking your own food. The problem with cooking is that you need to have a constant supply of groceries, and getting groceries can be a time-consuming process – if you’re not smart about it, that is. You can do online research ahead on food that starts with O and new recipes that you want to try out. Planning ahead and knowing what meals you’re going to be preparing the following week, and then buying all the necessary groceries in one big visit to the store is the best way to handle this, and then all that’s left is actually making the meals.
2. Meal Prep
Cooking is a time-consuming process, but only because of the time that it takes to prepare for it and clean up afterwards. By cooking multiple meals at the same time and putting them in the freezer for later, you only have to prepare and clean up once, instead of four or five times. Then, when it’s time for your next meal, you just have to defrost one of your existing meals, at any time during the week.
3. Increase Fruits and Vegetables
Experts recommend eating at least 5 servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruit per day. Choose fruits and veggies that are currently in season – for example, broccoli, kohlrabi and cabbage are all winter veggies – as those will likely be fresher and cheaper.
4. Coffee in Moderation
Sometimes the best way to eat more healthy is to stop existing habits instead of trying to create new ones, and an unhealthy habit that a lot of people have is drinking too much coffee. Excess caffeine is bad for your liver and can contribute to dehydration, so make sure you don’t overdo it. A cup or two a day should be fine, but you probably don’t want to have more than that.
5. No Midnight Snacking
Our bodies are not that good at digesting food after a certain time in the evening, which is why experts recommend letting your stomach rest after 8PM. This promotes healthy bowels, and can actually help you lose weight since you aren’t bombarding your organism with calories during a time when it can’t really get the most out of them.
6. Brown Rice
Brown rice is a cheap, healthy and easy-to-prepare alternative to bread, and it’s so easy to cook up a weekly batch and have some anytime you need a “filler” food. It’s also much more nutritious than white rice because the hull of the grain that contains various vitamins and minerals is left intact instead of peeled away.
7. Increase Your Fiber
Fiber is a type of sugar that is actually indigestible to your body, but is nevertheless essential for maintaining proper bowel function and speeding up your metabolism. It’s easy to introduce fiber into your diet – just up your intake of fruit and vegetables. Starfruit and enoki mushrooms are a great source of fiber that not many people know about, as are all types of berries, nuts and even oatmeal.
8. Healthy Snacks
Instead of snacking on stuff like chips, just bring along some sliced carrots (raw) or an apple. Most of the time, when your brain craves snacks it is simply bored – which is completely normal – so it doesn’t actually matter what you’re snacking. Might as well be healthy!
9. Drink More Water
The brain isn’t always perfect at figuring out what it needs, so it can often mistake hunger for thirst, especially if you don’t usually drink a lot of water. The next time you feel like craving something unhealthy, try just drinking a tall glass of water – chances are that you’re just thirsty.
10. Stop Overeating
Finally, it’s important to emphasize that the best way you can improve your diet is probably just to stop overeating. This is a big problem for a lot of people these days, and a good rule of thumb is to simply stop when you’re about 70% full – or when you’re no longer hungry.
Getting drunk has, let’s say, particular effects on the behavior. And in a crowd of drunk people, you’ll notice that everyone behaves somewhat differently from the rest.
There you’ll find people who suddenly won’t shut up or some who begin to dance like crazy, and perhaps even those who like to cry the alcohol out.Well, you can thank your zodiac for your drunken behavior.
Here’s what you are most likely to do when drunk according to your zodiac sign:
These challengers will never refuse a drinking game, and will, of course, try to win it. It will get them drunk, however, and when it does, they are quite entertaining to be around. When an Aries gets drunk, they become unruly and careless. While they have good intentions, their sharp tongues will spit out some truths. So be ready for some honest truth.
A Taurus takes their drinking to a whole new happy level, making sure everyone laughs with them as well. And when drunk, they aren’t quite the example of prim and proper. Instead, you’ll see them being all giddy and clumsy – especially if there is someone they love there. But don’t worry too much, as laughter is a cure for everything.
It’s not like they aren’t the talkers but when drunk, they especially love talking. Besides being masters at flirting, a Gemini will gladly have a heart to heart with whoever is in the mood for it. In this state, they get exceptionally sentimental and open about their feelings. This is ideal for those who are tired of them constantly hiding their emotions but can be quite annoying for a sober person.
It’s very difficult for a Cancer to say no, and they find those who say no as being difficult. With their heavy drinking and party-animal personality, they will most likely be all over the place. Although this is not what many would prefer, the Cancer will always buy them back with their flirty nature.
Even if a Leo might be shy to dance when sober (which is not always the case), some alcohol gets them started for a night spent on a dancefloor. The combination of alcohol and music is a weakness they can’t fight, and they won’t think twice before they jump out of their place and dance till the rest of the night. They like to play daring games, but they handle themselves well when drunk, so they won’t cross the line. This is the reason why they may not admit that they are drunk.
Virgos are usually cautious and methodical. This is why they don’t prefer getting drunk, and if they do, they’ll do it for the buzz and the good feeling. They don’t like crowded places like clubs or bars, so they will choose a more chilled spot with close friends. Though not typical for a Virgo to get drunk, when they are drunk, expect some vulgarity and cursing.
Being the life of the party, Libras usually forget themselves and drink until they pass out. Their lack of control can lead them to many random and awkward situations, but they don’t really regret anything related to their drunken behavior.
What many would perceive as trying to be a smart ass is, in fact, Scorpio’s wit and sarcasm coming to the surface under the influence of alcohol. This behavior might offend some, but they won’t care less (until the next day, when they will obsess themselves over it but won’t apologize). When drunk, the Scorpio loves to show off and will leave either too early or stay until the last call.
It’s in the nature of a Sagittarius to be spontaneous and fun. But when it comes to drinking, they take this to a whole new level. Their carefree personality comes to the surface and takes over, making them prone to getting into some arguments with other drunks. But really, they don’t give a damn about what others think, so they often tend to put their foot in their mouth.
Capricorns are cautious drinkers, as they won’t allow their drunken behavior to harm the reputation they care about so much. They are aware of their limits, and they will always go at least one bit below the limit. However, when they do drink, they can drink heavily. Even when drunk, they will be careful not to jeopardize their reputation, but don’t instruct them what to do (or not do). They can drink a lot, and will always be soberer than the rest.
When drunk, you will see an Aquarius telling some fascinating stories while being silly and goofy. And just to make sure that the story is interesting for everyone, they won’t hesitate to exaggerate it and spice it up. They like to create lasting memories out of everything, so don’t be surprised to find them taking photos of every second of the night.
When drunk, you will see a Pisces looking for any small reason to grab another drink. And if they don’t have a built-up tolerance to alcohol, they become very messy and daring. They will either be the last ones standing or will pass out from all the drinking. This audacious drunk state is what makes people consider putting them as DD, just so that they don’t have to put up with them later.
While drinking is fun, you should be careful not to exceed any limit, especially when you need to drive back home. Drink responsibly and keep up the good fun!
If you’ve ever tried to look up to someone who is successful and listen to their advice, you’ll notice that they tend to skip the brutal and hard stuff that nobody likes to hear. The truth is that life is made of both good and bad things.
Come to speak of it, what many tend to regard as ‘bad’ is actually a crucial element of life which, if overlooked, can totally tip the balance from one side to another.
And when you come at peace with and try to understand these much-needed elements of life, then (and only then) will you be able to truly start succeeding in life.
So, here are 10 brutal truths about life which many tend to overlook. Do the same, and you could also be in for a twisted ride.
Life is pointless without goals
Many think that living the moment means submerging yourself in the pleasures of the things around you while ignoring the difficulties that may come ahead. However, living the moment, in fact, means using that moment for a bigger purpose.
Working for a greater purpose or goal is what makes us truly live. We need a direction toward which we could strive. Otherwise, we would just become stale and our lives would become pointless.
Others will always think something about you, so why bother?
It doesn’t really matter what others think about you. Why? Because no matter what you do, there will always be those who will praise and those who will judge. So why bother in the first place?
Instead, being true to yourself will lead you to love yourself even more. And those who don’t like that? They aren’t worth your attention.
You wouldn’t like to be liked for being someone you aren’t. Instead, love yourself, and the right people will love you for it.
You only have control over yourself
People tend to obsess themselves over things they can’t control. The truth is, the only thing you can control are the things you think, say, and do.
Just imagine, you can’t even control your body in certain aspects, so how do you think you can control things outside of you? Bearing this in mind, learn to let go of the things that aren’t affected by your decisions and actions.
It’s yours to decide whether you’ll be good to others, and it’s those others who decide for themselves how they’ll respond. Our virtues are ours alone, and our sins are also only ours.
Let go of the things that are out of your control and understand that no matter how you react, they will happen as they do. So, why obsess yourself over them?
There’s no success without failure
The only real failure is the fear of failure. Often you might find yourself in situations where you decide not to do anything out of fear that it may turn out wrong. Well, guess again! It has already turned wrong because you did nothing!
Real success is one filled with trial and error. If you don’t work your way to the top, the top won’t reach out to pull you up. And on your way up, there will be failures that will teach you many things. So, go ahead, and go bravely!
Possessions don’t define you
Possessions are temporary and they don’t possess a character of their own. Yes, you may feel better about yourself, but when you think about it, you are still the same person, with or without them.
People feel better about their clothes because others will see them dressed up. Things, things, things, just like toys – you will eventually grow out of them and will think that it’s time to go for something else.
What truly defines you, though, is your behavior, experiences, and relationships. Clothes cover your naked body, cars serve to transport you from here to there, bags carry your items, but they are all accessories that come and go.
You are the only one that stays throughout the whole time, so it’s best to invest in yourself first.
Thoughts are useless if you don’t make them happen
Yes, you may think a lot about what you could become, or how much you love someone, or whatever else that’s on your mind. However, if you don’t turn this thought into action, don’t bother rewinding it in your head.
Thoughts are nothing if they aren’t accompanied by appropriate action. And while it’s nice to think well, if you don’t do everything to make things well, it’s like you never thought well in the first place.
Actions define you, not thoughts.
Everything changes (and nothing will change that)
The only thing that is constant in the universe is change. We all change, things change, everything is constantly changing. If you think you can keep things the way they are (or were), you are in for a big surprise, and not a pleasant one.
Just like you constantly change, so does everyone and everything around you. Accepting change means accepting growth. Simply, life can’t go on without change. If things were supposed to stay the way they are, we would still be living in the stone age.
Only those who weren’t born won’t die
Death is certain for everybody – it’s the most certain thing, really. Not only should you accept this fact, but you should start appreciating the time you have with those you love a bit more because everybody will eventually go away.
There’s no use in worrying
While there are many things to worry about, there is no point in worrying about those things. Even if you worry, don’t drown yourself into these worries but use them as a reminder of what you should or could do.
And if you can’t do anything about it, there’s no point in worrying. Worries make things worse in these cases. It’s because not only will the things remain worrying, but the very act of worrying will start chipping your sanity away.
Stay sober, do everything in your power, and accept the things you can’t control.
Temporary feelings don’t make for true happiness
Many think that the pursuit of temporary moments of joy and satisfaction is what makes for a life of happiness. The sad truth is that this kind of lifestyle only leads to suffering and constant unhappiness.
Why? Because this relentless focus on temporary pleasures will never allow you to understand that happiness doesn’t come from outside, but only from the inside. Happiness is an unconditional feeling, meaning it doesn’t depend on any ‘conditions’.
True happiness comes when you are at peace with yourself and when you start loving every bit of your being. It comes when you are content with yourself and the person you are constantly becoming through constant growth.
