2 Months Later, This Toddler Is Still Napping With His Puppy..

Beau is the kid who loves to take naps with his dog Theo. These adorable pictures will warm your heart and make you fall in love with both of them. They’ve been together from when beau was a little baby and they are basically growing bigger and bigger day by day.

Beau, the toddler and his dog love catching some shut-eye together. When did all this begin? It all started last Christmas. Jack and Zoe, the two older siblings asked Santa Claus in New Yok to give them a puppy that year.

However, there was one problem. Their NY apartment didn’t allow keeping a dog. Then, they decided to move out of the city so that they could have a dog. The next thing they did was visiting shelters to look for the perfect pup.

Finally, after a few weeks of searching, they fell in love with one puppy and named him Theo. Theo was loved by all of the members of the family. He got attention from the first day he arrived in their home. Shortly after they adopted him, he joined Beau’s daily naps.

That’s how the story began. One day, his mother took a picture and then we all fell in love with these pictures. Shyba now has 300,000 followers in her Instagram profile and these pictures warm our hearts.

Colorado Is Using $3 Million From Marijuana Tax To Provide Food And Housing For The Homeless

Since the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, besides the already known medical benefits the citizens have gained, the cities have also seen a great increase in tax revenue from Marijuana sales.

Inspired by this, Aurora, the third largest city in Colorado, has decided to go a step further in favor of their citizens and has already started using some of the $4.5 million in tax revenues to help in the fight against homelessness through the support of non-profit homeless organizations and institutions.

The Aurora Council has already allocated $1,5 million for 2016 and another $1,5 million have been approved for 2017 and 2018 for the fight against poverty and homelessness.

As an initial step, the Aurora Council has decided to allocate $220.000 of the Marijuana tax revenue to the Colfax Community Network (CCN). This means helping them in their endeavors to provide low-income families and children who live in motels and apartments along Colfax Avenue with basic amenities and items as well as connecting these families to resources needed for housing, parenting classes, education, or career development. (You can visit their website for more information.)

Additionally, with an approximate grant of $96.000, the Council has provided the Comitis Crisis Center and Aurora Mental Health each with a van and has hired two outreach workers to operate the Comitis Crisis Center van.

The vans will serve as mobile centers for those that cannot reach the institutions because of financial or health issues. This will greatly increase their mobility and outreach and thus their effectiveness in the society when it comes to helping those in need.

Another of the challenges that the homeless people face is getting a landlord to take them and the city has given Aurora Housing Authority the funds needed ($45.000) for a full-time landlord coordinator who will help these people find homes and end the cycle of homelessness.

So far, the Aurora Housing Authority has had a part-time coordinator who has faced a lot of difficulties in helping homeless families to find a home and has managed to house only seven or eight families due to the lack of vacancies and willing landlords. With the help given, the city hopes to increase the number of families who have found a home.

The fight against homelessness does not stop here for Aurora, Colorado. In fact, the Aurora Council are thinking of ways to fund a day center for the homeless. This would be a place where they could wash their clothes, take care of their hygiene and receive medical help.

With an approximate number of over 1000 homeless people and the new increase in tax revenue from Marijuana sales, Aurora, Colorado is on its way to improve the lives of this vulnerable group of people even further and shows a promising future of a city without homelessness. Their steps so far have shown how the legalization of Marijuana can benefit, rather than damage, the local community.

This Simple Image Can Reveal Some Important Things About Your Personality

It is said that every one of us chooses to live a certain kind of reality and our personality plays the crucial role here. Our perception of the world depends on our personality and the things we focus on first, or most of the time, are usually the hints needed for someone to determine and understand some crucial things about you.

This test was inspired by the Rorschach inkblot tests that are one of the few devices which have entered the modern world in such intensity. The Rorschach inkblot tests are a series of cards containing pictures of inkblot and are folded in the middle to create a symmetrical image.

Concerning the accuracy and reliability of the test, Dr Mike Drayton states for BBC.com: “I first came across the Rorschach inkblot test when I was training to be a clinical psychologist.

I was shown a series of cards containing inkblots and asked to say what they looked like to me (Tester: “What does this look like?” Me: “A bat.”) I remember thinking that it felt more like a tarot reading than a proper psychometric test.

However, when the test was scored and interpreted, it produced a scarily accurate profile of my personality. It knew things about me that even my mother didn’t know. I’ve been a fan, if a rather sceptical one, ever since.”

The image you are about to see below is inspired by the same technique used in the Rorschach inkblot tests and is going to yield results about an important part of your personality.

It can not, however, create a full profile of your personality, as for that many pictures like this one will need to be used.

The profile it is going to create is nevertheless an important part of your personality that is connected to your intra-personal and inter-personal intelligence and your general perception of the world around you.

So, before reading the results, look at the picture and say the first thing that comes in your mind when you see the picture.

The Results

If you saw an explosion:

Your creativity and strong imagination are your prime traits. Working in the artistic field might be a very good option to choose, if you haven’t already. This is especially true if you feel stressed and unsatisfied with your current employment.

Did you like to sing or dance when you were younger? Or did you enjoy painting? Even if you don’t decide to switch professions, taking up a creative activity as a hobby is something you should definitely think of. You will not regret your decision.

 If you saw two hands:

Besides your strong imagination, you base your perception on your logic. Logic is at the root of everything you do, be it creative or not. Before imagining anything, you always try to see what there is and then build a mental image of what it might become. Your sharp mind and rationale makes people feel safe to look for your advice.

Your primary ability is to remove yourself from complex situations easily and find an appropriate answer that would work for everybody.

Your rational mind does not allow you to panic easily and you are able to instill calm in emergency situations. Everybody around you admires this ability you possess and this is why you are often made the leader even if you may think that others are better for the job.

 If you saw a tree:

You stand for the ideal of beauty in the details. You are an extremely observant person and nothing passes your perception without you noticing it. In fact, you tend to notice some details that others may not be aware that exist.

Having this ability, you are able to notice and understand the feelings of those around you with a high dose of awareness.

This gives you the advantage of asking the right questions in the right time. With all said, your greatest skill, observance, can easily contribute to the success of your business career or your career in counseling.

 If you saw nothing:

You need to give yourself a rest – a vacation would be ideal. Not being able to see anything in the picture shows that your brain is tired and unable to perform complex tasks.

If you’ve been getting angry easily or have had a hard time facing a problem from a different angle, these are signs that you are overworked and you need some time off for yourself.

Plan a personal day and do everything in your power to stick to the plan.

You deserve it!

How To Answer Questions On An Exam When You Don’t Know Anything!

We all remember the teacher’s advice: “Write everything you know on the subject and don’t leave an empty space”. But what should you do when you don’t have a clue about a single question on the exam.

Should you accept the defeat and retake the exam or should you at least try to get the teacher’s sympathy by using little creativity. I suggest you do the second one.

That way even if you fail the exam both you and your teacher will acknowledge your creative side.

This Is Why Strong Girls Get Attached So Easily

Have you ever met a guy who got attached after the first kiss from a girl he liked? Do you know any man who got clingy after a phone call of the girl he met at the bookstore?

Biology and genetics have a great impact on how we get attached and how fast we do it. Women get attached very easily and in no time.

If they like you, the other second they might imagine their future with you. They sometimes turn to “obsession” in a relationship.

The influence of oxytocin and vasopressin

Newest 21st century studies reveal great information about romantic relationship that help us understand the somewhat clingy nature of women.

The studies surprised us with a great discovery about orgasms and how these cause oxytocin and vasopressin to be released from the hypothalamus (the part of the brain dealing with pleasure).

This releasing has a much greater influence when it comes to women, and, therefore, the attachment crisis is stronger.

Despite the obvious oxytocin, there are many other biological reasons why women get attached so readily in relationships with men. Their nature is completely opposite of men’s.

What happens in a woman’s brain?

When it comes to biology, it is confirmed that female orgasms last longer than male ones and they are two minutes on average, whereas male ones last for only a few seconds.

Gert Holstege’s 2005 study claims that when females orgasm, astonishing things happen in the female brain. Some of the regions completely shut down.

These include the regions for fear, anxiety, and behavior control. These parts are in the amygdala and hippocampus, where emotion regions are as well.

With this in mind, anxiety and alertness are also decreased. It may sound like a state of being emotionless, but it sure causes women to start being attached to their partners.

Women’s brains receive this energy and that’s how they immediately start even planning a future with the guy they just met.

Women like attention

Women also like to get attention from their partners. It may happen that they get attached from even a simple look, or a smile, or a given flower. They don’t require a lot. Little attention will make them consider you as their future husband.

Women want things fast

Women like when things go fast in relationships. The moment they set their eyes on a guy, they can’t slow down. They are absolutely certain of their feelings and they go and get the guy they like. For most of men, this seems like rushing, but when a girl sets her mind on you, she will go fast.

Women are emotional

Also, women are very emotional creatures. We are not saying that men aren’t, but biology confirms women are on the top list. When hormones reach a certain point in their bodies, they can cry for no reason, and start having extreme feelings about a new relationship. 

The truth is that they really can’t control these hormonal changes that happen every month and make them more emotional than men. That’s why a girl is more likely to stay attached after a relationship break-up even though she knows that guy is not for her.

Women are nurturers

Women received the love and care from their mothers, and it automatically transferred to them. Some women love to take care of people just because of that reason. It is how they were taught. They possess a certain power when it comes to nurturing the people they love. When they meet a new guy, they start doing this from the very first date, kiss, or hug. They get attached unnoticeably.

Women are dreamers

In all areas of women’s lives, they dream a little bit every single day. They dream about their health, they dream about their eating habits, and they dream about their relationships.

Every girl’s dream is different. Some dream of getting married to the perfect one, some dream of having a child, but most of them dream of getting the best for them.

If they enter a new relationship, it is because they think they are going to fulfill this dream. Something in that person made them feel like that’s the dream they need to live. As a result, they cling strongly to this new relationship and try to do their best to stay attached.

Women get influenced

This is particularly true for most of the girls’ best friends. Girls talk includes all the details of their relationship lives and they like to share everything with their girlfriends.

Not only that, but their best friends may have a go at deciding on whether a girl should enter a new relationship or not.

Friends may start planning your future with the new guy, while you still don’t even know you like him. This drama may go on, and you as a woman start attaching yourself to this guy so quickly and for no good reasons.

Women like to get attached

The truth in the end is that women love getting attached. When it is about love life, women are doing their best and they are not pretending.

Their wish for attachment is huge. When they like you, they want to get attached, and this sometimes looks scary, but it is all in women’s biological nature.

This Is Your Most Secret Fear, According To Your Zodiac Sign

Every one of us has, at some point in our lives, a fear of something. Whether we like to admit it or not, it’s the truth. I personally have fear of spiders and bugs, and I don’t like snakes either. Dark places make me feel very uncomfortable as well.

Many of us learn over time how to cope with our deeper set fears. However, we tend to repress most of our fears by completely blocking them out and shoving them deep into the backs of our minds and hope to forget them for good.

We can be very successful at repressing our fears, to the point that we may not even recognize them in ourselves. As such, we might not be truly aware of what we fear the most. Do you know what are you secretly most afraid of?

That’s where your zodiac sign comes in- it can help you to uncover what your secret fear may be. According to the zodiac, every sign has different feelings, emotions, strengths, and weaknesses.

A Harvard Psychologist Explains Why Forcing Positive Thinking Won’t Make You Happy

Rhonda Byrne has taught us that the key to happiness are positive thoughts. As we go through life, we learn that the harder you try to obtain something, the better your chances are of achieving it.

The more you study, the higher your grades and accomplishments. The harder you work the better results you will receive. From an early age, we have been raised to think that life is a numbers game.

The more you put into the equation, the more you get out of it. Can we really view happiness from the same perspective?

It only makes sense to think that the more effort you put into being happy, the happier you will be.

When you are feeling agitated and angry, thinking positive thoughts should help you feel more relaxed and peaceful, right?

Wrong. Try telling yourself repeatedly that you are happy, while relentlessly feeling anger piling up inside.

The harder you push, the worse it gets. We think that forcing ourselves to think and feel optimistically will relieve the anguish, but all that does is actually backfire.

Choosing to ignore negative feelings is the same as leaving garbage pile up and pretending it is not there. You may decide to disregard it for a while, but it is only a matter of time until it spills over and starts to smell.

The same thing happens to our emotions. When we sweep them under the rug, deliberately failing to acknowledge their very existence, they tend to explode eventually.

However, what we fail to realize is that only giving praise to our positive emotions and completely blocking our negative ones only makes us less relentless.

While choosing to ignore the negative emotions stirring up in our subconscious, they come back enlarged in other magnitudes.

According to Harvard medical School psychologist and professor Susan David’s book “Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change and Thrive in Work and Life,” emotions need to be handled, both negative and positive.She explains that instead of piling our baggage in the closet, we ought to give it more meaning, without attaching ourselves to it and allowing it to consume us.

This way, we can not only handle the issue at hand, but also learn from it. Anger and frustration can be two of our greatest teachers that disclose our true core values in life. David debates that this is the best way to build the best version of yourself.

In an interview she did for The Washington Post, David states, A lot of our cultural dialogue is fundamentally avoidant, so people will just say things like, “just be positive and things will be fine.”

“The tyranny of positivity” was what a friend of mine called it. She recently died of cancer, and what she meant was if being in remission was just a matter of positive thinking, then all of her friends in her breast cancer support group would be alive today.

By sending out the message that our thoughts are responsible for creating our health, well-being, and reality, we are overvaluing the power of our thoughts, while making people feel culpable when something bad happens to them. They feel it is because they weren’t positive enough.

What is actually guaranteed in life is that it will not go well sometimes. You’re healthy, until you’re not healthy. You’re with the person you love, until you’re not with the person you love. You enjoy your job, until you don’t.

We will find ourselves in situations where we will feel anger, sadness and grief and so on. Unless we can process, navigate and be comfortable with the full range of our emotions, we won’t learn to be resilient.

We must have some practice dealing with those emotions or we will be caught off guard. I believe the strong cultural focus on happiness and thinking positively is actually making us less resilient.”

Forcing yourself to be happy is like fighting with a bull. You know you cannot win, but you do it anyway. You force yourself until you lose all control and let the bull win.

Giving too much priority to positive thinking only gives value to positive things, meaning we are not allowed to feel agony. Nonetheless, we are only human and being human means allowing yourself to feel angry, guilty, and even furious.

It is not wrong to feel this way. However, it is wrong to allow it to eat you up inside. Whenever we give emotions too much meaning or not at all, they grow, whether consciously or subconsciously.

According to Susan, “emotional agility builds our capacity to engage our inner world in a way that is courageous, curious and compassionate. 

“Whereas positive thinking and avoidance have overemphasized the role of our thoughts, emotional agility is a skill set that builds on our ability to face our emotions, label them, understand them and then choose to move forward deliberately.

It is the ability to recognize when you’re feeling stressed, be able to step out of your stress, and then decide how to act in a way that is congruent with your personal values and aligned with your goals.”

Therefore, allowing yourself to feel the negative emotional turmoil as well as the wonderful, flamboyant feelings prepares you for a healthier, more peaceful mindset.

Forcing ourselves to do something has always backfired, and this is no exception. If you are ferocious, give yourself space to feel it, acknowledge it, distance yourself from it in order to understand it and move on.

This will grant you the pass into a more meaningful life, less filled with agony and more filled with unflappable tranquility.
