Positivity

Maybe this is the wrong community for this, but to me its very positive that people can get out of depression by just moving more every day.

I know for myself it helps super much, specially lifting weights.

Today marks the first time I enter the study hall not as a student, but as a teacher.

For the coming semester, four groups of undergraduate students will learn to manage microbial cultures and to control microbial growth in foodstuffs under my watch. At the end of the course, hopefully, they can take this knowledge further to make the industry better :)

I know it's February already and many of use have long-abandoned our resolutions, but researchers have identified steps to not only help you keep them going for longer, but also build more meaning into your day-to-day life. The TL;DR: > > > >

1. Look back before moving forward. Before setting goals, reflect on the previous year. Ask: > >

• what am I proud of or grateful for? > >
• what lifted my energy or sense of purpose? > >
• what drained it? > >
• what did I avoid that actually mattered? > >

2. Pick two or three areas that matter to you > >
3. Arrange your environment so the right behaviours are easy

Alright, so with a new year coming, me and my lovely girlfriend decided to go for it. We're gonna build ourselves for the summer!

We bought two full gym memberships, complete with SPA zone and stuff, and it was among the best decisions we made lately.

It's probably the first time training feels good. We often take the same items/machines, both just set them at their respective load, and we push it together! Much more motivating this way!

And after all is done, sauna is the best way to keep the muscle sore down and reward ourselves for keeping it going. This whole thing becomes enjoyable!

Took a walk in my neighborhood today. So many Christmas decorations. Everyone looking happy. It's my favorite time of the year! I even like Christmas music. :)

When I was hanging the lights on the house, my gf said that she suddenly got an idea about what gift to get for me. Which makes me worried, because she got the idea while I was hanging christmas lights?! lol

Lots of kiddos came out for Trick-or-Treat. Weather was great here. We also had a big block party on my street. Great to see everyone in such a good mood and having such a great time!

Some may notice that pika@rekabu.ru has been appointed moderator of !Antisexism@lemmy.today and !positivity@lemmy.today. This is my second account.

Unfortunately, as of recently, lemmy.today isn't always properly available from my region, and I want to ensure things go smooth even if VPNs fail. Nothing else changes, both accounts belong to me. Hope for your understanding!

After a while of running quite dry and moving my science on sheer enthusiasm and ramen, I finally got personal research funding and a great side job.

Now I can continue doing my thing, and on the side earn enough to cover all living expenses, plus a bit extra. The path is rocky at times, but I'm grateful I struggled through and got some recognition!

Where I live, today’s the first day of school for most people. That makes it the perfect time to hang out at the pool.

All the stay-at-home moms show up now that their kids are back in class. They come to relax, gossip, and soak up some sun.

The pool’s just down the street from me, so I spent the morning there, just hanging out and thinking about how good everything feels right now.

It’s a nice break from all the noise and nonsense on social media.
