poem
BurrsI've felt it like a splinter, for years. I learned how to lean to keep the weight off it. Only sleep on my left side. Like how I learned to half smile to hide the gap where my tooth got knocked out. More of a dull ache, a gnawing itch than a sharp pain. 2/10 on the scale. Or a flat line face, neither a frown or a smile. It never goes away. It ’s always there and if you catch it just right I’m on the floor. Reflexive flinches and self defensive retreats. Why do we let the sharpest burrs burrow so deep? Why do we assume the body will just heal, that the scars will layer it l...

High-Performance Habits That Get Fast and Major Results
Hi I’m Adam Mortimer creator of the Achieve Today Certification program and High-Performance Coach. I help high achieving people be their best selves.

Leveraging Job Rejection as a Catalyst for Growth
Job rejection isn’t pleasant! Nobody likes to hear they weren’t chosen. It brings back those memories from gym class, being the last one standing when it comes to choosing teams. It stings and causes us to consider our value and self-worth. However, if we allow it, we can choose to use the rejection as a […] (Source: EMR and HIPAA)

Post #53 Parenting by Paul David Tripp: Ownership Parenting vs. Ambassador Parenting
A big picture worldview excerpt from Paul Tripp ’s book Parenting really blew my mind this morning. It really helps to put into perspective how we should approach parenting and what our responsibilities truly are and what we can and should turn over to God.Too many parents saddle themselves with unnecessary and unrealistic burdens about their role in raising their children, which can lead to fractious relationships and sinking self-worth (for both parties). The passage below is in the introduction of Paul Tripp ’s book and it was so overwhelmingly insightful, I wanted to share this with everyone who has ...

In this study, we have found that administration of a specific Sgk1 inhibitor significantly reduces the dysregulated form of tau protein that is a pathological hallmark of AD, restores prefrontal cortical synaptic function, and mitigates memory deficits in an AD model. These results have identified Sgk1 as a potential key target for therapeutic intervention of AD, which may have specific and precise effects."

3 Little-Known Reasons That Could Affect How You Motivate Yourself Forever
Imagine your motivation is a person.
And to motivate you, they whisper things in your ears they think will rev you up and make you productive:
"You can do it!"Way to be!""Keep at it!"
These are pretty typical things you think of when it comes to motivating yourself. But you've got to wonder... does any of that "positivity" actually work?
I've been in the self-improvement world for over 14 years, and I've tried it all. And if I'm being honest... positivity's never done much for me.
Beyond temporarily making me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile, it's rarely actually kept my motivation going for more tha...

Immune Aging is the Foundation of Frailty
Here find a perspective on the great importance of a functional immune system to health in later life. Many of the declines of aging appear strongly influenced, at the very least, by the progressive disarray of the immune system. It becomes less competent in destroying pathogens and malfunctioning cells, but at the same time ever more active in response to the molecular damage and cellular dysfunction accompanying aging. That inappropriate activity takes the form of chronic inflammation that disrupts tissue function and accelerates the onset and progression of all of the common age-related conditions.
The interrel...

In this study, young adult mice were submitted to endurance exercise training and the function, differentiation, and metabolic characteristics of satellite cells were investigated in vivo and in vitro.
We found that injured muscles from endurance-exercised mice display improved regenerative capacity, demonstrated through higher densities of newly formed myofibres compared with controls (evidenced by an increase in embryonic myosin heavy chain expression), as well as lower inflammation (evidenced by quantifying CD68-marked macrophages), and reduced fibrosis. Enhanced myogenic function was accompanied by an increased ...

Broadening the Taxonomy of Cellular Senescence in Aging
Cells enter a senescent state constantly throughout life, largely because they have reached the Hayflick limit on replication, but also due to molecular damage, cancerous mutations, injury to tissue, radiation, or other causes. A senescent cell stops replicating, swells in size, and begins to secrete a mix of inflammatory signals, growth factors, and other molecules. Near all senescent cells are destroyed rapidly, either by programmed cell death or by the immune system, but this stops being the case in later life. Lingering senescent cells accumulate, and signaling that is helpful in the short term, to suppress cancer or a...

Obedience Test Results
Four days ago I posted a simple obedience test. I’m still getting more responses each day, but it looks like the patterns have become clear enough to share what I’ve learned thus far.
The basic idea was that I commanded people who read that post to read 5 more articles from my website on that same day and then to send me feedback about their experience. They could choose to obey the command or not.
Why the Obedience Test?
It was a simple idea that popped into my mind at the time, and I opted to run with it. That’s likely because I’ve been thinking about the theme of obedience lately. Much o...

Epinephrine is the only effective treatment for anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can potentially lead to death if not promptly treated. Allergic reactions typically begin suddenly after exposure to an allergen, which may be a food, medication, insect sting, or another trigger. Anaphylaxis can occur in anyone at any time; it can sometimes be triggered by allergens that a person has only had mild reactions to in the past — or to which they have never reacted to before.
Recognizing anaphylaxis
A mild allergic reaction may consist of hives, itching, flushing, swelling of the lips or tongue, or some combination of these.
However, throat swelling or tightening...

Musical portmanteau – portmantunes
Meanwhile, on a deadline and so needless to say, distracted by a twitter game a guy called Geoff on twitter triggered…
He started it with:
“Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head,
My shaving razor’s cold,
And it stings.”
A Daydream Believer In The Life
Which I think would work better as “In the life of a daydream believer”…
That made me come back with:

No ❌ Days!
I’m more than half done with my 374-day blogging challenge, which started on Dec 24, 2019. I’ve done 191 days and have 183 days to go. My blog currently has 1517 published posts, so there will be an even 1700 at the end of the year.
These types of daily challenges are mentally won or lost before Day 1 begins. It’s best to remove the doubt first. This includes anticipating the objections that various parts of your mind will come up with and how you’ll deal with them as they arise. If you’re unprepared for those objections, they may surprise you along the way and make you want to quit, which you̵...
