I don’t know the source but amazing advice.

I’m not sure if anyone has added the source but I’m pretty sure these have all come from inflexible-yogis on Instagram! They’re amazing. They pull from a variety of instructors and yogis, and all of them are so helpful! I’ve saved so fucking many to my collection for future reference.

Seriously. If you’re into yoga, FOLLOW THEM.

This is great visual advice! I love how it gives you visualizations to help you reach your goals.

  • your partner still loves you even when they are away.
  • your friends still loves you even when they are away.
  • they will sill love you even if they have other friends.
  • they weill still love you even if you are not okay.
  • they will still love you even if they don’t reply immediately.
  • they will still love you even if you don’t reply them immediately.
  • they will still love you even if they can’t talk in a exact moment.
  • they will still love you even they are not around you 24/7.
  • they will still love you even if you don’t love some things about yourself.

“they are not replying!”

MAYBE

  • they fell asleep.
  • they are busy.
  • they don’t feel okay to talk right now.
  • they had to immediately leave for some reason.
  • they are studying.
  • they are working.
  • they are practicing a hobby.
  • they forgot to reply by distraction.

THEY STILL LOVE YOU.

“they are distant!”

MAYBE

  • they are going through a hard time.
  • they are hurt by something you said or did (don’t get paranoid because of it, try to talk to them).
  • they are very busy with work or studies.
  • they are planning something good for you.

THEY STILL LOVE YOU.

“i made a mistake and hurt them.” you can always apologize! everyone makes mistakes.

“they made a mistake and hurt me.” tell your feelings to them.

“they will leave me, i know it.” check if it’s not your paranoid thoughts acting out and tell your feelings to them, we can’t be 100% sure if someone will abandon us.

“they have someone better in their lives.” i personally don’t believe in “someone better”, because we all have good and bad aspects, but it doesn’t even matter if they have someone better, because they are with you because they like you and not because of someone else or whatever.

“i’m not enough.” YOU ARE ENOUGH FOR THEM. THEY LOVE YOU.

“i’m ugly.” YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR THEM. THEY LOVE YOU.

Everything I said relates to healthy relationships only. I don’t support abusive relationships and please take care of yourself and look for help if you are being abused.

Have any of your friendships ever ended because you were always the first one to talk to someone and one day you stopped to see if they would talk to you first and they never did so you just stopped talking to each other?

Hey so I see this post a lot on my dash, and so I’m gonna take this moment to say something about it. When you are always the one initiating contact or hangouts with your friends, then it sets up a certain expected dynamic between the two of you. And so when you stop contacting them, they may be so used to you being the one who reaches out that when you don’t, they’ll assume it’s just because you’re busy. Or because you no longer want to hang out with /them/. So instead of just cutting off contact, talk to your friends. Let them know that you feel like you’re the one always making plans. You’ll be surprised at the number of them willing to make a change to help you feel more appreciated and loved. People can’t read minds. If you don’t tell them what you need or how you feel, then they’ll never know.

Norwegian prisons are nicer than my apartment.

holy shit dude

I was really shocked by this and dubious, so I decided to read further. There’s a great article about this here: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35813470

As it turns out, this is more like a halfway house. Prisoners usually begin their term in a prison more like one we’d typically recognize – bars on the windows, locked in their cells. But the emphasis there is on successful reintegration into society. 

As their sentence progresses, with good behavior, they can move into a facility more like this, where their freedoms are still restricted, but they can do things like network with people outside of prison, search for employment, cook and clean and look after themselves, and begin making plans for their reintegration into society. 

As a result, Norway has one of the lowest rates of recidisvism. 20% as opposed to America’s 76%. 

It seems like a shocking idea to us because of where and how we live, but apparently, Norwegians are addressing the real problem. When you take people who can’t function well in society, and then…help them do that?…they….do. Without the crime-ing.
